the real surprise to me was that anyone actually believed it in the first place.
seriously, they suddenly start throwing around the word iraq straight after 911... they were gunning for a showdown
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, said Monday on MSNBC that he’s “damn sure the Bush administration cooked the books” when it came to pushing for the invasion of Iraq.
Wilkerson was speaking to host Ed Schultz about the Republican filibuster of Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel, but transitioned into a plug for MSNBC’s new documentary “Hubris: Selling the Iraq War,” which aired Monday night.
The documentary featured never-before-seen memos by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, composed in November, 2001, clearly showing he and aides workshopping ideas for selling the invasion of Iraq. “US discovers Saddam connection to Sept. 11 attack or to anthrax attacks?” one possibility reads. “Dispute over WMD inspections? Start now thinking about inspection demands.”

They got away with it by using the "supporting our troops" campaign. When everyone draped a flag over everything, but remember go shopping! Seems they learned their lesson from the Vietnam war when they didn't have support back home.
Didn't Rome go through this same phase before it broke apart?
