The headline of the New York Times piece was breathless: “Iran Dominates in Iraq After U.S. Handed the Country Over.” The content was only slightly less so:

Ever since the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, we have been hit with a multiplicity of bromides, myths, falsehoods, and deceptions by U.S. officials and the mainstream media.
“Saddam was coming to get us with his WMDs.”
“Mushroom clouds were going to start appearing over U.S. cities.”
“The troops in Iraq are defending our freedoms.”
"The troops are bringing freedom and democracy to Iraq.”
