Plain Talk: Scott Walker, you're just wrong about invading Iraq

[Ellipsis]

It's hardly news anymore, but our friend slippery Scott racked up a couple more “false” ratings from the fact checkers at the nonpartisan PolitiFact website in recent days.

They were the 37th and 38th verdicts of “false” given to various claims and statements by Wisconsin’s part-time governor and full-time presidential candidate when PolitiFact took a closer look at what Walker said. They go along with 10 absolute worst “pants on fire” ratings and another 20 “mostly false” verdicts.

That compares to PolitiFact finding 16 “true” statements and 29 “mostly true.”

But none of PolitiFact’s findings rank up there with Walker’s comments a few days ago that any president from either party would have made the decision back in 2002 to invade Iraq. When asked on national TV — like all the GOP candidates were last week — whether he would have invaded Iraq knowing what we know now, he said it’s “safe to say” he would not have invaded.

1. Easy Question

"Knowing what we know now?" Seriously? Obviously, the question was just asked to see if any of the Republicans would repudiate the decision of their great "wartime president." They won't, of course, but it's interesting to see how they shade their answers, because they know the citizens realize it was a huge mistake, so they need to kind of admit that without using words like "mistake" or "huge gigantic idiot brain malfunction."
