after 9/11 and well before we invaded Iraq there was declared a "Global war on terrorism"
Matter of fact it was Sept 2001
"Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated"

NEWS BRIEF: "Stage Set For Attack", by Susanne M. Schafer, Associated Press, The Sun Chronicle, Friday, September 14, 2001.
"WASHINGTON -- "In the most explicit descriptions yet of the Bush administration's intentions, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said Thursday the retaliation would be continued until the roots of terrorism are destroyed. 'These people try to hide. They won't be able to hide forever ... They think their harbors are safe, but they won't be safe forever ... it's not simply a matter of capturing people and holding them accountable, but removing the sanctuaries, removing the support systems, ending states who sponsor terrorism." [Page 2]
"Ending states" is a most somber and terrifying term, for it strongly implies that the Bush Administration has every intention of destroying entire nation states with unconventional weapons. And, we have them in abundance, despite the years of military drawdown by the Clinton Administration. We have nuclear, chemical, biological weapons, and scalar weapons [HARRP electromagnetic weapons] that can easily destroy entire states in a matter of an hour or two.
Just two days after the attacks of 9/11, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz warned that the United States would strike without warning into the countries suspected of planning terrorism, sponsoring terrorism. At this time, we warned that an entire country might be annihilated because of bad intelligence, a reality which occurs all the time! For the first time, an official of the Bush Administration warned other sovereign nations throughout the world that we would reserve the right to attack their country -- or attack within their country -- if we suspected them of harboring terrorists. Even though the last sentence captured our attention -- "ending states who sponsor terrorism" -- if you take this sentence away, Wolfowitz might very well have been hinting that the U.S. would surgically strike at the Weapons of Mass Destruction within the country possessing them.
