The Disappearing Iraq Supporters

++Paul Krugman writes this morning that the Iraq flap over Jeb is terrific because we need to have that debate--finally.

++TPM thought they would get the opinions of the war architects but found them wanting. It's the bad intelligence , you know. The writers found that they had run for the hills. 

++Chris Christie and Pyush Jindal came out yesterday for the Iraq War. Christie also had no problems with the NSA surveillance program and said that only "civil rights extremists" were concerned.

++Michael Gerson writes an op-ed on how the Republicans should answer the Iraq question. The piece in the Washington Post is worth reading for the comments that are devastating.

++Rachel Maddow had a segment on her show that showed the Iraq War was not the consequence of bad intelligence, just bad policy making.

++Peter Beinert at the Atlantic has a piece about why you should not ask Republicans about the Iraq War.

++Gerson and James Woolsey blames it all on Obama.

++Over 70% of Republicans believe the Iraq War was a mistake. Pretty costly one.
