RNC homepage exposes "Dems support invading Iraq"
Dems Once Opposed Saddam
The Republican National Committee has an excellent video--available at the homepage--with clips of various Democrats, during both the Clinton and Bush administrations, arguing about the menace that Saddam Hussein posed. With most Democrats now claiming that they would have been on Saddam's side all along if only that evil genius George W. Bush, that idiot, hadn't led them astray, it's worth reviewing. It's especially hard to credit the notion that BUSH LIED!!!! and fooled Madeleine Albright, Bill Clinton and Sandy Berger all the way back in 1998.
Michael Barone notes:
The Democrats who are peddling the Big Lie of "Bush lied" are doing so either (a) deliberately to injure the cause of the United States and of freedom in the world or, as I think, (b) with reckless disregard of whether they injure the cause of the United States and of freedom in the world. What they are doing may suit their political needs, but it hurts our country.
It's hard to see, though, how the Dems' retrospective pro-Saddam position suits their political needs, other than the need to appease the Angry Left base, a portion of the party that arguably is aiming for (a).
