You know, that Iraq never disobeyed the 1991 cease-fire agreement, followed all 16 UN Resolutions to full compliance within days of the end of the first Gulf War, and that Saddam was basically an all around 'let's have a beer and watch the game' type of good guy.

Nah, I think he's talking about the
BIG BIG lie.
You know, that invading Iraq, blowing a hell of a lot of stuff up--including access to water and power for over a million Iraqi citizens--then rebuilding the oil infrastructure before restoring basic human services, letting all those weapons of mass destruction (assuming they exist, which was our primary reason for going to war since they were such an immediate threat) go from being watched by the CIA to performing a disappearing act into the hands of who knows what worldwide nutjobs, then passing the buck on a faked reason for war to an ally all made America safer.
