Bush, Cheney’s Iraq Lies and War Crimes Spawned Daesh and Killed Millions
On March 20, 2003, the Bush administration led the US and a “coalition of the willing” to invade Iraq, based on false claims, including manufactured evidence that Saddam Hussein had stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction with designs to use them, that Iraq’s Baathist regime was in league with al Qaeda and shared responsibility for the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, and that US troops would “liberate the Iraqi people” from the depths of dictatorship.
The illegitimate war led to over one million Iraqi deaths and the deaths of some 4,486 US soldiers. The 2nd Bush administration’s Iraq invasion has lasting ramifications throughout the region, and domestically, within the United States as well. Evidence has come to light in recent months that the Daesh leaders who seized once diverse and booming northern Iraq provinces, including Mosul are, in fact, the same Iraqi military leaders that were ousted and subsequently discriminated against by US occupation forces.
