I was just sitting here thinking about the fact that when George W. Bush decided to invade Iraq, people of good conscience like me, called him out on it and people on the right (friends included) accused us of being unpatriotic... even treasonous.
Fast forward to today where everyone pretty much now agrees that the invasion of Iraq was EXACTLY what we were all bitching about back then: a waste of money, it destabilized the region, it cost us a friggin' fortune for little return, and mired us into decade of babysitting a country ill-equipped to rule itself post-Saddam.
I'd just like to know when I'm going to get an apology from the right?
Also occurs to me we'll be having this same conversation in 8 years about Trump.

Agree with you. What a waste of money that was but i want an apology from BOTH sides since they both voted for that crap. They wanted revenge for 9/11 and tasted blood.
Colossal waste of money and lives though.

I agree with you, but let's be real, most people on the left voted for it because they if you didn't you were publicly outed as unpatriotic. That doesn't get you re-elected.
But yeah, some people on the left stood their ground, and damn the consequences.

It's "disgraceful" when an illegal kills someone but he's dead silent on home grown terrorism and the 12 school shootings that happened in January.
