The Iraq invasion architects as a group are just plain dumber than an average sampling of the population.

Wolfowitz, who is still smarter than Doug Feith, who is actually dumber than most house pets, magnificently said:" We chose WMDS because that's the only thing we could all agree on"

Which clearly illustrates the decision making history

STEP ONE - INVADE
STEP TWO - CREATE A RATIONAL FOR THE INVASION

Now how imperative was this war if part of their mission was to come up with a effective explanation?

Not to mention they deliberately SCARED THE SHIT out of the average American with this smoking gun/mushroom cloud meme.

If we look at the run up propaganda from the advantage of eight years of history, it is clear all these people know they are lying as they speak. GWB, in particular, talks about WMD's and nerve gas like he was camping out with 12 year old's telling ghost stories in the tent!
