Reply #12: I understand it and appreciate Biden's recognizing it now

[Armstead]

But I do remember how all of those who opposed this war were being told by the MSM and the the Democratic leaders were being dismissed as being foolish and naive for our objections. How Howard Dean and Kucinich were demonized for their common-sense opposition.

It wouldn't push Biden out of my consideration now. I do support Edwards, although I feel the same about his role back then too.

However, it's hard to forget how obvious a sham the IWR was at the time, how badly those who recognized the truth were treated and how little opposition the Democratic Party leadership (with exceptions) gave to Bush's plans as the war ground on.
