Hubris: The Selling of the Iraq War - Monday 2/18 at 9 p.m. ET
By Will Femia
Last night Rachel pointed out that this year marks the tenth anniversary of President George W. Bush's State of the Union address containing the now infamous 16 words that turned out to be a very consequential lie:
Included in a collection of web materials associated with Rachel's upcoming documentary "Hubris: The Selling of the Iraq War," is a longer cut of that 2003 State of the Union address. It's a powerful reminder of how thick the Bush administration laid it on to rally the nation to war in Iraq:

(55,981 posts)2. Yes I totally agree. Bush and friends carried out a calculated effort to deceive the American
public into believing we had to invade Iraq to punish those responsible for the 9/11 disaster and to secure our safety. They should be punished.
I believe an equally important part of the story is that our Congressional representatives betrayed us and used the excuse that they were deceived. IMO that's also a lie. They were not deceived, they were complicit.
