It seems perplexing that we as a nation do not know why we went to war. The reason given by the Bush administration initially was because Saddam Hussein posessed weapons of mass destruction or WMDs. When none were found, the administration said the reason was to bring democracy to the Iraqi people. They also said that Saddam was linked to Al-Qaeda and the September 11th hijaking.

It started out with the trade center bombings. The perpetrators had to be caught leading to war in Afghanistan.

Next came the rush to Iraq. The Bush administration argued that Iraq was building weapons of mass destruction. Colin Powel obtained UN support on this basis.

A largely US force attacked Iraq. No weapons of mass destruction were found.

At home, the Bush adminstration perpetuated a lie that Iraq was involved with Al Queda and the trade center bombings.

US Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV wrote an editorial for the New York Times stating that claims that Iraq tried to purchase radioactive materials were suspect. Eight days later, the reporter Robert Novak reveals that Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, is a CIA agent. Novak's actions are interpreted as payback for Wilson's editorial.

Iraq has become a cause against America in the Islamic world. Osama Bin Laden was never caught. The Taliban are still strong.

And that is what this site is about. The willful misleading of the American people and the terrible policies initiated.
