I have a feeling that this article is going to be replaced very soon, as this site does not archive these opinions (precisely why I paste the whole articles, while still linking and giving credit to the author and site). But, since Interference.com looks down on that now, if the above link no longer works, click here.

Conservative media pundits revel in their "personal responsibility" and "stand up like a man" mantras. But when the spotlight shines on one of their own, they quickly become the epitome of the lame stereotypes they have long perpetrated of the whining, sissy-boy left, blaming everyone but themselves for the problems that ail us.
Case in point: After days of silence on the abuse by American soldiers of Iraqi prisoners and the detrimental affect it will have on U.S. national security, the conservative National Review ran a piece online by Jonah Goldberg, trying to offer us some "context" for these crimes.
In Goldberg Land, who do you suppose is to blame for the abuse and the ensuing public relations disaster? Was it the president, for taking us to war based on false claims about weapons of mass destruction, incurring the wrath of Muslims in the region and thus opening us up to even more hatred and violence should something like this abuse occur? Was it Donald Rumsfeld, for doing the war on the cheap, allowing the command to break down, leaving many tasks to civilian private contractors who could operate without any authority and covering up reports of wrong-doing from Congress?
