OK. Before we embarked on the war on Iraq, the first President Bush's buddies wrote Op-Ed articles warning against that policy.
Today, Republican Senators, including Hagel and McCain, question the conduct of the war.
George Will writes in the current Newsweek that neo-conservatives "alarm almost everyone who isn't one - and especially dismay real conservatives." Some time ago, Pat Buchanan attacked the neo-cons. The libertarian Cato Institute has opposed the Iraq policy.
So how come most Americans believe the Administration is conservative?
The failures of the press these days are so many and so deep, it is difficult to say which are the most terrible. But the failure to distinguish between the Bush foreign policy and a conservative foreign policy surely ranks in the top five, don't you think?
