Really, What Is It With These People?

I swear to God, the anti-Iraq War people won't let it go. They are so invested in their position that any remotely related topic becomes an opportunity to take a shot at the war. And it is almost always an uninformed shot.

Here's the AP on former French President Chirac's pending trial:

After years of claiming presidential immunity to avoid legal proceedings, Jacques Chirac is finally facing a court.

The former president, a bugaboo for George W. Bush during his rush to war in Iraq, on Monday becomes France's first former head of state to go on trial since its Nazi-era leader was exiled[.] [emphasis added]

A rush to war? The war against Saddam Hussein's regime was perhaps the most telegraphed war in human history, yet to this day it is called a "rush" to war by war opponents.

Get over it dude. We inconveniently tossed out a genocidal, expansionist, thug regime and stayed the course despite the depravity of our enemies who resisted our efforts and the chorus of retreat mongers who wanted to rush to the exits.

Food for thought in the the rush to we'll-pretend-it-really-isn't-war in Libya by the compassionate class.

Oh, as for the Chirac trial? Couldn't happen to a nicer worm. I think it must really stick in the craw of war opponents that the corrupt ruler who kept France out of the Iraq War will go on trial and the idealistic liberator of Iraq is free.
