Hindsight is 20/20

It must be nice to be a Democrat in the U.S. Congress right now. You voted for authorization for the Iraq conflict a few years ago. You did because you were concerned based on the intelligence you were provided. Even Bill Clinton saw Saddam as a serious threat. So the president sends troops into harms way and we find out that the intelligence was either flawed or Saddam utilized the time we rattled our sabre to move the weapons.

Now, here is the beautiful part for the Democrats, you get to completely forget that you voted for the action based on the same information the president saw. You get to say that Bush made a poor decision to go into Iraq (again forgetting that you actually agreed). You tell him to unbreak the vase that got knocked off the counter and say he's sorry.

Unfortunately, over here in reality we realize that you can't unbreak the vase. You need to either repair the vase or build a new vase. That will take some time.

Time?? That is unacceptable, fix the vase now! We will stop supporting the troops by pulling their funding! No, that's not unpatriotic to pull the rug out from under the troops! How dare you say that! We support the troops just not with money and equipment.

Was the war in Iraq the right thing to do? Doesn't matter, the vase is broken now. It must be fixed. It is our responsibility because as in the little shops - You break it, you own it.

Hey Democrats, STOP trying to put our troops in more danger by removing their funding and think about how to fix the vase quickly so they can come home!
