Two GOP congressmen say most Republicans on the Hill now believe the Iraq war was a mistake, and "more than half the Republican caucus" believes the way in which the US entered the Afghanistan war was also a mistake.

Reps. Tom McClintock (R-CA) and Dana Rohrbacher (R-CA) made the comments at a discussion panel at the Cato Institute on Thursday.

Going into Iraq "was a mistake because I thought we had to finish the job in Afghanistan," Rohrbacher told the panel, echoing a popular Democratic talking point at the time.

The past simply does not exist for these creatures..

4. "Everyone agrees it was a mistake to vote against healthcare"

Give em another eight years and they'll be saying this.

7. And Social Security...

and Civil Rights, and the 8 hour workday, and Glass-Steagall, and women's suffrage, and child labor laws, and meat inspections, and (need I go on?)

5. War Crime$ and profiteering are somehow synonymous with "mistakes?"

11. Was no mistake, it was a deliberate lie and fraud that killed a whole lot

of innocent people for no reason other than Bush's ego and Rove's insanity.
