An enlightening video compilation

Bullwinkle has an enlightening video compilation of quotes by many Democratic politicians that were made in the years leading up to the Iraq war. It's very definitely worth watching.
Quite a few people have spouted the "Bush Lied, People Died" mantra at me over the short time I've had my blog running. One rather noteable example was Sheila with whom I carried on a fairly long conversation about the war. Even with the quotes, she couldn't believe that these people were supporters of the war. She seemed to believe that they were coerced into saying the things they said.
Anyway, I've seen these quotes compiled before, and several others besides. One of my favorite references for them was John W. Lillpop's collection of them that he posted at Basil's Blog.
I think the video compilation drives the point home all the more strongly. You can hear in their own voices the words of the Democrats and Democratic staffers that pushed for regime change in Iraq as far back as 1998.
I think that's pretty powerful.
It's a shame that some of the same people are trying to undermine our efforts today. The fact that the GOP produced the compilation doesn't even come close to taking away the impact of the Democrat's own words, in their own voices.
