21 Year Anniversary - How the Bush Lies Justified the Invasion of Iraq 

March 21, 2024 -- Twenty-one years have passed and most people have forgotten about the invasion of Iraq. Unfortunately the death and destruction that George W. Bush led on Iraq and its people still has long lasting effects on the country, its people and the region.

The 2003 illegal invasion of Iraq, which was essentially sold on a fraud (i.e. non-existent "weapons of mass destruction"), destroyed the nation and people of Iraq, killing more than one million people, displacing millions of others, costing the American taxpayers over $2 trillion dollars, strengthened Iran which with its nuclear program and control of Iraq making it the greatest threat to peace in the region, and allowed terrorist threats like Al-Qaeda and ISIS, by ignoring efforts to fight it. 

It was not a case of "mistaken" intelligence as many would try to sell to defend these con-artist politicians who sold the war; rather it was a fraudulent act of deceiving the American people and the world at large to justify the disastrous killing and maiming of innocent people, destroying nation-states, causing terrorism to spread in a vacuum of power, and empowering nations like Iran to take over much of the Middle East (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen) unhindered and with a nuclear program.

Thanks to the Bush Administration, Iran now rules the region through its proxies in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and elsewhere, and uses terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS, along with its sectarian militia proxies to spread violence and destruction in the region. 

And yet President Clinton was impeached for an extra-marital affair and President Trump for a phone call to a foreign leader about his political rival. 

Yet the man who caused the deaths of over one million innocent people, spent over $2 trillion dollars of taxpayer funds, caused increase of terrorism, and all based on a fraud sold to the world, was never impeached or even held accountable by Congress or any attorney general or special prosecutor. 

Ironic on how Bush actually mentioned how one man decided to "launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq" when referring to Ukraine...listen here to his Freudian slip...

In addition to destroying Iraq, causing the deaths of over a million innocent Iraqis, and squandering trillions of US taxpayer dollars, on top of that, Bush handed control of Iraq to Iran, and allowed Iran to expand their control and influence throughout the region.

In addition, the corrupt politicians and their mafia-like militias that Bush put in power in 2003 still run the country through rigged elections and armed gangsters, plundering the nation's wealth while the people suffer from lack of basic services like clean water, running electricity, sewage treatment, and functioning roads. 

Will Bush and his accomplices ever be held accountable for their misdeeds?
