So you went from "it's the conservatives" to "the inner circle of that administration" Uh, ok. Do you get as dizzy when you type as I do reading your posts? FYI, the military ratio is about 3 to 1 republican....
Here is a short list of those that served "from that administration" a couple years ago... President George W. Bush - US Air National Guard. Served from 1968-1973. Twice promoted during his service; first, to 2nd Leutenant and then to 1st Leutenant. Honorably discharged. President George H. W. Bush - US Navy. World War II. Awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Secretary of State Colin Powell - US Army. Vietnam War. 4-Star General (Ret.). Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-1993). Awarded the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Army Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Solder's Medal, the Bronze Star and Purple Heart. Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge - US Army. Vietnam War. Awarded the Bronze Star for Valor, Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry and the Combat Infantry Badge. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld - US Navy. Naval aviator. Served from 1954-1957. Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) - US Air Force. World War II. Awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses, two Air Medals, and the Yuan Hai Medal awarded by the Republic of China. Senator Bob Dole (R-KS) (Ret.) - US Army. World War II. Awarded two Purple Hearts and the Bronze Star. President Gerald Ford - US Navy. World War II. Served from 1942-1946. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) - US Navy. Vietnam War. Awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross. Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) - US Army. Vietnam War. Awarded two Purple Hearts and several other decorations. Congressman Duke Cunningham (R-CA) - US Navy. Vietnam War. Nominated for the Medal of Honor. Awarded the Navy Cross, two Silver Stars, fifteen Air Medals, the Purple Heart, and several other decorations. Congressman Wayne Gilchrest (R-MD) - US Marine Corps. Vietnam War. Awarded the Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and Navy Commendation Medal. Congressman Sam Johnson (R-TX) - US Air Force. Korean and Vietnam War. POW in Hanoi from April 1966 to February 1973. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) - US Army Reserves. Served from 1973-1986. Congresswoman Heather Wilson (R-NM) - US Air Force. Served from 1978-1989. Would you like to start one from Obama's administration or retract your statement now?

How many of those people were in the inner circle who started the war in Iraq and who created a torture program?

Do your own homework. Since you wanna play this stupid game I'm still trying to find someone, anyone in Obama's "inner circle" that served in the military.
Obama - NO Biden - NO H. Clinton - NO Geithner - NO Holder - NO At this point, I'm tired of looking. Your next post is probably going to be how great you think it is that none of them have - WTFE.

Obama did not start a war, and he is ending the torture policy, so that does not apply.
