The Lies that led to War

http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/media/lies.wvx

An excellent documentary by the CBC about how George Bush and a group of neoconservative policy makers lied to the American people about the reasons to invade Iraq.

I started watching this and couldn't shut it off till it ran its course.

Truly amazing.

The problem is that that it's all too late now to do anything about it. The time to have done anything about it was 4 or 5 years ago.

It's okay to say we (the US, not you friendly neighbors to the north) were wrong. That's a damned good start to preventing it from happening again. Thanks for the vid.

Thank you for the link, captain. It is a good overview of what we now know of the run up to the Iraq war. The last piece of this puzzle is why the Middle East was chosen for this noble PNAC ideological expansion of democracy.

I believe we will find it in the Cheney energy policy meetings with Big Oil.

Edit: It is never too late for accountability.

An interview with general Wesley Clark.
The reason for war : Weapons of mass destruction ? Terrorists ? Or "I don't know" ?

Quote:
About ten days after 9/11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz. I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in. He said, “Sir, you’ve got to come in and talk to me a second.” I said, “Well, you’re too busy.” He said, “No, no.” He says, “We’ve made the decision we’re going to war with Iraq.” This was on or about the 20th of September. I said, “We’re going to war with Iraq? Why?” He said, “I don’t know.”
Quote:
This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.
