"Hubris": New Documentary "Selling the Iraq War "Hoax"

Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War

An MSNBC film, hosted by Rachel Maddow, and based on Michael Isikoff and David Corn's book, finds new evidence that Bush scammed the nation into war.

The film premieres Monday night in her usual time slot (7PM/MT). But the documentary goes beyond what Isikoff and Corn covered in Hubris , presenting new scoops and showing that the complete story of the selling of that war has yet to be told.

Imagine my surprise... But this book, and this documentary based on the book, will provide definitive proof of the lies and cooked intelligence that were used to scam the nation into an unnecessary war.

Really? Ancient history. Boring. Move-on.org.

Yeah, really, move on... we paid for that war with all the oil we got. Remember?

If you want to review ancient history, lets also talk about the Gulk Of Tonkin lies that LBJ used to get us deeper into Vietnam.

Let me clue you in, Ms, Naive, when countries want to go to war, they create propaganda to convince the general public that we need to lay our lives on the line.
Remember the stories the Kuwatis told of Iraqi's shipping baby inubators back to Iraq and leaving the premature infants lying on the floor?

How about the fables of World War I German soldiers bayonetting Belgian babies?

Or how about even more insidious, FDR covering up stories about concentration camps because he didn't think Americans would fight to save Jews.

Good special... The people whose research that Bush used as justification and "proof" were shown on-camera talking about how he took their reports that showed that the so-called "aluminum tubes" and "yellow cake uranium" were phony, and lied about them. They tried suppress every bit of truth; they threw together a "National Security Assessment" in a couple of weeks using cheerleaders instead of facts; they sent it to the Congress, but made it so that only the few on the Intelligence Committees could read it and then claimed "everybody had 'seen it'" when they hadn't. They leaked planted stories to support their b.s. to the newspapers, and then went on the air that night to say, "The New York Times is NOW reporting: _______"

These liars and warmongers have been exposed... This isn't "ancient history"... This is why we've spent trillions on unnecessary wars...and we still have troops over there in harm's way because of these lies.

No, we aren't going to talk about Viet Nam, or WWII, or WWI... We are looking at the lies and cooked intelligence that took us into TWO unnecessary, unpaid-for wars under Bush.

Take your usual tiresome deflections and start your own thread...

No one cares anymore. Even the peace protestors at I-70 and Wadsworth have dwindled down to two or three. No daily casualty reports in the Denver Post. In fact very little coverage. And if the wars were unneccesary why has Obama expanded the drone program in Pakistan, Afghanistan and other Islamic countries?

What you mean is no GOTP/Neo-cons want it to be mentioned anymore... And I can understand why... And I can assure you that it is not going away, it's not going to be swept under the rug... We're going to be paying for it for the next 30 years...

Oooo... Peace protestors are down to 2-3 in Denver... B.F.D. Like, you really think that's an indicator of the lack of interest in Bush's unnecessary wars? I don't think so.

I truly do hope you continue to go down that road that "nobody cares any more." PLEASE...Jus' keep doin' what yer doin'...

The neo-cons are finding it out now in the Senate that their pro-war b.s. is going to result in a new Secretary of Defense who doesn't believe in starting wars every time a "Bubba" from Texas feels like he needs to get revenge for "Poppy"s failures.

Hagel? Talk about scary senility as a Defense Secretary. Easier for Obama to make him a puppet than Panetta who decried sequesteration and is now replaced by a fool.
