Reply #30: Even The American Public Were Aware Iraq Was No Threat

[pretty_lies]

I defy you to find anyone who honestly believed that Iraq constituted a threat to the United States. The concept is absurd.

The US has 10,000 nuclear weapons, (illegal) chemical and biological weapons, not one but three different air forces, a dozen carrier battle groups, and millions of troops under arms.

Iraq had a few barrels of mustard gas at one time.

The argument that "they might support terrorists" is equally absurd. Any country that did that would be bombed flat with the enthusiastic assistance of the United Nations and NATO (as Afghanistan was).

The same argument applies to Iran of course. Nobody honestly believes any of these countries constitute threats to the US. It's entirely about anti-Muslim bigotry, with a little help from the AIPAC brigade who claim Israeli and US interests are identical.
