20 years ago, the U.S. launched a brutal and illegal invasion of Iraq. So @mehdihasan asks, what happened to the “architects” responsible for that war? Professional ruin? Criminal charges? Nah. Roll the tape!

We always have a war and an excuse. Ukraine is different though, right?

Mehdi Hasan should remember that who did 9/11 were hammered by US .... Do we have to give free pass to Jihadi Islamic Terrorists of Iraq and Syria?
In all fairness, the Bush administration sold people faulty intelligence to get them on board.

Replying to @tribelaw
Is George Santos despicable lies worst than George W Bush’s lies to invade a country? Today’s lying, fascist Republican Party is a direct result of George Bush’s really really big evil lie. Fascist GOP
Failing up and making millions is the great American tradition for people in government/politics. That’s really the only reason they opt for that career.

Iraq, this is the country whose "leader" started two terrible wars in which millions of people died, dropped chemical weapons on people, his sons tortured the people with impunity, did not let inspectors into the country and created a crazy dictatorship?
If jan 6 hadn’t happened i would have told you bush was a worst president than trump he not only destabilize our economy he destabilized the entire world we could have set the US up for the next century but everything changed in that meeting with wolfowitz
I can’t imagine anyone not recognizing what a shit show this was.We were fed lies about WMDs.Imagine being in the military?That said,it would be remiss not to also remember the temperature of much of the US at the time. It was in response to 9/11 & MANY wanted their lb of flesh.

Appreciate this. Just a catastrophic tragedy. Only would add Bush also not held accountable, largely due to the press treating him as a kindly old painter dude
