Remember how the Dems/Lefties/"Progressives" used to say "listen to the generals"

...when they wanted a Bash Bush talking point about Iraq?

Look how they've magically changed their tune.

Noteworthy:

"If it appears rather backwards to have Congress ignore the advice of the military commander on the ground in a war, along with the ambassador and the commander's #2, now we know why the founders made sure that the prosecution of war remained the responsibility of the executive. Congress insisted on benchmarks as their own standard of progress, and the truth is that they did a poor job of selecting them. Confronted with that truth, they have chosen to ignore the men closest to the situation and best able to analyze it in favor of their own flawed presumptions.

So now it's OK to stop listening to the generals. Indeed, it's now OK to bark insults at them. Just ask Joe 'Listen to the generals' Biden."

Are their irresponsible words and actions the result of their malfeasance or stupidity?

Or is it just the same old hypocritical politics as usual we've come to expect?

Doesn't really matter, does it?

We've long since ceased being surprised at hearing and reading things like this.
