He did more than that. He, and the rest of the right wing, waged a full fledged terror campaign to get us in that war. "Saddam, 9-11, Saddam, 9-11," was basically the meat on all his speeches. We were all going to die if Sddam was not taken out. It was a full fledge lynch mob effort with the right wing nuts breathing fire and the media marching in lock step.
It was the right wing cause of the day on steroids.
