How soon we forget all the screaming and crying from the left from before the invasion of Iraq.
It's less a matter of us forgeting, than a matter of it not being covered in the first place. Based on some current topics on OSA, I'd say that the situation then is pretty similar to the situation now.
You're actually seeing The Nation quoted on OSA at the same moment that another poster is talking about the vanishing anti-war left. I'm not saying it's funny.
