Iraq war has always been based on lies...

Jason Leopold argues that those who claim the Iraq WMD mess represents an "intelligence failure" just aren't paying attention. The WMD have always been a red herring; they were merely the pretext used to justify the incursion.

After all, it is public knowledge that the war in Iraq was decided within hours/days of the attacks on 9/11, well before the WMD issue was raised by the Bush administration.
