...and he conceded that if more information had been available about Iraq’s weapons, Congress never would have approved the war.

He just disqualified himself in my book.

Agreed.

Oh my goodness. Don't accept the NYT explanation of things.

I listened to the interview; I'm sure a transcript is around somewhere.

Rudy said what the president himself has said, that mistakes were made. He didn't condemn the president and said it was still the right decision to take Saddam out.

He also said that it's easy in hindsight to see what should have been done differently and when Larry asked him what, Rudy mentioned a few things. That's perfectly appropriate and if anyone thinks that Hunter or any other candidate is going to say that no mistakes were made in Iraq, they're deluding themselves.

On The History Channel there is a weekly show called Military Blunders In History. A lot of the shows deal with mistakes made in WWII by the US and our allies. Every war has problems and mistakes made by those in charge.

From the posted article excerpt:
"...and he conceded that if more information had been available about Iraq’s weapons, Congress never would have approved the war."

Yes. Our Constitution says that our President wages war--not Congress. If we had to wait for the approval of Congress, our nation would be conquered. That knowledge is very important in regarding Iran's nuke program and leaders' statements.

Sounds like Democrat talking points!

So now it comes out that he is weak on his only conservative issue.

I'd consider the source first :)

....and, without mentioning President Bush by name...

Snort.
