We were right!

[mzmolly]

We were right about the WMD's

We were right about Bush's lies

We were right about the impending Quagmire in Iraq

We were right about a war in Iraq undermining the fight against terror

We were right about NOT being safer after the capture of Saddam

We were right about ... (fill in the blank)

Boy do I wish we were wrong.

[leftofthedial]

1. I told you so

is cold comfort

[mzmolly]

5. "cold comfort" indeed.

*sigh*

[leftofthedial]

8. we need to let people know we were right

maybe they will listen to reason next time instead of to conmen.

[mzmolly]

14. Republicans....Reason??

:eyes: If only.

I do think you are right, we NEED to point these things out LOUDLY.

[leftofthedial]

28. I'm thinking more of the ignorant middle

who don't think for themselves.

some call them the sheeple.

[TheWizardOfMudd]

2. Goddam Right!!!!

Not that I'm patting myself on the back for knowing this. I child could have seen it.

The scary thing is that the Bush administration saw it too AND DIDN'T CARE.

[DAGDA56]

6. The really scary thing is...

...how many Americans DIDN'T see it...and still don't.

[BattyDem]

17. That's true ... unfortunately.

I've been thinking ...

It's stressful, frustrating and scary being one of the people who saw what was happening over the last 3 years and not be able to do anything about it. But imagine being one of the people who haven't got a clue. They'll just wake up one morning to the sound of jack-booted thugs banging down their door and realize their country's gone.

Of course, they'll blame Clinton for it! :eyes:

[mzmolly]

11. Your right, they *didn't* care.

Pretty f-ing pathetic aint it?

[newyawker99]

34. Hi TheWizardOfMudd!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Pale Blue Dot]

3. We were right that thousands would die needlessly.

:-(

[mzmolly]

16. Yes we were.

:cry:

[k in IA]

4. You got that right.

[DenverDem]

7. We knew we were right, so it is no surprise to us.

The infuriating thing is the millions of sheeple that buy the lie.

[mzmolly]

9. For now... but they are awakening...

10. We will be right about Kerry winning in November as well...

That should make you feel a little better.

[mzmolly]

12. Oh man how I hope your right.

I feel like I've been in hell for the last 4 years. I also feel so selfish saying that when we have soldiers in Iraq and a people who we've killed/mamed/tossed aside.

[Skittles]

32. yeah but

Gore won the last election, remember?

[mediaman007]

13. time to return the "Say No to War in Iraq" sign in the front yard!

Bush should be reading the DU; he'd have a second term guarenteed if he listened to us.

[mzmolly]

15. Excellent Idea! I still have "Support our troops, bring them home!"

I may pull it out!

[SarahB]

18. I know

And it's sad and horrifying that so many didn't listen. :(

[proud patriot]

19. Me too

I've never wanted to be wrong more.

[The Traveler]

20. Being wrong would be good right about now ...

but no so such luck. We were right. Its been like watching a train wreck in slow motion. And I've been tryin' to quit smoking through all this ... **grin**

[dweller]

21. Wha? We were? Why? .....when/where

(blank filled in: www.kucinich.us)

Kucinich Says Transfer of Power Will Not Stop the Bloodshed
The June 30th transfer of power from the U.S.- led Coalition Provisional Authority to an interim Iraqi
government is "a hoax intended to deceive the American people into believing that this nightmare
of death and destruction is coming to an end," said Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis
Kucinich.

"There's not going to be any difference in our military posture on July 1st from what it is on June
30th," said Kucinich, adding, "Those aren't my words. Those are the words of Deputy Defense
Secretary Paul Wolfowitz." Wolfowitz made the comment to reporters last Friday, April 2, following
a briefing to the House Armed Services Committee.

"The only thing that is going to change is the level of violence aimed at our men and women in
uniform," Kucinich said. "It will become even deadlier." At least 30 U.S. military personnel have
been killed in the last 72 hours.

"On June 30th, all we will be doing is transferring power from the right hand to the left hand -- from
the Coalition Provisional Authority to a yet-unestablished interim government chosen under the
terms of a constitution written by the Bush Administration and ratified by an Iraqi Governing
Council installed by the Bush Administration," Kucinich said.

Despite the fanfare, pomp and ceremony.......jump right in

peace,

22. What a nightmare...

"Our troops are being targeted and killed, and the Administration and others in our government keeping talking about June 30th as though it's some sort of magical date that will bring this nightmare to an end," Kucinich said. "It won't. It can't. The invasion was a mistake. The occupation is a mistake. And we're paying the price for those mistakes with American lives and the lives of innocent Iraqi citizens."

What a sad state of affairs this whole friggin mess is.

"Dennis" was right.

[fishnfla]

23. Which is harder?

to have supported the war from the beginning and now have to admit you were wrong? (Blood on your hands, and the bitter pill of admitting the other side was right)

or to have opposed the war from the beginning and now wish you were wrong?

Its a killer either way. speaking from the latter group, it is harsh to have witnessed this. I'd give anything to say we were wrong.

[dweller]

24. 'to have opposed the war from the beginning

and now wish you were wrong?"

does not compute.
dp

[fishnfla]

25. about the motives and outcome

a 'cakewalk', liberators with flower-strewn parades, freedom and democracy in Iraq, Saddam really had nasty WMD's, not 649 dead troopers,not thousands of dead Iraqis,and more dying everyday

i would gladly admit i was wrong, if that pipe dream happend to come true

edit: it is the same sentiment as the original post, only poorly expressed i guess

[mzmolly]

30. Me too Fish...

I wish we were wrong.

29. Where the F do YOU get GLEE from my statement?

*cough* "SHUT UP???!!!" :wtf: UHM, I feel like I'm on the Bill O'Reilly show. :eyes:

Listen, it would do you good to read and absorb the meaning of ones simple statements before posting a lecture.

Here is the most important piece of what I said:

"Boy, do I wish we were wrong."

Gleeful? I don't think so ... Most people here knew the meaning of my "simple" post.

Further, I never trusted this Government to tell me the truth, I am sorry if your disillusioned on top of it all.

And, can you clarify this statement? What on Earth do you mean by this?!

"Take a lesson from the Iraqis. THIS is how big change takes place." Take a lesson from the Iraqis????

[alittlelark]

27. We were right.but few will know

because the sheeple listen to 'liberal' media sources that are doing all within their power to negate the truth.

If we had a TRUE free press, most of the sheeple would already know that we were right.....sigh.

[mzmolly]

31. Slowly the truth will drip out of the container and people will be forced

to recon with the horrors of this war. That doesn't mean that some will justify it no matter what, but it does mean that *rational* people who were lied to will start to open their eyes.

[Skittles]

33. do I wish I had been wrong

you bet; the price is too high.
