It seems to me to be clearly about partisanship for you - whether it was the original article presented here contrasting Republicans and Democrats, to the accusations you made against a Republican Administration in your follow-up posts. In particular, you asked "don't you agree that our leaders told us things that weren't true in order to justify this war?" My point is that people who weren't trying to justify the war were also telling us the same untrue things. That strongly suggests that telling us those things that weren't true was't necessarily about trying to justify the war. Indeed, I'd argue that you have your causality reversed - they weren't telling us those things that weren't true to justify the war, they were trying to justify the war because they were telling us those things that weren't true.
