What Obama Should Say On Iraq (Interesting how the MSM now tells Obama what he should say)

Iraq is fading in importance for the public and, to the extent that it matters as an electoral issue, most people agree with Obama's judgment that the war was not worth fighting

The "most people" that respond to the polls that say the Iraq war was not worth fighting, are ignoramouses who couldn't find their own @ss with both hands.

Maybe the MSM should go ask a few Iraqis if THEY think the war was not worth fighting, or a few of the servicemen and women who are or have been involved in liberating that country from a brutal thug and his equally viscious and brutal sons.

Oh wait, I forgot - we went there for the oil... yeah, that's it.

Otherwise he will find himself in the unusual position of having being prescient about the war in 2002 and yet being overtaken by events in 2008.

Uh, so he was right about the war before he was wrong about the war, right, Fareed?

How was he "prescient"? He opposed the war. But what did he say would happen if we launched the war, and was he right?

It's like if I say "we shouldn't go out, it might rain. Then we go out anyway, and while we are out it doesn't rain, but you twist your ankle. Was a "prescient"? No, just lucky.

Even if you think we should NOT have fought the war (and I, who opposed the war before it started, no longer think we should not have fought the war), unless you correctly predicted the current state of affairs, you weren't smart.
