afterall, I'm just parroting what other conservatives are saying...
"“I have to say, Madam Secretary, that I think this speech given last night by this president represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam.” - Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE)

The reasons for my opinion of bushs Iraq being a huge blunder were articulated quite nicely by bush himself as he admitted his failures.
How can conservatives even argue with that????

How long hasn't he been a conservative Aztec? Perhaps you can enlighten me.

I don't think Bush qualifies as a conservative.

You're entitled to your opinion of course, but as a rule I don't give creedence to anyone's opinion unless they can articulate reasons for that opinion. So you say Bush's Iraq policy is a huge blunder...why? Give reasons and/or examples (and no, the old "We're fighting a war for oil" crap doesn't wash -- first off, the people who are saying it need to get a line that isn't almost 20 years old and anyone who puts gas in their car and hasn't seen gas prices go down appreciably knows that this war has nothing to do with oil). I'm not saying you're wrong; what I am saying is don't just give an opinion -- back it up.

I was going to post something on here about Hagel's comments, but you beat me to it. Seems like even the Republicans are starting to turn on Bush. Watch, all of the conservatives are going to jump on here now and try to discredit Hagel. Good for him. Finally, a Republican that is not afraid to speak what he knows to be the truth. Great Job Chuck!!

Mr. Robot, you are awesome.
The conservatives that can't let go of the blind sheep-like following of Bush do seem to be pretty few and far between and should be categorized differently from other conservatives.
Curious one - Bush had war advisors who said that the increase of troops was a mistake. Know what he did? Fired them. And he himself has no real war experience.

There you people go grouping us.
I agree with the theory, but not the method he is using.
What really gets me is that the commanders on the ground for the last three years say "we need more troops" and then when they get them, the ones that didn't think we need more troops start piping up.
They need to make up their mind because it's not their asses looking at the recieving end of a rifle.

Bush has a plan for Iraq, and it's not a democrat or republican plan. It is a neo-con think tank plan (PNAC) And it's all about order out of chaos!

because it's hard to admit. i'm not conservative, but i was for this war in the beginning.....and one of the most humbling things i've ever done is admit now that it was a huge mistake.

It's not the conservatives, it's the hard core, blind, mindless partisans who worship any Republican President.
