We should all be well beyond arguing over whether the invasion of Iraq was needed/not needed/lied about/not lied about.

It is what it is. Whining over someone not getting their way five years ago is as productive as inserting your digits in various orifices and trying to vary your internal air pressure.

Even if you make a whistling noise; who cares?

Arguing over the merits of the invasion is a classic time-wasting tactic that liberals engage in to derail discussion of the now. If you are too busy trying to justify 5 years ago, you cannot adequately debate the inexperience of a man three years removed from a state legislature who only recently spoke to a combatant commander… and even that didn’t change his stand on his unilateral timetable for withdrawal.

The end state in Iraq will be determined in the United States in just over three months. Discussing the relative merits of five year old arguments is a waste of time.
