Yes it does, if you are making the point of an example where a government lie was used to escalate war against a foreign nation then fine. Another example is the desperate attempt to tie Iraq to 911 and provide proof of WMDs in Iraq after 911 to the point of having colin Powell lie and present false information to the UN security council to convince the world of the need to invade Iraq. This is where the crime of the administration rests.
If you think about this it really says a lot, if the goal was to invade Iraq and use 911 as the pretext for invasion why not have Iraqis piloting the planes and why not actually just find some fucking wmds in iraq. why have Saudis (US allies) doing the dirty work. For such an elaborate and incredibly risky plan of killing 3000 of their own countrymen it's amazing they didn't think of managing the simple task ff tying Iraq to the event beforehand.
