GOP Congressmen:Most Republicans Now Think That The Iraq War Was A Mistake
Anybody see this reported in the traditional media? Anywhere?
So you can mark this down as ONE MORE THING we were right about — even though these fools fought us, called us names and worse, here they are, after all of the blood and money has been spent thinking it was a mistake:
Rohrabacher:
“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.”
And if you watch the clip at the link, you see something more than an admission that Iraq was a mistake — that they had qualms about Iraq and about Afghanistan from the beginning. But standing up and saluting when their President told them to was the path taken. Which likely fills in some of the rationale for why BushCo worked so hard at their war narrative — they needed to keep their own on board to keep selling the entire debacle. Outrageous.
