An Honest Neocon, Ctd.

An honest response from another reader to this post:

Frankly none of the ramp-up to the Iraq War passed the smell test at any point. So, I get annoyed by statements like this:

But conservatives and a lot of moderates rallied around Bush and Co. because of the unfair attacks from the left and the media, whose objectivity was never in evidence, and in doing so we ratified and enabled every bad decision Bush and Co. made in Iraq.

"Unfair attacks by the media"? Huh? I had to dig deep into any newspaper to find any story that wasn't merely parroting White House talking points. Our "objectivity wasn't in evidence"? How do you objectively point out that our country is being lied into a war by a bunch of corrupt incompetents? I mean how do you objectively do that while being called a traitor, or worse, at every turn?

I've finally figured out my crime. I was right too soon.
