Big Lie Leading to Iraq Quagmire
Investigative Journalism Reveals Big Lie Leading to Iraq Quagmire
According to the New York Times, a few weeks before the vote to authorize the use of military force against Iraq, "Condoleezza Rice, the president's national security adviser, asserted on CNN that, 'We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.'" This was an orchestrated attempt to create fear and panic among the public.
According to the article, Rice's comments were intentional lies because she was given extensive briefings before her TV appearance: "she was aware that the government's foremost nuclear experts had concluded that the [aluminium] tubes were most likely not for nuclear weapons at all."
