I'm confused. Are you complaining that it's hypocritical for conservatives not to complain about this, or are you saying, substantively, that we should have done this?

According to NBC News, military sources say they had an "airtight" plan to attack Zarqawi's operation, but the administration feared that doing this would undercut their case for war against Iraq. In other words, the administration subordinated the war on terrorism to its desire to invade Iraq. Zarqawi has killed many people since then.
I would have thought that Hank would be appalled by this, but evidently not. He's defending the administration. Evidently he was in favor of the war on terrorism because it was advancing the administration, and not the other way around.
