wasn t that much of a mistake. you see that still happening in politics this past week in capitol hill, right? people defending the iraq war as if it were the right thing to do. but also, this idea that we were all in bed together, that we all made the same wrong decision together as a nation, that there was no dissent, and that we all believed that saddam had weapons of mass destruction. i m so glad you played that footage of what was going on ten years ago today with the global worldwide protests about going into ire. well didn t convince the war. they didn t convince enough people in the united states to call it a nation going to war. but because it was our war leading the deception campaign, we went. and i don t think we ve appreciated how big a deal that was for us as a country, how big a deal that was for the world. we ve been so close to it for so long, it s ten years. it s time to step back and realize what that was. will it change how we view

the government perpetrated a massive deception campaign on us. but as long as those who were wrong about the iraq war, as long as those who did it can count on us not being blunt about that, as long as we as a country avoid coming to terms with what happened then, not only do you mr. it was the right decision get to run for president, but you get to pick this guy to be your top foreign policy aide while you re rung. his top foreign policy aide was dan seymour. how do you fail up into that job? not only do you get to make that guy your national security expert, but the two foreign policy speeches at the republican national convention in 2012 get delivered by senator we will be greeted at liberators and by secretary of the smoking gun might come in the mushroom cloud. those are your two foreign policy experts? those are your two foreign policy speeches? ten years out there was a major effort under way right now to make the war in iraq seem like it was a reasonable idea at the time.
