Yes, Iraq was a lie. No, Bush didn't know, but he wanted a war with Iraq to complete his father's legacy. Had we attacked the enemy, we would have attacked Saudi Arabia.
This event is the excuse government has used to restrict freedom to a degree heretofore unheard of. I want the whole story. I want to know if it was worth it.

Rumsfeld is the man you want to talk to. By the morning of 9/12, he was constructing a way to have this be blamed on Iraq, so we could invade. If things were logical, Iran would be our friend and Saudi Arabia, our enemy. Iran had the misfortune of finding oil and having a leader that thought Iran should have a say about the minerals found inside their borders. The audacity! We couldn't have that, installed a puppet and set things in slow motion for the revolution that came later. We are responsible for Iran hating us. No one but ourselves.
