Lies? List them.

Americans were sold war based on 9/11 which had NOTHING to do with that.

Nope. 9/11 was never connected to Iraq. If you're going to continue to believe that, or if Shipwreck is going to keep linking to old Safire articles, I can't help you.

And they bought it thinking that they respond to 9/11. No they come to understanding that they were WRONG..... and that is why public support is going away....

Nope. You are repeating myth. The war was about a lot of things, and was sold on the basis of a lot of things, but 9/11 wasn't one of them.

This is reality....
Answer just one question - DO YOU THINK THAT WAR IN IRAQ WAS POSSIBLE WITHOUT 9/11? DO YOU THINK PEOPLE KNEW THAT SADDAM IS NOT LINKED IN 2003?

That's two questions.
1) Attacking Iraq without 9/11? MUCH harder. I think it's extremely unlikely that it could have happened without the overarching doctrine of going after rogue states who support international terrorism. 9/11 was the punch in the nose that showed the American people that we had been at war for years.
2) In 2003 plenty of people knew plenty of things. So what? Congress knew what the justification was about, and none of the justifications have anything to do with 9/11.
