Victor Davis Hanson on the Hypocrisy of the Democrats

For the longest time I have observed politicians who once lined up behind President Bush on the matter of Iraq attempting to reposition themselves as the polls shifted. I have found it lame, pathetic and transparent every time one of them tried to justify their decision by saying they were"misinformed," as if they were lied to and moved ahead as innocent babes in the woods.

If they were misinformed, they were no more misinformed than the president as all information led all to believe that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction and was working on establishing a nuclear arsenal as well. If their position runs deeper, claiming they were purposely mislead by a self-serving Administration bent on personal agendas, then they are far too naive and unfit to govern with any authority in my book.

Victor Davis Hanson points out the hypocrisy in the claims of so many of these fair weathered, transparent hustlers.

Disingenuous Party

The Democratic antiwar problem.
By Victor Davis Hanson

Why did a majority of Democratic senators — such as Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Harry Reid, Jay Rockefeller, and Chuck Schumer — vote to authorize a war with Iraq on Oct. 11, 2002? And why is this war now supposedly George Bush’s misfortune and not theirs?
