We went to war. For whatever reason(s). That's ok. But what is not ok in many people's minds is our inability to win.

If Bush and Rumsfield were running a company, they would have been allowed to implement their strategies and would have been given time to succeed or fail. By now, they would havve been gone. MAybe it's not an appropriate analogy, but these gys operate with an unlimited budget and are fairly unaccountable.

That, I think, is what generates opposition.
I have no problem with people crticizing Bush. There are plenty legitimate things to criticize him about. I have no problem if with people think Bush has done a poor job. But with many of these people, it goes far beyond being critical. There is a real hatred there that has very little to do with policy and more to do with partisanship. As I said before, the hatred is so out of whack that it is totally irrational. Some of these people hate Bush more than Bin Laden.
