Iraq War suporters: wrong every step of the way

warBy VictorM: All the people we now hear saying the surge is the right thing, or this or that strategy is now the right one, are the same people who were wrong all along. They have no credibility now. And their predications about the consequences of leaving or staying and what might happen to Iraq are thrown away ideas because if there's one thing they have proven over the last 5 years is that they where wrong every step of the way.

As Glenn Greenwald points out:
[A]according to [Senator Kit] Bond, we (by the way) had the "wrong plan" for the last three years as we waged war in Iraq. That's all -- we just spent the last three years waging war with the "wrong plan." But no worries, because now -- Bond assures us -- we have the right plan.

That being the case, one would expect that Kit Bond spent the last three years protesting our war strategy, lamenting our lack of progress, and demanding that we change course. Needless to say, he did exactly the opposite. While he now claims that the last three years were a failure because we had the wrong strategy, Bond -- like the vast, vast majority of the Republican Party and war supporters generally -- spent the last three years telling Americans that we had the right strategy and were winning in Iraq, while attacking and demonizing those who suggested otherwise.
Anything these people say, let's do the opposite. Really, we'd be so much better off.
