Has anyone else noticed the milestone?

It's okay now to say that going into Iraq was a mistake and that Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan all along.

I haven't heard a peep out of the right over this public admission that came out of that foreign debate. Can we assume now that it's conventional wisdom?

The righties used to go apeshit if anyone said anything remotely negative about bush. Now, every republican politician, rightwing media, business owner, butcher, baker, candlestick maker are constantly, publicly not just criticizing Obama...but needlessly bashing him, questioning every decision, accusing him of lies and cover-ups and on and on and on. Now, even though we're still at war...attacking the President is A-Okay with the repubs.
