His killing would in no way stop or change the imminent attack if this were true but ensured, the one thing it did do was create the now premise there
are imminent attacks being worked out by Iranian military and proxy military. And it is likely global.
I'm not one to believe he was working with Iraqi forces to de-escalate the tensions in Iraq because if it is true he was in control of Iran military, the embassy
wouldn't have been attacked and there would have been a better peace already. If all is to be believed he had control of Iranian forces. There would also be
none of the intimidation of US military we've seen from the Iran military over the last several years. It could be true but it doesn't really fit the puzzle well.
As for the invasion of Iraq built on lies - GWB did lie, he lied often about the connection between Iraq and Bin Laden. He lied about WMD and the imminent
attack by Hussein on US instillations and on US soil. He lied about the Yellow Cake from Africa and the Aluminum Rods needed to create a nuclear weapon.
He put Powell up to lying to the UN with fake or doctored evidence for the purpose of war - He lied about the scientists being gathered in Iraq for the purpose of
Nuclear weapons and other WMD - he lied about the roving caravan labs moving in and out of Syria -
GWB admin didn't receive vital information from CIA that Hussein was working toward a nuclear weapon.
I would say, GWB and his thugs lied to congress and the American people to get his invasion. I may have misunderstood your definition of lying and what culminated
in the invasion of Iraq but that is as I remember it was how we ended up in Iraq. Could you provide details that would show I have it wrong.
