Busting
As I recall, things like Shia and Sunni slaughtering each other (Iran-Iraq Wars), Israeli air strikes into other nations, war between Pakistan and India, Syria invading Lebanon, the civil wars in Lebanon, Yemen, Oman, and Jordan, murderous thugs ruling Iraq, and three separate wars of extermination against Israel--among other acts of war--were all featured long before 2001, never mind 2003.
The problem with a lot of these discussions is the memory holes I have to deal with.
You do realize that if you are right you are making a spectacularly good case for not leaving Iraq, don't you?
