"A perfect storm of self-righteous, sneering smugness."

>"The invasion was going to be a pushover, they would welcome us with open arms. It would be dirt cheap and we'd get oil, too. The Iraqis would pay for their own invasion. A hundred thirty thousand troops would be more than enough. It would be over in months. The generals and the State Department were cowards and the press were traitors and the Democrats appeasers. The French and Russians plotted against us, the UN was lying through its teeth. The weapons inspectors were bumbling fools. Everybody was out to get us. You guys were right about everything...except the outcome. A perfect storm of self-righteous, sneering smugness."

You forgot the DEAD (on both sides), the cost (in hundreds of billions), the no-bid no oversight reconstruction contracts....and oh, the outing of Valerie Plame in revenge.

Worth repeating. Said with decisiveness and passion.
Gawd, they ever need to be reminded.
Instead their minds slip past this to some 2 bit slum dwelling preacher.
Because he's a democrat.
