Quite. And deportations of extremely questionable “legality”.
What the kids these days call re-immigration.

First as stupid, then as also stupid?

Thank you for this. I feel like the Iraq War has been whitewashed into either a serious government making an unfortunate mistake, or at least a country tragically misled by a sinister but capable conspiracy. And I distinctly remember it as being so stupidly transparent that even a child could see how it was going, while all these ostensible adults acted like the most incapable or gullible fools imaginable. I was already leaning toward atheism but I remember it crystallized with the realization that so far from the idea of God making me happy, the idea that even they couldn’t make a world better than this garbage was making me incredibly depressed. And almost every step of the way it unfolded exactly like people had predicted, except the people who did were all quietly dropped and forgotten in favor of idiots who spent a decade denying and then being stunned at the obvious. And how it keeps getting treated it as if it might have been good or bad but at least involved cerebral cortexes feels like such frustrating gaslighting.
For the record, Trump may have started his first presidency with denying hurricane relief and concentration camps for children, but nothing he did came anywhere near the callous death and destruction from Bush and his obviously stupid war until he decided to let a major plague spread for political gain.

Yes, and he might be looking to top Dubya with regards to destabilizing the mid East and making things immeasurably worse.
Maybe there is a god, but they’re a cynical trickster god who loves to prank humanity…

I’ve been thinking about the lead-up to the Iraq war lately too. When Gabbard contradicted the president, it reminded me of Condoleezza Rice’s quick heel-turn from “Saddam Hussein is contained” to “we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud” the moment the oil deals were signed with Russia and France.
One thing that strikes me between then and now is that clumsy and transparent as the lies were, at least they made an effort to lie. This time it just feels like their usual “me or your lying eyes” bullshit.

Did they really though? Or did they put in a little for the UN but otherwise just make up whatever nonsense about Iraq being tied to Al Qaeda, ready to nuke the US, and Hussein himself being a weapon of mass destruction since he tried to kill the president’s dad? I am with Weindling that this was so much less professional than people now credit.

oh, me too. Absolutely agreed. It was unpleasant, watching friends falling for this.
I also feel it was more professional that what we have now.
