public support for this farce of a war has been collapsing.
i am sure that even conservatives are aware of this because for the numbers to be true, support is necessarily eroding amongst their number as well.
i haven't got time right nwo to hunt up recent polling numbers, but i remember support being at about 35% in the most recent i have seen--but i could be wrong about the exact number.

what is clear is that support for bushwar is a minority opinion at this point.

as for the article at the outset of the thread:

what is most interesting in the article is that a conservative actually simply stated the facts of the matter--that the reasons for the war were--well--bullshit--and drew the obvious conclusions rather than trying to figure out another way to remain a loyal bushperson despite the implosion of the administration's claims.

so while walter jones was in fact a total asshat, to quote ustwo, in his role as the guy who struck a blow for "freedom" everywhere by trying to blame the problems with the bushcase for war on france and even more for directing his "critique" of france through the naming of deep fried potato strips--he was not much different in this from any other conservatives, many of whom confused richard perle with someone credible and informed and followed his idiotic lead in blaming france for the fact that the bushcase for invading iraq was worthless--

but it turns out that this particular asshat is more honest in confronting evidence about the rationale for war than most others of his political persuasion.

i would think this would give conservatives pause.
