Jay Rockefeller: Better off Without Invasion of Iraq

In case you didn't read the quote recently, Senator Jay Rockefeller said it was a mistake to have invaded Iraq:

"'[Saddam] wasn't going to attack us. He would've been isolated there,' Rockefeller said. 'He would have been in control of that country but we wouldn't have depleted our resources preventing us from prosecuting a war on terror which is what this is all about.'"

The lead Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee accuses the White House of misleading America to get us to go to war in Iraq:

"'The absolute cynical manipulation, deliberately cynical manipulation, to shape American public opinion and 69 percent of the people, at that time, it worked, they said 'we want to go to war,'' Rockefeller told CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson. 'Including me. The difference is after I began to learn about some of that intelligence I went down to the Senate floor and I said 'my vote was wrong.'"
