The reaction of pro-Iraq, pro-Bush policy hawks to this successful mission led by Pres. Obama is one of the more interesting cases of cognitive dissonance that I've seen in quite a while. Fascinating.

Cognitive dissonance? Nah, I think they know they're spouting a bunch of false crap.
I'm looking at that quote Dakota posted. That guy is flummoxed by having to face the fact that Pres. Obama successfully led a game-changing military mission that his hero, Pres. Bush, was unable to complete. So instead of admitting that their pre-conceived notions about Pres. Obama were wrong, the reaction is "told you so" claiming that this is a victory for the Bush approach, evidence to the contrary.
To me that looks like classic cognitive dissonance.
I think that's classic cognitive dissonance.
Well, if the choice is between assuming the writer can't see past his bias, or assuming the writer knows he's been PWN'd but set out to cleverly craft the most disparaging spin he could muster . . . I can't figure out which assumption would constitute "giving him too much credit."
Just think of it as sour grapes. It's not that complicated.
