- esafak 3y agoI don't remember the embarrassment stage. I think it went from pro-war to forgetting about it. President Obama said it himself: "we need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards".
- joenot443 3y agoI’m curious, are you deliberately avoiding the very obvious implication that “most US citizen” only felt that way because of CNN/Fox messaging? I feel like you’re remembering this timeline pretty poorly. Were you living in the US at the time?
- HellDunkel 3y agoIf you choose to be mad at cnn/fox that is probably not irrational. Just dont go about blaming every media outlet for secretly cooperating with the goverment and question yourself first. I was not living in the US then and i remember attending an anti irak war protest. The media info i got at the time was that the us policy was foolish and likely to destabilize the entire region. I guess the media here was right then. I for myself thought getting rid of saddam and creating a democratic irak was desirable if not easily achievable- i was not sure what would be best to do.
