Too late for soul searching

American Conservatives who now don't back the war in Iraq, but did at first are looking for a way out.

Andrew Sullivan, Time's gay republican (ooo sorry, conservative) blogger*, writes today that people opposed the war in Iraq out of a:

"reflexive hostility to American power, partisan hatred of Bush, and blindness toward Saddam's atrocities"

How about in the months leading up to the invasion, everyone I talked to knew Bush wanted to have a war, and was bending the facts to make it so. He was spoiling for a fight, and it was clear to see.

A child could see it, why couldn't Mr Sullivan?

* a Gay Republican, a rare and somwhat mystifying creature, somewhat related to a Jewish Nazi.
