Since when does the US care about the truth before going to war?

The 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, that got us into Vietnam, was based on false reports.

In 2002, The 2nd Iraq War was based on fabricated intelligence reports that Saddam Hussein was allied with al Qaeda and had Weapons of Mass Destruction.

In 2026, we bombed Iran on fabricated intelligence reports that Iran was six months (or whatever) away from producing a nuclear bomb.

The United States military runs on lies. They're gonna love AI.

Iran has been 6 months from making a nuke for like the last 30 years.

This was not AI’s fault.

That was sheer incompetence up to the very top levels of the US army.
