		<description>&lt;em&gt;stewarjt Says:
What, exactly what, makes those surveyed foreign policy “experts?”&lt;/em&gt;

I don&#039;t know but since one of your favs, Michael O&#039;Hanlon, was included, I guess you should be happy.

Actually, the people doing the survey made sure they had equal representation of conservatives to liberals as follows:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
The nonscientific survey was administered online from April 21 to May 22, 2008. In the survey, respondents were asked to self-identify their ideological bias from choices across a spectrum: very conservative, conservative, somewhat conservative, moderate, somewhat liberal, liberal, and very liberal. Thirty-four people identified themselves as some level of conservative, 39 identified as moderate, and 44 identified as some level of liberal. In order to ensure balance, the survey was weighted according to ideology to make the number of weighted liberal respondents equal to the number of conservative respondents. Moderate and conservative respondents remained unweighted.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So, it&#039;s looking like some conservative foreign policy experts are on-board with &quot;let&#039;s get the hell out of there&quot;.

To bad so sad troll.  Sometimes you don&#039;t get all the war you want.</description>

		<description>They invented Bin Laden.
They invented Al Qeada.
They invented Sept. 11, 2001.
They invented &quot;They hate us for our Freedoms.&quot;
They invented the War on Terror.
They invented Shock and Awe.
They invented The Patriot Act.

Who are they?
They are the enemy.
The important question is, can they be stopped?</description>

		<description>moondancer Says: 

&lt;em&gt;As I recall the stiffest resistance to the bushco disaster was the State Dept. There a number of resignations, and academic foreign policy types were at the forefront of vocal opposition.&lt;/em&gt;

Which we mostly learned about, &lt;em&gt;as revelations in a book&lt;/em&gt; like Woodward&#039;s, or other, insider tell-alls.

Not many profiles in courage, in that crowd.

It would still be informative to know which of these 69&#039;ers initially endorsed invasion.</description>
