“It Didn’t Work”

“It Didn’t Work”

-William F. Buckley on National Review Online (NRO) February 24, 2006 on the latest excuse as a reason for the Iraq war.

It takes the Right a long time to get it... ...right. There may be no one human other then Buckley Jr. on the face of this Earth that is a conservative and who can be reasoned with or who could earn conceding to. Buckley Jr. is a hero to both old- and Neo-conservative alike. Yesterday he wrote of our King:

“He [George W. Bush] will certainly face the current development as military leaders are expected to do: They are called upon to acknowledge a tactical setback, but to insist on the survival of strategic policies.

Yes, but within their own counsels, different plans have to be made. And the kernel here is the acknowledgment of defeat.”

He finally gets it. -Sort of. More important he has spoken out and called to the fact that the emperor has no clothes and he needs to go back to the closet. He has finally lamented what others have said years ago. He is now among those called “traitors”, “cowards” and the many who would “cut and run”.

Welcome aboard Mr. Buckley Jr., You are among respectable company.
