The Utter Hypocricy of the "Anti-War" People [View All]

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

Reading DU, you'd think that the War Against Iraq started with the Iraq War Resolution. Swept under the rug is Clinton's and the Democratic party's War Against Iraq for 8 straight years, bombing civilian infrastructure, sanctioning and starving the population, and making Saddam even stronger and more brutual by isolating the entire country.

This sounds like utter hypocricy to me - the War Against Iraq was just fine, unless the Republicans can pick up political points for it - then all of a sudden we are anti-war?

If Clinton had invaded Iraq - like he wanted to, and attempted to get support for - would DU be up in arms about it? If we beat Bush, and our Democratic candidate decides to "get the job done" in Iraq, and occupy the country for years, will there be the same "anti-war" anger and passion?

As a cynic, it seems to me the major opposition to the War Against Iraq from DU is the fact that Bush is getting the political points for it.
