Scroll back a few thousand pages. The Party of One, i.e., the real Right, was calling for Rummy's head, criticizing the entire conduct of our armchair Napolean, and arguing there were not enough troops and equipment to do the job the way the Military professionals said it needed to be done. I've been consistent ever since. Hence, it seems that your Friedman fellow agrees with me that those you call "conservative" are not "conservative". Conservative would be me.
On another note, the NYT or maybe the Washington Post or LA Times, I forget, has a very interesting article today about the disbanding of the Iraqi military, and they seem to lay it squarely on Bremer's shoulders (which surprised me a little bit). Not enough troops to secure the borders? This guy scotched Plan B by disbanding the Iraqi military when our military figured we could leverage them into securing their borders and cities in an orderly fashion. Not exactly the guy I need to see commenting on the lack of manpower, when the manpower that does exist would strangle him on sight if they saw him in a dark alley.
