Better late than never, I guess:
WASHINGTON — Rep. Tom Cole, in a candid new assessment of the state of the Republican Party, says the GOP lost its majorities in the House and Senate because of the Iraq war and calls for the party to abandon former President George W. Bush’s doctrine of unprovoked aggression....
"Experience suggests that the Bush doctrine of 'pre-emptive' war is ill-suited to America’s values, traditions and democratic institutions. It ought to be discarded."
Amazing what an ass-whuppin' at the polls will do to readjust your views about making your own reality. And about what, exactly, is "ill-suited to America's values."
