Some Conservatives Go Soft on Iraq

It's not just Democrats that are going soft on our Iraq mission. Today Armstrong Williams states his belief that we should get out of Iraq. Nevermind that he thought it was the right thing to do at the time. Now that Iraq has not turned into 100% of its citizens waving American flags in the streets and it has proven difficult to beat the insurgency, he wants out.

It's easy to change one's mind when a result doesn't turn out as as quick as expected, but Williams' shortsightedness is surprising. Fortunately, President Bush will not listen to a weak-kneed Armstrong Williams any more than he will listen to John Kerry or Dick Durbin.
