What's happened, happened.

That's America for you. There is no mainstream discussion about the cause of what is happening in Iraq is the direct fault of America and the Bush Administrations criminal war. You hear "Let's not dwell on what happened and look at what we should do now." This is far beyond anything Santayana could conceive. Every Republican still in Congress supported the War to the very end, and still do.
So instead of looking at this enormous blunder, these idiots are brought in to tell us what Obama is doing wrong.
Willful amnesia and ignorance at the highest levels.
Why is it impossible to say that America made a colossal mistake and name those responsible?

And both were very critical once the War started.

(they allowed politics to overcome reason when they voted)

The Repugs on the other hand still lie about it.
