07/14/2003 Archived Entry: "I told you so..."
I've been thinking about writing an "I told you so" entry about Iraq. The US has failed to find weapons of mass destruction and it's started to backpedal on most of the claims it made last winter and fall. But martinb has beat me to it. So instead of re-writing his post, I'll just link to it. Lies, Damned Lies and Justifications for War.

Remind you of this at all?
Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.
George Orwell, 1984
