oh, I love seeing these assholes defending the hated Bush. I can't wait for the general election.

Sensing an opening in his desperate effort to retake the lead in Iowa, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney on Saturday pounced on comments by former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee in which he characterized President Bush's foreign policy as an "arrogant bunker mentality."

"It sounds like something Barack Obama or John Edwards would say -- not what you hear from someone running for president as a Republican," he told reporters. Huckabee made the comments in the latest issue of the journal Foreign Affairs.

Huckabee's criticism of Bush -- and Romney's defense of the president -- could prove to be a tricky political moment for both men. Republicans who will participate in the Iowa caucus are largely supportive of the president and may be upset with Huckabee's strong language.
But the president remains very unpopular with independents who will vote in the New Hampshire primary just five days later. Romney's strong defense of the president could be a turn-off for some of them. In his comments, Romney made certain to stress that Bush's foreign policy has not been perfect.
"We were under-prepared and under-planned and understaffed," he said. "There is no question we weren't perfectly managed."
