Goodness me. You need only read the output of the 9/11 commission to
understand the enormous pressure applied to find evidence about Iraq that
did not exist. Iraq had precisely sweet fuck all to do with the 'war on
terror', and rock bottom minimal weapons capability.

You were lied to. I was lied to. This war was not about weapons of mass
destruction, liberating the Iraqi people, or safety of the USA or the West
in general. Saddam was a lame duck, and the current administration knew it.
There are plenty more people around the planet doing it harder than the
Iraqis were.

I don't need Michael Moore to tell me any of that. You need not disagree
with any of that just because Michael Moore says it or wins prizes for
saying it.

F9/11 was just an artful display of very heavy ironic manipulation. There's
no need to let your beef with it misinform your perspective on the truth.
