"In the US there is this pesky thing called public opinion-- (I believe you also have it in the UK, no?)--which means Senators and Congressmen make sure they have their constituents behind them before signing off on the little matter of a war."

For the record Ron it was the House Security Committee that identified Iraq, among others, as being in a position to pose a serious threat to the United States of America, it was not just plucked out of the air by the Bush Administration. The outstanding UN Resolutions relating to Iraq meant that there was a point of leverage that could be used to eliminate any threat posed by the Ba'athist regime in Iraq.

You have still not offered any reasonable or logical explanation to support your contention that there was a concerted propaganda campaign. If you read the transcripts of speeches made, instead of reports of what was said, you will find nothing at odds with what was stated previously in the 2002 State of the Union Address and what was said and done later.
