If Democrats are Wrong on Iraq, What Does that Make Republicans?

David Corn, the editor of The Nation answers that question with a list of follow up questions:

  • Who claimed there were stockpiles of WMDs in Iraq?
  • Who said there was a revived nuclear weapons program in Iraq?
  • Who said the intelligence left "no doubt" that Iraq posed a direct WMD threat to the United States?
  • Who said Iraq had mobile biological weapons labs?
  • Who said "we found the weapons of mass destruction"?
  • Who said "we know" where the WMDs are in Iraq?
  • Who said Saddam Hussein was "dealing with" al Qaeda?
  • Who said the United States would be greeted as liberators?
  • Who said the reconstruction of Iraq would not burden US taxpayers and that it could be self-financed via Iraqi oil revenues?
  • Who said that it would not require hundreds of thousands of US troops to secure Iraq after an invasion?
  • Who said--after the invasion--that there was no insurgency in Iraq?
  • Who said the post-invasion looting was no big deal?
  • Who said that 140,000 Iraqi security forces were trained--when the more accurate number was probably less than one-tenth of that?
  • Who said the insurgency was in its "last throes" when military commanders said it could take years to quash the insurgency?

Who was that again?
