William F. BuckleyWilliam Frank Buckley, Jr.
November 24, 1925 – February 27, 2008
American author and conservative commentator.

As his smooth genial personality watched over the decades, Buckley observed conservatism in many flavors. There was ultimately nothing unusual about the moment when he called on George Bush to admit the war in Iraq was lost, since Buckley had consistently engaged virtually every social issue in the lifetime that preceded it.
