I don't really have much to add except that al-Maliki who was installed by the US discriminated against the Sunni population which led to conditions & recruiting propaganda for ISIS who used to be Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

I actually was in the Iraq war did 1 year in 2006-2007. I was against the war before I joined. I remember all the lies & propaganda which you mention and people calling those against the war "anti-American" or "cowards" but I actually ended up enlisting because I was looking for work at the time. 1 person did die in our unit--we drove armored semi-trucks to deliver supplies, most of the real dangers was for the TCNs (third-country nationals) that drove fiberglass Mercedes trucks but that is another story.

All of this rhetoric to lead us into war with Iran gives me a lot of reminders of what 2003 was like.
