Considering that Bush was willing to start a war based on fake news from The New York Times, no surprise!

I'm wondering if we'll have an all out public contest for worst president ever?

Was it based on so called NYT fake news or was it based on actual WMD, which were spirited across the border into Syria, and/or airlifted to Russia, just prior to the US invasion?
Definitely fake news.

I remember the head of the IAEA, Mohamed ElBaradei, arguing that there were no nukes in Iraq at the time, and no evidence of a program either. Maybe he helped sneak them out.

And yet Charles Duelfer of the ISG looked into it and found limited evidence to support it. We know he had chemical weapons at one point, we sold them to him, but there is no real evidence to support an active program after 1991, rather than simply the efforts to maintain the institutional knowledge.
Besides, this is just chemical weapons. The justifications for war involved rather a bit more than that, didn't they?

There was no justification for that war.

Oh, "justifications" were made. They just weren't very good ones.
In fact, if you were feeling particularly uncharitable, you could refer to them as out and out lies.

The Problem with the iraq war was the flawed objective, the fact that it was a distraction from defeating Bin Laden. Finally the troops were forced by the government to fight with one arm behind their backs.
Example of how war would have looked like had the gloves been allowed to come off (and how xers and Millies wanted to fight):

Did you ever get around to enlisting and joining that "military elite" you used to go on about?

Cynic Hero is a time transport from the Age of Mars.
![[Image: marspic.jpg]](http://philosopherswheel.com/marspic.jpg)
Red, -2300 to 300 CE: Mars is the planet of war, conquest and male dominance. Beginning with Sargon, this was the age of war conducted by powerful emperors. Warrior chiefs, inspired by war-gods, conquered and ruled cities and vast territories in a series of ever more-powerful empires until they were all brought under one universal empire (Rome, or China in the Orient). Although the emperors issued edicts, these were not states in the modern sense, in which peoples shared an identity, language and law and lived within fairly-stable boundaries. This Martian kind of "state" was really just the boundaries of the latest conquest. Martian assertive individualism expressed itself in the first democratic experiments in the early classic age (c.500-100 BC), and the quest for personal fame and glory. The wars redistributed the wealth and opened trade routes, breaking through the old hierarchies of the age of agriculture (Venus). Patriarchal gods replaced worship of the goddess everywhere, brought by warrior races who swooped in to conquer existing agricultural civilizations and settlements. Mars also represents iron and the skill to conquer nature by working with metals, as the stone age yielded to that of bronze and iron.
