Oh no, conservatives are still trying to spread the blame for the Iraq War. How embarrasing.
Most Dems voted against it in the House. Just over half of Dem Senators made the mistake of voting in favor of war. And on the GOP side, only six whopping GOPers were smart enough to see what a mistake it was going to be.
And in the years between the start of the Iraq War Mistake and the 2004 election, the rhetoric from the GOP and conservatives made it clear that to them all liberals and Democrats were de facto enemies of America. In other words, the GOP decided to take full ownership of the Iraq War.
It was the GOP's idea, they supported it, they owned it. And the negative electoral consequences that the GOP suffered since the occupation of Iraq was so badly managed was entirely justified.

Democrat Quotes on Iraq Weapons of Mass Destruction
It's funny how you guys always leave out this quote:
What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.
What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression. That's what I'm opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.

I guess that explains why he let 4 americans die in Benghazi.
The fact remains that most dems supported the stupid Iraq 'war'. They authorized and funded it, just like they did with Viet Nam where we lost 58,000 americans and billions of dollars for NOTHING.
