Wolcott sums up

Not only Roger Simon, but also that blogmonkeys at the Corner, Instacracker, and many other winger blogs -- what many of us have had on our minds:

...a subset of bloggers who day-in, day-out bash the UN (particularly over the "oil-for-food" scandal") while saying damn near nothing about the billions of reconstruction money lost or stolen in Iraq and the sweetheart deals for companies like, yes, Halliburton; who dump scorn regularly on the ACLU and minimize the brutalities at Abu Ghraib; who pull that "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, it left me" shtick (or its cousin, "When I was young, liberalism meant this [fill in blank with noble cause], and now it means this [fill in blank with outrage du jour]; who accuse those who don't share their righteous urgency of "not getting it" or having "a pre-9/11 mentality;" who trash Juan Cole but never make a peep about Daniel Pipes or David Horowitz; the sort of blogger who even at this late date kvetches that the MSM is withholding the "good news" about Iraq

And then it gets even better:

Even if the War on Terror is the only policy of Bush's you passionately supported and still stoutly defend, you fucked up bigtime. Because, because leaving aside the ghastly loss of lives, the wrecking of our military, and the destruction of so much of Iraq's past and present, the true beneficiary of the war has been one of Iraq's neighbors. As the Juan Cole you relish despising recently declared, "The Iraq war is over, and the winner is...Iran."

Go read the whole thing, it's terrific, like he's a professional writer of something.
