Iraq War Cheerleaders NOW PUSHING WAR WITH IRAN - Will it ever stop

http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/cheerleaders-war-iraq-now-boosting-war-iran?akid=13012.294211.TpKmA9&rd=1&src=newsletter1034908&t=13

Why yes, I have noticed that the people most eager to something-something-bomb-Iran were not all that long ago the biggest cheerleaders for the Iraq War. What an odd coincidence.
One of the most credible, effective proponents of war in 2002 was Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the former Vietnam prisoner of war who lost to President George W. Bush in the 2000 Republican primaries.
McCain argued that continuing a policy of deterrence against Iraq “would condemn Saddam's neighbors to perpetual instability. And once Iraq's nuclear ambitions are realized, no serious person could expect the Iraqi threat to diminish.”
