State of War
State of War is nothing short of an indictment of George W. bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld.
In it, you will learn the following:
George W. bush was determined to overthrow Saddam Hussein from the outset of his presidency. Nothing Saddam Hussein could do, short of perhaps killing himself or removing himself from office would have prevented the invasion of Iraq by the United States.
America and the world were told that we would invade because Saddam Hussein and Iraq had WMD when the United States had no evidence of a functioning weapons program. Because there was none.
A woman was sent to a family member in Iraq, who also happened to have been a part of the now-defunct program to develop a nuclear weapon in Iraq. He told her that the factory where that work had been ongoing was destroyed in the first Iraq war and that the program had not been reconstituted. He later told CIA agents the same thing. Thirty others with similar access in Iraq also told the CIA the same thing. The evidence was ignored or covered up.
False evidence was fixed around the policy of invading Iraq. Anyone trying to present factual intelligence to the White House was either ignored, punished, or both.
After the invasion, anyone in our intelligence community presenting a less than favorable view of conditions in Iraq was marginalized or fired.
Osama bin Laden was allowed to escape from Eastern Afghanistan into Pakistan where he remains to this day. The bush/Rumsfeld administration has known his whereabouts since he escaped.
Afghanistan has become the largest producer of heroin in the world since the US invasion. The product is grown, processed and transported right under the eyes of American soldiers.
The money made from these drugs go to, among others, groups sympathetic to Al Qaeda, who remain determined to kill Americans.
George bushs administration is inadvertently responsible for providing secrets on how to build a nuclear device to Iran.
