Was that Intel legitimate?
How could all the western players get it wrong?
That was not Iraq 1. Iraq 1 happened in 1989. It was done to punish saddam for invading Kuwait. In the aftermath the existence of numerous sophisticated WMD programs prior to 1989 was amply verified.
As to the 2001 Iraq invasion, I think whether or not it was totally a false flag operation misses the point. It could well be that wishful thinking and confirmation biase made the US regime see WMD where there was none, and so the flag was not intentionally false. They may have thought a genuine false flag operation unnecessary because they fail to recognize the lack of quality evidentiary support for their cause.
But I believe that was merely a technicality. The neo-conservatives certainly thought 9-11 was a unmissable golden excuse to allow the US to rampage through the middleeast and reshape it to their liking. I don't believe they would have been stopped by the inconvenience if even confirmation biase and wishful thinking failed to produce apparent evidence of WMD.
