Changing Tides and Minds

The Weekly Standard has a great story on the hypocrisy of liberals, who thought it was cool to go to war in Iraq, at least when Clinton was president.

I recall support being pretty widespread from the late 1990s through the spring of 2003, among Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, as well as neoconservatives. We all had the same information, and we got it from the same sources. I certainly never based my judgment on American intelligence, faulty or otherwise, much less the intelligence produced by the Bush administration before the war. I don't think anyone else did, either. I had formed my impressions during the 1990s and entirely on the basis of what I regarded as two fairly reliable sources: the U.N. weapons inspectors, led first by Rolf Ekeus and then by Richard Butler; and senior Clinton administration officials, especially President Clinton, Madeleine Albright, William Cohen, and Al Gore.
