Where do you get that from? The opposite of telling the truth is not telling only lies.

The information about the other countries is also not entirely wrong. There is just enough false information that the majority draws enough wrong conclusions.

just not sure what "they" are claiming beyond that (or who "they" is meant to refer to, for that matter), but the comparison to iraq, afghanistan, vietnam, etc. made me guess the op was claiming that the commonly understood cause and justification of the war was false.

I think so too. That's not the same as denying the invasion.

if the invasion isn't the commonly understood cause and justification for the war then i have no idea what might be.

To me war and invasion is synonymous.
