This should have happened in 2001 when the US tried to strongarm support for it's invasion of Iraq under false pretenses.

To be fair the year for that was 2003 not 2001.

2001 is when we invaded afghanistan in response to 9/11. 2003 is when we lied about WMD and invaded Iraq to finish the job George hw bush failed to do in the first gulf war.
