Of course, that's how pretexts work. (I hate my phone's spellcheck!)
I recall at the time some neocons triumphantly proclaiming that the war was all Iraq's fault, because they had "failed" to prove a negative to the satisfaction of a Bush administration that was bound and determined to go to war on the flimsiest of excuses.
Still, the neocons are regularly trotted out as Elder Statesmen And Serious Thinkers, in spite of the fact that none of their wars have performed as publicly advertised.
It's a given that any neocon's kids won't be the ones getting their bodies blown apart by American weaponry in service of their geopolitical goals. Of course the same could be said of our warmongering neoliberals. Unspeakable death is reserved for the children of suckers like you and me. If this weren't the case, we'd all be living in a much more agreeable world.
Speaking of the neocons, Pro-Zionism remains one of the most anti-American things imaginable, although it's consistently portrayed as the opposite. It provided the drumbeat to the Iraqi invasion and is currently fueling the same hostility against Iran. I have zero interest in seeing any more people die just to maintain apartheid Israel's regional power aspirations.
Maybe Bill Krystol could duke it out with that hill of skulls guy Tucker had on the other day. Just beat the shit out of each other, sponsored by Budweiser. The winner gets air-dropped on the war theater of their choice. They've got it set up where their dysfunctions take out the rest of us. Maybe we should outlaw fallout shelters and see how they react.

Hubris is one hell of a drug.
Who out there will volunteer to take a nuclear blast, all in an effort to prove that Mine Is Bigger Than Yours, which is where neocons are leading us?

I hate spellcheck too! Wasn't it created by Bill Gates?
Dunno. I do know that the spellcheck on my latest version Samsung phone is a flaming piece of shit.
Wheel, my smell cake wokes jest flying.
