And I don’t just mean Iraq War II.
A friend wanted a list, so I whipped one up real quick.
Gulf of Tonkin 1964: McNamara knew it was a mistake before LBJ used it as an excuse to escalate. Daniel Ellsberg’s firsthand account from inside the Pentagon:
Gareth Porter says Mac kept the truth from LBJ:
Cold War’s End 1988-1991: CIA so busy lying about Soviet power under Casey and Gates, they missed the USSR’s fall.
Iraq War I: 1990-1991: Lied about Iraqi preparations to invade Saudi, Iraqi forces murdering babies.
Kosovo: 1999: Lied about 100,000 Albanian Muslims slaughtered by Serbs.

Iraq War II 2003: Lied that Iraq was making WMD, including nuclear weapons, was allied with al Qaeda.
Somalia 2006: The Islamic Courts Union government was not truly in league with al Qaeda as claimed.
Libya 2011: Lied that there was an impending genocide in Eastern Libya.

Syria 2013: No Slam Dunk on al Qaeda false-flag sarin attack, they finally admit much later.

Iraq War III 2014: Yazidis on Mt. Sinjar did not need rescuing.

Yemen 2015: Not really bad intel, but notably knew war would be “long, bloody and indecisive,” launched it anyway, just to “placate the Saudis.”
Iran: Hasn’t led to war yet, but they’ve been lying for years about Iran’s intent and actions to make nuclear weapons, which never existed.
CIA did finally admit this was so in 2007.
Older phony casus belli:
1812: Impressment of sailors was the excuse when the Democrats really just wanted to seize Canada.
1846: Mexico: U.S. invaded, called it defense from the Mexicans.
1861: Civil War: Keeping Ft. Sumter open after South Carolina secession was a provocation. (Everyone’s got a different opinion about this one.)
1620-Current: Indian wars: Paid Napoleon for the land. God says we can. And they started it anyway.
1898: Spain: Remember the Maine was an accidental fire which spread to the magazine.
1898: Philippines: Must Christianize these Catholics.
WWI: Lusitania was a deliberate provocation, Zimmerman telegram threat of German-Mexican invasion of U.S. Southwest was a ridiculous joke.
WWII: Pearl Harbor: FDR Knew.
Korea: Syngman Ree’s forces’ provocations preceded Northern invasion.
