They Told You So.


Yes we did.

As usual, no one heard us, let alone gave our warnings a second thought.

We were at best a "focus group," according to the Commander-in-thief, and leftist fringe, commie pinkos and stinking Hippies by many MSM corporate whore-talking heads.

Will we ever receive an apology? When Pigs fly...........


Welcome to Pottersville: They Told You So.:

Shortly after U.S. forces marched into Baghdad in 2003, The Weekly Standard published a jeering article titled, “The Cassandra Chronicles: The stupidity of the antiwar doomsayers.” Among those the article mocked was a “war novelist” named James Webb, who is now the senator-elect from Virginia.

The article’s title was more revealing than its authors knew. People forget the nature of Cassandra’s curse: although nobody would believe her, all her prophecies came true.

And so it was with those who warned against invading Iraq. At best, they were ignored. A recent article in The Washington Post ruefully conceded that the paper’s account of the debate in the House of Representatives over the resolution authorizing the Iraq war — a resolution opposed by a majority of the Democrats — gave no coverage at all to those antiwar arguments that now seem prescient.
