Reminder: The U.S. attack on Iraq, which sucked the U.S. into a conflict that lasted many years and cost many lives, was predicated on a continual drumbeat of propaganda from the White House that Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction". It turned out that they didn't. Flawed intelligence? Outright lying? It doesn't really matter.

Here we go again.

@lauren Well, it does matter, really. They lied knowingly, and they are doing it again. This behavior is pathological, and tRump's manifestation is of a piece with US behavior down the years.
