Gee, could it be because he didn't accuse President Bush of "war for oil"; nor did he accuse Cheney of creating the war so that he could profit via Haliburton? He didn't even accuse Bush of lying to the people or playing on our fears.
I have yet to see demoncrats criticize Bush's policies "so honestly". It is always on a partisan basis, it is usually of the underhanded Monday-morning quarterbacking variety, and they often center criticisms around issues of their own making, i.e., lack of intellingence agents on the ground....
I'm glad that Armitage is leaving. He's no saint, by any stretch, and in his past has worked against America's interests when they differed with his own personal ones. He also sided with Kerry about leaving MIAs in 'Nam, regardless of actual sightings.
Armitage is one of the main ones at Foggy Bottom that has made it the dysfunctional agency it is. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
When have the democrats ever criticized the Bush administration's policies honestly? I'm not being partisan--even the least volatile of them smears Bush as some lunatic, idiot or Nazi. Armitage simply lays out what anyone can see are open, honest disagreements.
