1. La Justificación Basada en Mentiras y la Fervor Inicial.
Existe un consenso fuerte en el texto sobre que la guerra de Irak se basó en información falsa, principalmente sobre las armas de destrucción masiva (WMD), y que la administración Bush orquestó una campaña mediática para asegurar el apoyo público.
- The iraq war started in 2003, when i was 12. At the time it was common knowledge that it was based on a lot of lying, and i mean it was such common knowledge that fucking newspaper comics talked about it.
- The most egregious example of this for me is when people say everyone supported the iraq war when it started in 2003. Complete and total bullshit.
- I remember when the debate over the iraq war was whether it was a bad idea or bad execution, when obviously the answer was yes.
- They generated lies about weapons of mass destruction being in iraq to justify the us invading iraq.
- Millennials who have apparently willfully, tbh forgotten what dick cheney and gwb did and the iraq wariraqi genocide how the fuck did you forget the formative experience of watching televised operation iraqi freedom which was literally the u.s. Military bombing the shit out of apartments.
- I will never forget the pain and rage i felt about the iraq war. I thought i could never feel pain and rage like that again based on the actions of our administration. Well, here we are.
- Watching opinions on the occupation of iraq evolve from eternal racist war-boners to i was always against it to memory-holing sure taught me a lot about human nature.
- We said the same during the iraq war and then they just rewrote history and everyone gave them a pass.
- The whole world saw it, except the consent-manufacturing machine of us media.
- I just got done watching the movie shock and awe literally 5 minutes ago about the corp mainstream press failure to really investigating the truth about how the iraq war started.
- The media is always going to get more excited about a big deal war than an international alliance to apply pressure through sanctions, whatever the personal beliefs of individuals in the media.
- Starting an unnecessary war that may have killed as many as a million iraqis and 5k americans. Normalizing torture. How soon we forget.
- War criminal. Amen rip? the american invasion of iraq in 2003 ultimately killed at least 200,0 iraqi civilians and 4,492 american soldiers, with an additional 32,292 service members wounded.
- Isis has its origins in the iraq war of 200311. Al-qaeda in iraq, its direct precursor, was one of the actors in a larger sunni insurgency against iraq and its foreign occupying forces.
- I do remember that the bush administration successfully harnessed americas post-911 patriotic fervor into support for their invasion of iraq, but they stopped just short of directly saying that the events were connected.
- Osama bin laden won the war on terror. His goal was to get the us to overreact and transform into an authoritarian police state.
- Counterterrorism fusion centers were ostensibly created to fight terrorism, but were promptly turned against the populace. This reveals a central purpose of the so-called war on terror the social control of the people.
- It felt genuinely insane to oppose a war that is now almost universally considered to have been a mistake and a disaster.
- I was in high school protesting the iraq war, many including myself spoke at length about how bush was a fascist.
- I was in grade 12 in in 2003 and remember discussing in history class the lead up to the iraq war that spring. That was the moment that radicalized me.
