RonK at the Next Hurrah had a sit-down with Dick Gephardt in which Gephardt admitted to being wrong on Iraq. Good stuff, and well worth a read. I'd suggest that Gephardt's sin wasn't his support for the war but his rather craven, campaign-minded undercutting of Democratic opposition on the issue, and that's the part, not his personal feelings, that really matters. Nevertheless, it's great to see the guy admit his called it incorrectly, and hopefully Gep's example will serve as warning to future Democrats -- simply going along with war is not an automatically good political move, no matter what the punditocracy is telling you.
Now if we could only get a few more of these admissions...
