Maddow: MSNBC Special on Iraq WMD Will "Upset" Many

[JDPriestly]

79. The Bush administration could have simply and honestly

been wrong about, say the Niger documents, or say, the trucks that were moving WMD launch sites or say that Hussein was supporting Al Qaeda. Could have been wrong about one, maybe two of those things. But the Bush administration was wrong about everything. They built a case for war based on lies and nothing more.

They relied on statements made by a prisoner who was being tortured. But . . . . what else did the tortured prisoner say that they chose to ignore?

They relied on obviously forged documents?

They ignored the report of the UN investigators which was presented to the UN before we entered Iraq.

Read the Vanity Fair article on the weeks and days before the war. That was published in April 2004. I will never forget reading that article. The whole war was a hoax, and I'm glad that Rachel Maddow is finally reporting on it.
