In reply to the discussion: Tom Tomorrow's "This Modern World" Cartoon on the Pundits who were wrong about Iraq [View all]baldguy
(36,649 posts)27. I'm not putting words in your mouth! I'm quoting you exactly!
"What about the ones who became Secretary of State under Obama?"
Which one?
"The one that said it was right, and also the one that said it was right."
The fact is no Secretary of State under Obama has said that the Iraq War was right. SENATOR Clinton and SENATOR Kerry did support the war - along with 60% of the public - while the Bush Regime was lying to them and the world about the reasons for it. They both changed their position - along with the rest of the country - once the facts about those lies came to light. That's what has happened since 2003, which you oh-so-carefully ignore.
So let's not talk about tossing Sec. Clinton and Sec. Kerry in jail unless you're going to make room for 90 million other Americans.

OP
One could simply stop rewarding those who were wrong while shuffling those who were right aside.
