But based on faulty intelligence, and let us overlook for a moment the source and reasons for the faulty intelligence on WMDs...

If we had simply bombed weapons manufacturing or storage facilities based on the premise of imminent threat, perhaps that could have been justified.

But regime change and the botched nation building that follows has led to instability, ISIS and 100s of thousands of deaths.

Hillary Clinton went the extra mile to parrot the connection to terrorism, that was based on no credible intelligence...

... playing right into their hands for regime change to start the flow of war profits and oil.
