LET US STOP PRETENDING THAT THE IRAQ WAR WAS THE WORST THING EVER. Especially when, as Glenn has pointed out on numerous occasions, regime change in Iraq was a bipartisan issue from the 1990s until, oh, about the time Saddam was captured in late 2003, and that Joe Biden and Barack Obama were taking credit for Bush’s winning of the surge as an election year talking point in 2012.

Given Iraq’s current state, perhaps someone should ask Colin Powell if he still thinks you, “you break it, you own it” applies to the current administration, now that he’s an Obama Democrat.
