You are arguing the toss and it makes no difference.
Whether the US government is right or wrong about this doesn't matter because no one believes a word the US government says anymore. The assumption now is that what comes out of US administration mouths is not the truth but merely what they decided today was expedient. You cashed in your credibility with Iraq.
Who knows whether it is true or not? There is no one who both knows and is trusted to say the truth
