Had he known that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, Jeb said later, "I would not have gone into Iraq."

The propaganda from the "progressive" media has been successful in convincing many that the Iraq War was all about WMDs. It was not.

“The propaganda from the “progressive” media has been successful in convincing many that the Iraq War was all about WMDs. It was not.”

What else was it? That was pretty much the whole enchilada in Colin Powells UN presentation. WMDs, and we aren’t taking a chance on another 9/11.
There were much better reasons to attack the Saudis IMO.

Whatever the Iraq war was supposed to accomplish, this is what it accomplished in reality:

It empowered Iran, by ousting their principal foe - Saddam - and replacing him with a government run by Iran-allied Shiites.

And no, it wasn’t Obama who put the Shiite gov’t into power, it was the Bush administration.
