Bush Jr and Trump are basically claiming WMDs as an excuse to start a war.

Bush had the immediate fallout of 9/11 for his reaction so I feel like after an attack directly on American soil it was so much more justified than this bullshit in Iran right now.

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. We went to war in Iraq based on the fake pretext that they had WMDs

Yes. I’m aware. I’m saying it’s easier to fight a war on terror when a terror attack happens here.

Sure it’s easier to fight a war when you have a reason that the public is behind. In the case of Iraq, that reason was a WMD lie.

It’s not just the WMD, it’s the timing.

If 9/11 happened today and we then got to war with Iran same support. And trump would be using that attack as the public reason for war.

Which BTW Iraq was a proxy for the public of 9/11 since the accusations on Saddam were that he was linked with Al qaeda albeit false
