    It happened in 1990, the first Iraq war. Iraq invaded Kuwait and we “liberated” their oil.

    The second Iraq war, after 9/11, was caused by Netanyahu convincing us that there were weapons of mass destruction and Iraq was a clear and present danger to regional safety, despite no credible evidence of WMD or ties to the 9/11 events.

    Yes, Netanyahu was the influencer behind both Iraq and Iran.
