I know this may seem like old news to some but I believe we should never forget just how we got into the Iraq war in the first place.

A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The study concluded that the statements "were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses."

The study was posted Tuesday on the Web site of the Center for Public Integrity, which worked with the Fund for Independence in Journalism.

And when you see the current crop of Republican candidates remember that they are continuing to support the conflict and to keep our brave soldiers in harms way for an indeterminate amount of time.

And also don't let it slip your mind that Hillary was the last of the Democratic Presidential contenders to stop supporting the invasion and has never really said her vote to go into Iraq was a mistake.
