As for your obvious distaste for anyone who suffers from solipsism, don't worry...I'm pretty sure your health insurance policy will cover it.  Throughout your article, well written btw, you mention a lot of "mistakes" by a lot of people.  What you don't mention is a balancing view of what you would have done.  Obama did nothing; Trump did something.  Now we have a compare and contrast situation here, but w/ real and human consequences.  Consequences that we all need to pay attention to.  (bad grammar, I know).  Saddam Hussein cranked out TONS of chem.  To include sarin...or at least the precursors to mix just before employment.  Where did it all go?  We found a LOT of it in Iraq...but the news orgs found that it wasn't up to the threshold to qualify as "real" WMD".  It all went to Syria and Iran.  We're almost positive that there are TONS of the stuff buried in the sands of Iraq, too.  We just don't know where, and no one is talking.  Bush gets a bad rap to this day, but no credit.
