> How does that wording that I quote or the fact that we've been in Iraq for such a long time contradict the point that "The intel didn't state that Iraq had WMDs. The Bush-Cheney WH made that misrepresentation."

It doesn't, it's completely irrelevant. Just like your opinion that that history is ancient is completely irrelevant.

> Do you agree with the fact that it's the Bush-Cheney White House who perpetrated the fraud by cherry picking and hyping the evidence, but the only nit you have to pick is with the Washington Post's wording calling 16 years "ancient history"?

You're the one making the distinction between US intel and US gov. No one else is talking about that or cares.

US gov/intel/whatever told a lie and US media amplified it. Just like the Russia gov and media did now.
