I think the true conspiracy is by the conspiracy theorists who feel the need to make excuses for how their countrymen were fooled into supporting an invasion that, in hindsight, many more people are now pretty uncomfortable with.

You got attacked. You got mad. Made a few jokes about Islam and the French. You invaded 2 countries, one justifiably, one not. Now you're stuck.
