Has there been at least a piss weak justification for this new war? Or is he still crapping on about Iran developing a nuclear weapon in the next five minutes? At least the last Iraq war had a good foundation of lies leading up to it.
The lies for Iraq were no better. Everyone knew that it was Bush jr wanting to finish Daddy’s war. He had been making noises about it since day one January 20 2001.
It was a different sort of atmosphere. Americans, especially the American right-wing, were consuming a media diet that was 100% fear and paranoia.
Republicans and Republican voters knew that Iraq was all based on lies, and they didn’t care. And since they had enough votes in Congress, they pushed forward.
No doubt. Most of the world knew they were talking shit about Iraq, but they at least tried for a while and got their stupid Coalition together for the invasion. In the current case with Iran it looks like they’re not even trying that.

Fighting Israel’s wars is the justification

It was an easier sell because of 9/11.
Not that that made any fucking sense either, mind you.
“We must go after the Afghani terrorists by (checks notes) attacking Iraq!”

Where’s the “different” part?
