Round and round we go...

...where the rhetoric will settle is anyone's guess (link includes bonus Orwell reference!):

OK, let’s count the left’s pivots on Iraq and war in the Gulf over the last 20 years:

• It was wrong for George H.W. Bush to have left Saddam Hussein in power.
• Regime change of Iraq under Bill Clinton: Good!
• Regime change of Iraq under George W. Bush: Really, Really, Really Bad!
• It was wrong for George W. Bush to have removed Saddam Hussein from power.
• General Petraeus under George W. Bush’s command: General Betray-us.
• General Petraeus under Barack Obama’s command: help us Obi-Wan Petraeus, you’re our only hope!

The real trouble is that to have a consistent position requires principles... something in short supply on both sides of the aisle in D.C.
