RJ....
Perhaps a check on the time line between votes in Congress authorizing the war and the time when things started going south, would show an amazing correlation between those now screaming foul and that point in the time line.
You reckon some of the current naysayers contemplated a short sweet deal like Gulf One and now that anything but that has developed....they are now embarrassed they did not challenge the decision they supported at the time of their vote.
I would suggest they see the war as a tar baby and are trying their best to blame anyone but themselves for not standing on principle. If they were so opposed to war, this war, or any war....why did they not take that principled stand and vote against it before they voted for it. Just the opposite of John Kerry who voted for it before he voted against it.
