The Iraq War was indeed a horrible mistake from the start. It was not an act in furtherance of American interests. When you consider that Iraq had nothing to with 9/11 and that we were still in Afghanistan at the time, OBL was still on the loose, it becomes an unforgivable mistake. Any candidate who is not willing to say that should be eliminated from consideration.
Bushes in charge = Lots of dead people (American and foreign).
Since when is that patriotic?
