Of course, this is the day...

...they said would never come. As we observe a full year of continuing combat in Iraq, Change For America's Mark Sundeen reminds us of claims made, promises broken...

"Dick Cheney, who last week questioned John Kerry's credentials on foreign policy and national security, last year hastened the war with these words: "I think it will go relatively quickly, ... (in) weeks rather than months."

"Rumsfield sold us the same bill of goods: "It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."

It's kind of amazing that these profiteers and buffoons are permitted any credibility at all. I don't, in fact, think that they are so patently stupid that they actually thought that Iraq could be conquered, pacified and converted to democratic governance in weeks or months.

Nope, I just think they're liars.
