It was a bad idea anyway. So then this also cuts the other direction. Nearly all the Democrats who are now attacking the administration voted for the war too. And as you point out, there were lots of people who were against it even accepting Bush's WMD lies. So they can't claim they were tricked into it, and the truth is revealed that they were for it while it seemed like it would be successful, and against it when it wasn't. So we get all of them lumped into two categories: hypocritical partisan or honestly incompetent. (I'm quite sure both parties qualify both labels, though) I, for one, am shocked by this unexpected revelation!
