this is going to piss off all those scorched-earth GOP neocons. Good for him. That move took balls. That's the George Bush I voted for. Summa you moderate GOP types ought to come out of the closet and help heal the wounded (or forgotten) left wing of this party so it can fly like the Eagle that it used to be. Call it a parting shot (or a parthinan shot) to Colin, whatever you want, but, as Erc points out, it's the right thing to do. And GWB is showing the world a huge pair. No wonder he walks with such a cocky swagger. With a huge pair like that dangling, you'd walk funny too. 
FOUR MORE YEARS
Actually,
Its neocons like me who have been asking for more aid to the Middle Eatern friendlies all along.
Its neocons like me who complained the loudest about the slow pace of reconstruction in Iraq and Afghanistan (see: N. Gingrich).
Its neocons like me who didn't need WMD or some other self interest based justification to remove a totalitarian thug.
We are the moderate wing of the party. We are the liberals on economics, rejecting the harsh laissez faire of the hard right. We are also the moderates on foreign policy, rejecting the traditional (and cold) realpolitik of the Scowcroft-Baker wing and the hysterical isolationism of the Buchanan right (if he can even be called right anymore). The Rockefeller wing is not the moderate wing, just the self centered wing that does not believe in their responsibilities to the less fortunate among us and the less fortuante around the world.
