Political Deception

Iraq: A Veritable Imposture (1x1)

Air date: Sep 25, 2016

Saddam Hussein's arsenal of "weapons of mass destruction" was George W. Bush's main justification for waging war against Irak in 2003. After the invasion of the country, American leaders recognised that they had been mistaken, and that the Baghdad tyrant did not possess such a capability. Bush claimed it was an error and defended his good faith, denouncing the negligence of his secret services. The power vacuum created by this blunder directly led to the creation of ISIS. The Iraq war was decided on proven lies. It is the result of an unprecedented manipulation of American public opinion, the international press and political personnel on a global scale. This investigation reveals these mystifications, deciphers by whom they were conceived and reveals why America launched itself into a conflict that cost hundreds of thousands of lives and approximately 3000 billion dollars.
