Good source from 2013 to debunk many of the war conspiracy theories.

The biggest myth is that we are fighting for some greater good in all these Muslim lands.

In fact, we are fighting as proxies for one side or the other (it varies) in their Islamic religious civil war of +/- 1000 years.

If you have to debunk “war conspiracy theories” ten years after the fact, then you can be sure that the military campaign in question was a complete ‘effing disaster.

Good article, read it all the way through.

I would add that the reason we struggled in Iraq for so many years was constant SUBVERSION BY THE LEFT. The Left not only weakened our resolve at home, but they emboldened the enemy.

And of course Obama's election was the coup that destroyed our hard-won victory.

Fake news, Washington Post pimping material.

A decade later and the Iraq debate is still contaminated with myths...

And lies, and Bullshiit.

Reasons we might have gone to war with Iraq.

• 1. Iraqi provocation of American planes patrolling the no-fly zone. "More than 42,000 sorties were flown during that time. Iraqi surface-to-air missiles and other anti-aircraft systems targeted ONW aircrews on nearly every flight." (That sounds like 42,000 reasons to me but I'll only count it as one.)
• 2. Saddam defied 17 UN resolutions that were a result of his losing the war. (again, that should count as 17 reasons.)
• 3. Saddam tried to assassinate a former U.S. President.
• 4. Saddam was killing the Marsh Arabs in southern Iraq that we had promised protection.
• 5. Iraq's nuclear weapons program.
• 6. Iraq's biological weapons program.
• 7. Iraq's chemical weapons program.
• 8. Saddam's extensive cooperation with terrorists.

This probably doesn't count but... the 600,000+ people Saddam had killed

The WMDs Assad was using recently could be the ones the Russians took there at Saddam Hussein’s request for safekeeping.

The Bush administration gave 17 reasons for the war.

Dude, this is straight out of the globalist propaganda factory... don’t you know what Foreign Policy magazine is?

It’s a big time CFR publication founded and edited by a big time Clintonite.

The fact that they’re trying to debunk alleged myths ought to tell you that there’s more truth behind those alleged myths than they ever want you to know.
