The George W. Bush administration manipulated post-9/11 fears to gain support for the use of force by falsely claiming that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

Just regurgitating the old Leftist talking points. That information was around long before George W. Bush showed up and every major intelligence agency in the world had information stating that he did.

There is also zero doubt he was a state sponsor and harborer of terrorists, something else this author quite conveniently leaves out.

There is nothing to indicate the government of Ukraine was harboring terrorists or attacking Russia, etc. Putin simply wants more territory to restore the glory days of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, as he has made no secret of this desire. Hardly the same MO as the war on terror - whether in hindsight it was a wise decision to go to war with Iraq or not.

Well, to be fair, this was mostly about oil.
