Rep. Tom McClintock (R - CA)
Two Republican congressmen from California told a discussion panel at the libertarian-leaning conservative think tank, The Cato Institute, that most Republicans on Capitol Hill now believe the Iraq war was “a horrible mistake,” and “more than half the Republican caucus” believes the way in which the US entered the Afghanistan war was also a mistake.
Going into Iraq “was a mistake because I thought we had to finish the job in Afghanistan,” Republican Congressman Dana Rohrbacher told the panel.

“In retrospect, almost all of us think that was a horrible mistake,” Rohrbacher said. “Now that we know that it cost a trillion dollars, and all of these years, and all of these lives, and all of this blood [....] all I can say is everyone I know thinks it was a mistake to go in now.”
Republican Congressman Tom McClintock not only told the panel that “everyone [in Congress] would agree that Iraq was a mistake,” but that “virtually everyone would agree going into Afghanistan the way we did was a mistake.”
Here is video of the panel discussion:

As soon as you hear the words: “Everyone agrees that” you know they are about to tell a big lie.
Who was it that said “the bigger the lie the easier it is believed” ?
Other phrases that always preceed lies:
“It’s for the children
“Global warming is”
“Climate change is”
“We need to do this for th environment” (biggest lie in the book”
“It;s goog for the collective we..”
“We are in this togherher”
And any phrase with “we” in it when the WE replaces that Godly word “I”.
