Tom's correct downthread to point out that what the Wingers are furious about is that Bush isn't being belligerant enough. Bush backed America into a corner commiting the majority of our power to Iraq, and now can't do much else besides try diplomacy (god help us), but to the Right that looks too much like what a Democrat would do. Down near the end of that article is a whole bunch of nasty Winger rhetoric damning Bush for being like Kerry.
Even if Bush looks like he's finally pursuing a smarter course, it's too late. It's been said that "war is diplomacy carried on through other means", but that clearly is based on the notion that diplomacy comes first. After having skipped the diplomacy and gone straight to war, Bush isn't in a position to do it over; diplomacy is much harder after you start a war than before.
