Thousands of people were criticized harshly for exposing the lies after 9/11 that propelled us into unconstitutional wars. Now these lies are fully in the open. We’ve had the truth the whole time. Nobody can say they didn’t know. Now that you do know the truth, it’s your duty to inform everyone you know.
Brief highlights from study.
-
The lies were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanised public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretences.
-
935 false statements were issued by the White House in the two years after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
-
It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al-Qaeda.
-
The Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003.
-
The study found that President Bush alone made 259 false statements – 231 about weapons of mass destruction and 28 about Iraq’s links to al-Qaeda.
-
The cumulative effect of these false statements – amplified by thousands of news stories and broadcasts – was massive, with the media coverage creating an almost impenetrable din for several critical months in the run-up to war.
Now we have the war-mongerers pushing for another illegal war in Iran. Enough is enough!

A new book shows Saddam did support al Qaeda and the Taliban:
