This is a great disappointment.

I have to agree .. A great disappointment. The left is going to have a field day with this.

"This is a great disappointment."

It shouldn't be. In the 60's Buckley was the scourge of the left.

In 2005 he's the scourge of conservatives.

The truth is that Bill F has never cared what anyone thinks of him.

On this issue he is pointing out something that anyone would be a fool to ignore. Whoever bombed the mosque planned it well ahead of time for maximum political effect.

Bill F is just pointing out how the perceptions of Iraqi's to this incident is changing conditions on the ground.

To extrapolate from Bill's argument Iraqis are asking themselves, "I the Americans can't protect our holiest shrine. So what can they do?"

This incident has undermined a year of progress on the ground. All because a bunch of Zachawi's foot-soldiers could wander around Bagdad in stolen police uniforms unchallenged and blow up a Mosque.

I don't blame the Shiites for being POed.
