Telling off the "I told you so"s

Just in time for your weekend reading on the third-year anniversary of Bush's Damn Fool War™, FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting) has compiled a list of premature gloating by pro-Iraq war morons.

Even now, the smug contempt and unrestrained cockiness of these self-proclaimed experts practically oozes off the page (or the screen, as it were), which makes the whole kit 'n kaboodle look even dumber as the morass in Iraq gets worse and worse.

Herein a few select quotes for your retrospective review:

The only people who think this wasn't a victory are Upper Westside liberals, and a few people here in Washington.

-- Charles Krauthammer

Why don't the damn Democrats give the president his day? He won today. He did well today.

-- Chris Matthews

Now that the war in Iraq is all but over, should the people in Hollywood who opposed the president admit they were wrong?

-- Alan Colmes

Maybe disgraced commentators and politicians alike, like Daschle, Jimmy Carter, Dennis Kucinich, and all those others, will step forward tonight and show the content of their character by simply admitting what we know already: that their wartime predictions were arrogant, they were misguided and they were dead wrong. Maybe, just maybe, these self-anointed critics will learn from their mistakes. But I doubt it. After all, we don't call them 'elitists' for nothing.

-- Joe Scarborough

Over the next couple of weeks when we find the chemical weapons this guy was amassing, the fact that this war was attacked by the left and so the right was so vindicated, I think, really means that the left is going to have to hang its head for three or four more years.

-- Dick Morris

It won't take weeks. You know that, professor. Our military machine will crush Iraq in a matter of days and there's no question that it will.

-- Bill O'Reilly

...and now that you've gone through that, ask yourself how come these morons haven't been held accountable for their misleading cheerleading?
