I've been wondering this. I've watched the GOP debates. I watch Fox news. The party that brought you the Iraq War is loathe to talk about it in any substantive way, other than some BS about how we can't "surrender" in Iraq.
In the debates they do their best to spin and dodge answering the question of whether Iraq was a mistake, or if their Iraq War has made the U.S. safer. Like the dude in the public restroom, who clogs and overflows the toilet, its like they're tip-toeing away from the mess they created, hoping not to get caught.
They followed an ill-equipped and thoroughly unprepared goofball president, down the shithole. And tied their fate to his. They lied, cheerled, and decieved for four years, to protect bush from criticism and to hide from the american public how bad things were in Iraq. They sent rightwing talk radio goons to iraq, to spout propaganda about how great things were going.
Let me call this what it is: TREASON. These people are more concerned with the public perception of themselves and their party, than in being honest about the challenges we faced from the mess they created. That is loyalty to party. Not loyalty to country. There are people around, who voted for bush twice, who continue to say that - even knowing what we know now - we had no choice but to invade iraq. Everyone here with an IQ over 50 knows this is a lie. The Dems? Cowardly, and unwilling to end the war unilaterally. Unfortunately I don't think a war has ever been ended - or started - without a bipartisan consensus. So, we remain at an impasse.
