I think VDH underestimates support for Bush's Mideast policy if conservatives at FreeRepublic are any indication. Also, I'd never call myself a McCain conservative... ouch

I think he oversimplifies the base of support for Bush on this. Most conservatives (save for the Buchanans) do support this war and for reasons of national security, not nation building. Furthermore, the paleos are a very distinct minority.
Otherwise, a great analysis of the problem and especially so since he points out (perhaps a bit too understated) the mistakes made by the administration.

conservatives Reactionaries at Free Republic... Fixed it for you. Just because someone screams they are a "Conservative" does not make it so.

And a large number of us still support the President in what he's trying to do in Iraq.

I think VDH underestimates support for Bush's Mideast policy if conservatives at FreeRepublic are any indication. Just out of curiousity, but how so? I find VDH to be extremely accurate in his assessment.
