If you know anything about Pat Buchanan you would know this has
nothing to do with conservatives in general. Buchanan ran as a third
party candidate, remember? He is extremely protectionist, and just
about nothing would satisfy him.

Precisely, the policies of the Bush camp and of the neoconservatives (is
that the PC term?) are not representative of conservatives in general.
It isn't hard to find quite a few conservatives expressing reservations
toward or opposition to the war.

Are we to believe that all of these conservatives are just "putting
forth an extremely negative spin" that "must be sour grapes?"

"All these conservatives"? Politics 101 says that Repubs are strong on
defense, and Dems are weak on it. There's nothing "neo" about taking action
to defend ourselves even if it isn't PC with countries that are either
corrupt or have a different agenda from ours.

Pick another example. Buchanan is off the far end of the spectrum when it
comes to protectionism.
