Conservatives deserve to lose with they are not even willing to defend blatant successes like the Iraq war. Obsessed with some pathological sense of identity that requires ‘purifying” the party, some conservatives have done real damage to their own interests by agreeing to bad critiques of the Iraq war.

Huh? You have a few nuts like Buchanan and Paul. Other than that, conservatives are the only group that still support the war. You might notice that the Warners, Hagels, and their ilk are the wobbly ones (swaying with the breeze)--and they are hardly conservatives. The RINO's are working to stab Bush on the war much more seriously than the tiny fringe of conservatives (if you can call Buchanan and Paul conservatives) that oppose the war.

I think you are largely correct. Coming from Ohio I can definitely identify with your point about the RINOS. Nonetheless, I wish conservatives— I guess in some sense neo conservatives would defend with more vigor. There seems to be some willingness to throw Rumsfeld overboard and view Petraus as the now proper strategy.

I do think taht Petraus work is good but it is the brillian response to a Democratic congressional win. Change course by upping the ante. That was shrewd and helped expose the Dems as empty suits and plummeted their popularity into the basement.
