Of of the numerous wrong headed editorials in the Sun about the Iraq disaster, this one is the most wrong headed. The premise is that because Democrats voted to confirm the General's appointment, they no longer have the right to criticize. Based on this logic, which is something that Lenin might have thought of, Republicans would have been forced to be silent about Janet Reno's actions at Waco, former Treasury Secretary Bentsen's support for tax increases, etc. etc.
