Incidentally...

Remember that idea of mine? About how if the Democrats don't start opening up their mouths and saying something the Republicans are going to swoop in and claim credit for "saving" us? Well, it's gaining currency in much more popular and powerful forums like AmericaBlog, where in noting that even William Freakin' Buckley, Jr now says the war is a failure, John adds:

It's over, folks. Cong. Murtha's "extreme" position of only some three months ago is now mainstream conservative conventional wisdown. Only time will tell if the rest of the Dems join in, or whether the conservatives will get credit for "saving us" from Iraq. And only time will tell if the Dems are smart enough and crafty enough to label the Republicans as abject failures.

If Iraq was key to the war on terror, as Bush has said so many times, then his failure there has put our country at even more risk. Just like the Dubai ports deal, George Bush is making life in America and this world more dangerous by the day.
