Stay with me on this ... it'll make sense later. I watched one of those forensics show wherein the police recieived the help from a FBI profiler in re-creating how he thought the crime happened. As the cops had a thin case, they proceeded to go out and basically select both "witnesses" and "suspects" and pound the square pegs in a round hole to fit the profiler's renactment. That's what this whole mess sounds like. Bush, Rumsfeld et al had a script and all they had to do was go out and make the people, events, ect fit ... in addition, the climate following the 9/11 attacks (even though the Iraqis had nothing to do with it as far as they have established) made it a lot easier to push the propaganda through. I even rememeber watching the news prior to the war beginning and there were a few people when asked if we should go to war respond with "Heck yes! We need revenge for what they did on 9/11!" or words to that effect.
