Apparently you didn't read Wednesday's column. Here it is (note how it is similar to Novak's column on the point of ground troops in Iraq):

U.S. forces in Iraq are insufficient for that mission; unless the civil war is quickly contained, no practicable U.S. deployment will suffice. U.S. forces worldwide cannot continue to cope with Iraq as it is, plus their other duties -- peacekeeping, deterrence, training -- without stresses that will manifest themselves in severe retention problems in the reserves and regular forces.
Since 9/11, Americans have been told that they are at war. They have not been told what sacrifices, material and emotional, they must make to sustain multiple regime changes and nation-building projects. Telling such truths is part of the job description of a war president.

BTW - I don't dispute that Will's columns are often pedantic displays of his command of the English language.

I don't like O'Reilly's show myself. I just know that it is not rare for him and other conservative commentators to criticize GWB and other Reps.

You are missing yet again another Rep who is willing to criticize the current Rep administration.
