Nope. The comparison was made between the surprise attacks of Pearl Harbor and 9/11. In both instances, there was some intelligence pointing to an imminent attack. As for the Iraq War, this was a planned war based upon spurious assertions. The Iraq debacle may be more comparable to the Spanish American War, though at least we gained some territory to compensate for our losses there and help us forget the dubious origins of that war.
