The Democratic two step

Michael Goodwin lays out for us the evolving Democratic strategy for approaching Iraq: 1) deny that there's any connection between the war in Iraq and the wider war on terror; and 2) misrepresent history to suggest that the Democrats who voted to authorize the invasion of Iraq were really only voting to scare Saddam Hussein.

The first would be a disaster, if it ever actually became the basis of policy; the second is simply a lie.
