I mean I lived through it too. So did many others on this site. And my most memorable image is of Colin Powell giving his speech about "yellow cake" to the UN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhWlPo3qxak.

You must've not sat with the old people watching the talking heads all day. Goldberg was ubiquitous. Per the wiki:

Glenn Greenwald called Goldberg "one of the leading media cheerleaders for the attack on Iraq," saying Goldberg had "compiled a record of humiliating falsehood-dissemination in the run-up to the war that rivaled Judy Miller's both in terms of recklessness and destructive impact".

Greenwald's assessment harmonizes with personal experience.
