"the government" didn't lie about Iraq. That was the doing of a discrete and rabid neocon faction within the GOP. Here's a link to who they are/were.
You forget that a group of Democrats voted for war with Iraq before running against the war in Iraq. The Democrats are all shit people dude and we are going to force you to accept it and watch as you go down with them.
You are conflating the lied-to with the liars. The lied-to may be guilty of being naïve or even feckless, but the liars are the truly guilty parties. And believe me, I'm not defending the Dems who should have known better and especially not the ones who actually did. It was still primarily a GOP hitjob.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
