In context, we know now from official US government reports that all “reasons” for war on Iraq were known to be lies as they were told:

 

President Obama lied to Israeli media a week before his March 2013 visit: “We think it would take over a year or so for Iran to actually develop a nuclear weapon.” This repeated claim is a liebecause it opposes all 16 US intelligence agencies’ most current official National Intelligence Estimate(NIE – these are updated when intelligence suggests status change), all IAEA official reports from their full-time monitoring of all Iran’s nuclear material and plants, and several definitive official US reports, all while Mr. Obama and other war-mongering liars provide zero evidence to support this claim. This follows a long history of such lies.
