Tony Blair dragged the Brits to war by lying in parliament when he said there was evidence Saddam's military had a WMD capability that could reach London and could be ready to go within 45 minutes.
Colin Powell stood up in the UN a rattled of another bunch of lies with assertions of mobile Iraqi biological-warfare labs and a "sinister nexus" between Iraq and al-Qaeda terrorists.
The war was started on lie after lie and the administration is still lying about it today.
- pekk 13y agoThat's an overstatement, for example Powell himself has expressed regret about those statements
- jussij 13y agoIt is a known fact Powell lied to the UN (since he is obviously offering an apology for something) but by saying sorry somehow that makes it all ok? Hundreds of thousands of people died as a result of that lie! How is that an overstatement?
