Dem's Lied, People Died!

John W. Lillpop over at Basil's Blog has a list of statements by prominent Democrats and liberals that prove that their plans to investigate the "faulty intelligence" that led up to the war in Iraq are nothing more than grandstanding. Sen. Harry Reid has said "We are going to look on how the intelligence was manipulated prior to going to war".
Now that the bipartisan Iraq Study Group has issued it’s report, there seems to a pandemic of “selective amnesia” among Democrats concerning the genesis of the Iraq war.
Here's a list of names he cites: Madeline Albright, Sandy Berger, Barbara Boxer, Robert Byrd, Wesley Clark (Saddam's Defense Attorney!), Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Tom Daschle, John Edwards, Dianne Feinstein, Harold Ford, Dick Gephardt, Al Gore, Bob Graham, Tom Harkin, Jim Jeffords, Ted Kennedy, John F. Kerry, Tom Lantos, Carl Levin, Joe Lieberman, Barbara A. Mikulski, Patty Murray, Nancy Pelosi, Scott Ritter, John Rockefeller, Arlen Specter, Henry Waxman, and last, but not least, Jacques Chirac.
There are pre-war quotes from every one of these individuals making various assertions about whether Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, used them against his own people, and whether he was an imminent threat to the United States. Will Harry Reid's examination of pre-war intelligence go as far back as the 1990's? Somehow I doubt it.

Charles responded with: Correction
 | Ramsey Clark was Saddam's defense attorney. Wesley Clark was commander in chief of NATO during the Yugoslav war.
However, you are certainly correct in whacking the dems for falling over themselves to outhawk repubs following 9/11. |
Perri Nelson responded with:
 | You are correct. Sorry I got the two confused. |
