Sobran is saying that if Clinton were conducting the Iraq war the way that Bush is now, many conservatives would be criticizing him -- yet these conservatives strongly support the policies being carried out by the Bush administration.

In other words, Sobran is saying that the Dean people would not be criticizing the war if a Democrat president were conducting it, and the Republicans would not be supporting the war so strongly if a Democrat were in the White House.

As the theologian Martin Luther said, "it makes a difference whose ox is being gored."

That, right there, is absurd on its face. Clinton demonstrated over and over again how he handled foreign threats. He would be totally incapable of conducting the war in the way Bush is.

Finally one who figured out what Sobran was saying. /;-)

Being the gorger or the gorgee is relative and in the pasage of time can and does change.

"Sobran is saying that if Clinton were conducting the Iraq war the way that Bush is now, many conservatives would be criticizing him -- "

I must have missed that part? What I do see Sobran saying is, Bush is mediocre, Ford was an "empty suit", and various other "opinions" of his, none of which are really borne out by reality, but they don't have to be, since they're just opinions. Sobran seems quite a bitter, disgruntled and mean-spirited fellow, though, I must say, and I would classify this piece as an "attack", though obviously with no real guns...
