"I'll take an egotistical Joe Wilson any day over Max Boot...(Wilson) was responsible for the lives of some 800 Americans and described as a hero for his work there...a buttress of support for Mr. Wilson's credibility"

"I think Mr. Wilson did a great sevice to our country..."

"Mr. Wilson did not tell any lies in his July 6, 2003 essay"

"All this other stuff about possible inconsistencies in later publications of Mr. Wilson are really collateral issues"

"Mr. Wilson's contribution was to expose the overreach of the administration"

"I oppose the war for the reason that it has created a blind loyalty to a duplicitous government leadership"

"I do regret that Mr. Bush chose to invade Iraq on this premise ("to free 26 million Iraqis")"

A Joe Wilson apologist and a peace-at-any-cost, throne-sniffing mendicant. You're a small man after small ideas, Chuck.

"I do regret that Mr. Bush chose to invade Iraq on this premise ("to free 26 million Iraqis")"

I think it's this line that I find the most offensive. If it's one thing we've learned, it's that it is never wise in the long rum to leave tyrants and totalitarian regimes in place. Some people just can't handle the fact that realpolitik is just another term for appeasement and surrender.
