Highly ironic that on a thread highlighting lies and political manipulation you post a claim which was promoted thru lies and political manipulation by the very same party and people.
Before there was ‘J6 terrorists’ there was ‘there are no WMDs in Iraq’.
Hint: there were WMDs in Iraq. They were removed in 2004-2007. But “WMDs” was not in the reasoning for invading Iraq. The reasoning was to enforce UN resolutions and Saddam’s continued refusal to comply with UN resolutions, shooting at UN personnel, aircraft, etc. Dems got GOP to defend “WMDs in Iraq” to make it appear they lied. When they knew at the time they’d already been removed.
They’ve been using the media as their political tool like this for decades. They just got caught going over the top with their staged propaganda.
“there were WMDs in Iraq. They were removed in 2004-2007”
Absolutely.
The people behind the war don’t even say that. They lied.
Some of those were taken to Syria and buried…
Saddam likely wanted to parade a captured American pilot through Baghdad.
