The truth has flown out the window:

"Well, there would still be a structure in place which could pick up and move over, and that we would be simply liberators and monitoring the reconstitution of the destroyed economy."

--- this isn't true because we went in and disbanded the army and told the government and the bureaucratic infrastructure to go home and never come back.

"Dr. Brzezinski, we know there was a huge intelligence blunder on the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Everybody recognizes that now."

--- not true either as the CIA had huge caveats in its reports on WMDs AND Cheney had to go sit on analysts to get them to massage their data AND Bush made darn sure that the UN couldn't get their inspections done which would have revealed no WMDs.

"It's a fundamental misjudgment, and it's a consequence of a decision-making process in which skeptics, questioners, people who disagreed really didn't play much of a role."

--- I don't think that's true either. There are huge misjudgements and gross incompetence in the running of this idiotic war but the war itself was deliberate. These miscreants weren't deceived, they hatched a plan to toppled Saddam over a decade ago and seized the opportunity to launch it.

The rest is just out and out lying.
