Howls of protest echoed across the right side of the political spectrum as conservatives voiced dismay with the findings of the bipartisan Iraq panel, released Wednesday.
...
Conservatives were particularly incensed at the study group's recommendation that the United States engage Iraq's neighbors, including Iran and Syria, as part of a broad new diplomatic push to enlist other countries, even those that see themselves as enemies of the United States, to try to solve the Iraq problem.
...
"We are fighting the spread of radical Islamist terrorism, and the two major production centers for that very problem are Tehran and Damascus," read a posting on the conservative site captainsquartersblog.com. "Holding a regional conference with them to determine anything but their surrender in that war only encourages the spread of the terrorism that we seek to end."

Others, including influential conservative editorialist William Kristol, accused the study group of focusing its nine months of study on how to extricate the United States from Iraq, rather than how to win.

Well it looks like the right has long since lost the War Against Reality.

What a pack of selfish, unpatriotic losers

Maybe William Kristol will go to baghdad and straighten it all out today?

How is it that he is able to walk freely?

checks and balances. The problem was the GOP cared more about hanging on to political power, than they cared about their country.

"Others, including influential conservative editorialist William Kristol, accused the study group of focusing its nine months of study on how to extricate the United States from Iraq, rather than how to win."

Uh huh.

And Mr. Bush declared victory in his "Mission Accomplished" speech in May 2003.

So that, and Mr. Kristol's latest diatribe begs the question:

How the hell do you "win" a war you're already won? :shrug:
