yea the famous 'yellow cake' speech and poo poo was 100% about nukes, then when it became super clear even before the invasion it was literally impossible for them to have actual nuclear weapons in any form beyond theoretical it shifted to general 'weapons of mass destruction' and then, yea, we found the chemical weapons we sold Saddam and they got all 'BET YOU LIBS FEEL REAL DUMB NOW HUH?'

god I actually forgot 'dirty bombs', what a stupid loving meme that was.

'uh okay so there's no nukes but what if some terrorist straps a bunch of plutonium to a big bundle of TNT and sets it off, that's basically a nuke and you can't 100% say there's no way for them to get a bunch of that stuff!'

They ran Biden in 2020 who also voted for the war but he won. Clearly, support for the war in iraq was not seen as a negative by the democratic base.

I really hate how modern animation is just composite images of different emojis pasted onto body models.

It's an animation style aimed at childen used to watching proceduraly generated YouTube videos about Spiderman and Elsa counting aligators.

Things are only going to get worse as that generation works its way through the culture.

The notion that no one knew the US was lying is utter crap pushed by willing fools and the bloodthirsty to coverup their support for a foreign war.

I think a better way to have framed the argument was that people knew the US was lying, but nobody who had any political power was willing to do what was necessary to stop the war.

That is also the much more perverse take on the situation. It is also the much more true take. Hillary and Joe, for example, have given later justifications saying that they didn't believe the evidence at the time but voted to go to war anyway. Somehow, they see this as a defense of their position?

also as a teenager who thought the iraq war was "cool" - i can guarantee that a lot of people who supported the iraq war didn't give a gently caress about the truth of WMDs either way, that was entirely beside the point; a manufactured casus belli to blow up saddam was Good. stop trying to understand a false mindset, that pro-war democrats or republicans had any interest in the veracity of the claims. they absolutely did not

The whole invasion was over the fake nukes right

there was a widely touted LOOK WE FOUND CHEMICAL WEAPONS moment but what went unreported was the stash was all defunct leftovers from the ones we sold him during iran-iraq yes

Yeah, I remember the most common argument being something along the lines of "Saddam is evil and by not overthrowing him we're letting innocent people die!"
