Despite the lies we were constantly bombarded with, Iraq never presented
a threat to the United States. Iraq never had the weapons of mass
destruction that the neocons used to frighten Americans into supporting
the war. How many of them knew all along that there were no WMDs? We’ll
never know. Attacking Iraq and overthrowing its leader was long a plan
in the neocon playbook and they used the 9/11 attack on the US as an
excuse to pull the plan off the shelf and put it into action.
