Lest We Forget

There are lots of Google links to be found about the Iraq War now that the tenth anniversary is upon us.  There are a couple videos on this link at Huff Post, one highlighting who got it wrong (it's chillingly laughable to watch this one) and--a bit further down the page--one showing who got it right.  Conventional wisdom seems to have it that there was almost unanimous consensus on the necessity of this war, but that is simply not the case.  There was plenty of opposition from well-known people of both parties.

The list of who was wrong is more familiar, and it contains notables from both sides of the aisle.  Here's a partial list:

• George Bush
• Dick Cheney (and the entire clan)
• Donald Rumsfeld
• Hillary Clinton
• Condoleezza Rice
• Colin Powell
• Joe Biden
• Thomas Friedman
• Paul Wolfowitz
• John Edwards
• John McCain
• Joe Lieberman

The list of some notables who had it right includes:

• Paul Wellstone
• Al Gore
• Barack Obama
• Hans Blix
• Tammy Baldwin
• Ron Paul
• Dennis Kucinich
• Ted Kennedy
• Jesse Jackson
• Robert Byrd
