LOL, in one breath you say even Powell was fooled...while simultaneously citing  all these different sources that knew better.  They ALL knew better, just that when things went south they claimed they were misled (and it's sort of THEIR JOB not to be  misled).

Invading Iraq and building a nation are two seperate things. Why would he campaign on nation building in Iraq during 2000 when he hadn't even mentioned invading the damn place, yet?

Why would you even want to build a nation in Iraq when the threat was in Afghanistan and we were already involved with nation building there and still are 15 years later?
