An interesting exchange between occurred today between Congressman Tom McClintock and Congressman Dana Rohrbacher during the Cato Institute’s forum Escalate or Withdraw? Conservatives and the War in Afghanistan:
Rohrbacher: “I will say that the decision to go in, in retrospect, almost all of us think that was a horrible mistake. …Now that we know that it cost a trillion dollars, and all of these years, and all of these lives, and all of this blood… all I can say is everyone I know thinks it was a mistake to go in now.”
McClintock: “I think everyone [in Congress] would agree that Iraq was a mistake.”

So… what? They didn’t think so when Dick and Bush told them not to?
So what? Hindsight’s a wonderful thing. Sanctimony in those practicing it? Not so much.
So, it was such a mistake that you voted for dubya AGAIN in 2004? If you say you didn’t think it was a mistake as early as/as late as 2004, you are either blind, deaf, and dumb or lying, and if you are lying, you put partisanship ahdead of U.S. and Iraqi citizens very lives. Morons.
