Criticism of Leadership During Wartime

I agree with what Sullivan writes here about open, candid criticism of the way the war in Iraq was/is being handled.

He ought to acknowledge, however, that a large part of the Iraq war criticism deserved to be dismissed right off because so much of it was of the "George Bush is an idiot" variety and was not aimed at the war itself, but of villianizing both Bush and America.

By not silencing or distancing themselves properly from the moonbats, the left did themselves a disservice by allowing everyone to not take them seriously.
