"Iraq has WMDs" - W
A lot of us didn't even believe it at the time.
I don't know, it was pretty successful in enriching a number of bloodthirsty and soulless goons in the MIC, and helping to continue to destabilize the middle east and generate more terrorist sympathies to the west given the awful methodology employed.
It's all about perspective.
Though it's important to remember that the whole WMD thing came from British intelligence; Bush's fault was blindly trusting their intelligence or, perhaps more accurately, accepting our own intelligence's appraisal of "maybe" as enough confirmation.
