aamusedinatxand not because it catches some of our Republican leaders saying the opposite of what they're saying now--or decrying Democrats who are saying the same thing they said 9 years ago.
I find this interesting because it does not matter which party you are affiliated with, which side of the fence you fall on in terms of support of the current Presidency and the war. What matters is that you get your opposition 'face time' in the media when you're not the one in the driver's seat. This is true if you are Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Green Party. And THEN when you ARE in power--well of course your perspective does a 180.
Politcians are all cut from the same cloth. It doesn't matter the party affiliation.

"Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?" --Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99
"[The] President . . . is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation's armed forces about how long they will be away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy." --Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)
