Iraq: March 2008 Archives
Happy 5th Birthday Iraq War. What a ride it's been:
Five years ago, few predicted that the Iraq war would turn out this way (except for the thinkers at my favorite think tank: Cato called it all correctly even before the invasion)
The war's supporters, like Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, issued endless false assurances to the American people before the war that 'we can win an overwhelming victory in a very short period of time.' Senator Hillary Clinton could not be bothered to read the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq before voting to send U.S. troops into battle.
With the Ship Of State feeling more like the Titanic, no wonder people are grabbing onto Obama not realizing he's a leaky and unsteady lifeboat:
First, the fact is -- the Democratic party let us down. I've never voted Democrat before, but I did durning the midterm elections because I was troubled by the growth in government spending and -- frankly -- pissed off and fed up with the Iraq war. John Kerry and the Democratic party talked a good game and seem to be a light at the end of a very long and very dark tunnel.
