The Alert Reader will notice that none of the Iraq War pimps who were dead wrong ever missed a meal, and many of them got promotions, books deals, cable TV contracts, etc.
Those who were dead right were made into media pariahs back then and remain so to this day.

No specific names are ever mentioned. No policies. No statistical evidence of the scope and scale of these alleged sins. Just tiresome recycling of the same sorts of non-specific accusations and trivial anecdotes that they used to feed off of when they were Republicans.
