"I was wrong"
Finally, a leading Democrat admits what we’ve known all along. Too bad we had to wait nearly 3 years for some honesty.
It was an op-ed opening with a rare, “I was wrong.” The author was former senator and candidate for vice president, John Edward, writing in Sunday’s Washington Post.
“Almost three years ago we went into Iraq to remove what we were told — and what many of us believed and argued — was a threat to America,” Edward related. “But in fact we now know that Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction when our forces invaded Iraq in 2003.

well you know what im mexican. so of course i am a democrat. This is absolute bullshit. Also it is a proven fact that poverty causes genocide. This happened in germany so it will happen here in the US if we go into too deep of a recession.
I would just like to say that i am mexican and therefore i am a democrat and therefore this is bullshit. Also it is a proven fact that poverty causes genocide. It happened in Germany and it will happen here. All the white people are going to kill all the latinos just like the Nazis killed the Jews.
John Edwards is just another soft, pandering, lying, bullshit politician. He’s no different from the rest. And this is not in response to what he was saying (though throughout the campaign for President, he supported the war, I believe). But that’s neither here nor there.
Just look at his face.
It looks like a smarmy politician from a bad TV movie.
Fuck Edwards…and fuck Republicrats….two sides of the same corrupt coin…
