Glenn Beck admits that the Liberals were right about Iraq. Wait, that can't be right.
Well crap! |
Glenn Beck is admitting he was wrong and liberals were right for opposing the invasion of Iraq.
“[Liberals] said we couldn’t force freedom on people,” Beck said at the start of his Tuesday radio show. “Let me lead with my mistakes. You were right. Liberals, you were right, we shouldn’t have.”
“From the beginning, most people on the left were against going to Iraq,” Beck said. “I wasn’t.”
The talk show host explained that when a possible invasion of Iraq was being discussed, he believed Saddam Hussein was backing terror against the United States and that something had to be done.
“In spite of the things I felt at the time when we went into war, liberals said, ‘We shouldn’t get involved, we shouldn’t nation-build and there was no indication the people of Iraq had the will to be free,’” Beck said. “I thought that was insulting at the time. Everybody wants to be free.”
On Tuesday, Beck admitted, “You cannot force democracy on the Iraqis or anybody else, it doesn’t work. They don’t understand it or even really want it.”
Holy crap! And here I thought that when Pat Robertson came out against the decision to invade Iraq that it was big news.
I can hardly wait to see who next publicly devours a huge helping of crow.
Which makes me wonder if we are getting closer to a time when the nation might seriously consider prosecuting the architects of that illegal conflict.
Oh a boy can dream can't he?
