>Just "Cheney" and NYT, and CNN, and the entire establishment, sans some voices. Besides the trillion dollar war efforts went on anyway (also against Afghanistan, a below third world country that has almost nothing to do with the, probably Saudi-funded attack).

That's just a blatant, and easily disproved re-write of history. You can rag on CNN all you want for trying to give both sides of the story an opportunity to present their case, but they absolutely voiced concerns about whether or not there were actually WMDs.

I see your article, and I raise you an "Experts: Iraq has tons of chemical weapons."

American establishment media, including the New York Times and the Washington Post, were strongly pro-war. After the invasion, the New York Times even issued a half-hearted apology for their terrible coverage:

I see the IAEA expressing concerns, I don’t see CNN or anyone in the USIC doing so.

If they were loud and many, perhaps you can provide a link to a USIC member voicing concerns. Even those who were anonymously quoted about the aluminum tubes debate weren’t quoted as saying there were no WMDs.
