2. Colin Powell sold us on the threat of them getting Nuclear weapons. It was bogus and he later felt he had been misled. This is what I was referring to as "it was a lie".
3. Those tasked with finding the WMD's felt they were mismanaged.
What we did find was not a legitimate reason to start this trillion dollar war. If our true concern was the gas why didn't we do something after they gassed the Kurds, why wait?
By the way, has the war ever ended?

For the record, in hindsight, I think the Iraq war was all wrong.
Personally I felt that Dubya was fooled by a few Iraqi academic refugees (non muslem) that the Iraqi people would embrace democracy, given the chance. Perhaps the Kurds or Yazidis might, but never the Sunni Muslims. I'd like to know what influence Bush 41 had on the decision.
And what's with these people in power? Every day another girl comes forth with accusations. Apparently Bush 41 can't keep his hands to himself!
Now we hear Charlie Rose is included also.
