Glenn Beck is still an insane lunatic, but it was nice hearing this:
From the beginning, most people on the left were against going into Iraq. I wasn’t. At the time I believed that the United States was under threat from Saddam Hussein. I really truly believed that Saddam Hussein was funding terrorists. We knew that. He was funding the terrorists in Hamas. We knew that he was giving money. We could track that. We knew he hated us. We knew that without a shadow of a doubt. It wasn’t much or a stretch to believe that he would fund a terror strike against us, especially since he would say that. So I took him at his word.
[…] Now, in spite of the things I felt at the time when we went into war, liberals said: We shouldn’t get involved. We shouldn’t nation-build. And there was no indication the people of Iraq had the will to be free. I thought that was insulting at the time. Everybody wants to be free. They said we couldn’t force freedom on people. Let me lead with my mistakes. You are right. Liberals, you were right. We shouldn’t have.
Welcome to the club, I was wrong, too. Dunno why it took so long, but for once, you are right. Now stop being so foolish about everything else. Do what you did right there, and rethink your position.

Good for Glenn Beck for saying that, but I don’t trust him or any of the other war mongering wingnuts.

japa21
Only problem is he is creating straw men. The arguments he is talking about were rarely mentioned by opponents of the war.
Instead, we talked about how Saddam wasn’t a threat, which was fairly clear to anybody who really looked at it. Saddam wasn’t financing Hamas. He almost certainly didn’t have WMDs, and he definitely would not get involved with al Qaeda.
The Bush administration had already pretty much declared it wasn’t interested in nation building. In fact, our men and women in the military were told we weren’t there to nation build, we would leave that to others.
I don’t think we said anything about Iraqis not wanting to be free. We were very concerned about how that freedom would be used, fearing pretty much what has happened.
And most of us had a real fear that it was going to take a lot of years and a lot of lives before it was done.
So I am glad he realizes he was wrong, but, he was even wronger than he thinks he was.

Did he actually say that? Why would Saddam Hussein fund a terrorist strike against the US knowing the reply by the US would be another military strike that would remove him from power? It makes no sense for Hussein to endanger his power and dictatorship just because he hated the US.

1. WMDs (1% doctrine/mushroom cloud over NY/LA/Chicago)
2. Support of terrorists (usually generally stated, never tied to Al Qaeda, only concrete example was alleged payments to families of Palestinian suicide bombers)
3. Violations of the 1991 cease fire agreement
Then it was retconned to include “spreading democracy” and occasionally the “flypaper theory”. Sometimes his prior crimes against humanity would be raised, particularly against the Kurds.

I don’t think you should do that because it’s a waste of time (it doesn’t matter to the story they created) but the “Susan Rice Talking Points Scandal” was a dead end from the start. They chased after nothing. All of them.
I don’t know what happened there. I wouldn’t fall over dead from shock if I found out the CIA or the Administration or the State Department hid something or other, but I for one have no idea what they might have hidden based on what Susan Rice said. There is just nothing in that interview, and that’s what the whole thing is based on.

Israel funded and encouraged Mujama Al-Islamiya in the 1970s, registering the group as a charity and helping them set up a university, along with clubs and schools at the elementary and high school level.

I think they conduct everything like campaign journalism now, like it fucking matters if Rice didn’t do a “good job” explaining or something. She revealed next to nothing. She’s not running for the Senate. We’re not measuring her ability to make credible or persuasive statements. We might be, but that has to go somewhere. It’s like they ended up with “Susan Rice comes off as untrustworthy so therefore won’t capture Pennsylvania’s electoral votes”

Lots of people have pointed out that Rice had crossed McCain long before Benghazi–e.g.:
“Rice’s put-down of Clinton was tame compared with her portrayal of McCain during 2008, which no doubt contributes to McCain’s hostility toward her today. She mocked McCain’s trip to Iraq (“strolling around the market in a flak jacket”), called his policies “reckless” and said “his tendency is to shoot first and ask questions later. It’s dangerous.”
It was Rice’s own shoot-first tendency that caused her to be benched as a spokesman for the Obama campaign for a time in 2008.”

As we’ve seen from the commenters auditioning for the American gestapo (mnemosyne, omnes omnibus, martin, burnspbesq, raven, eemom, ad nauseam), Americans in 2014 violently rebel against the prospect of asserting their civil rights and yearn for a strong tough leader who will relieve them of the annoying necessity for governing themselves.
Hey…it was a nice political experiment for a couple of hundred years. But now the experiment is over, and wannabe-serfs like mnemosyne are delighted to live in an armed garrison state under undeclared martial where (in Richard Nixon’s words) “if the president does it, that means it’s legal.”

If they had revealed all they knew and some of the attackers got away as a result the GOP would be screaming about that. Obviously by keeping the information a secret did not result in capturing anyone at the time but that is hind sight.
This is just part of the ongoing campaign that Obama is not a real American, that he wants to destroy the country and really sympathizes with the terrorists. Graham calls him delusional, Limbaugh calls him a man-child, and no one in the GOP dares to stand up (other than McCain on one of his rare good days) and denounce the birthers
