... Mr. President, your decision to invade Iraq has caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and Iraqis, wounds of Americans and Iraqis for a lifetime. Every reason given, publicly at least, has turned out not to be true. My question is, why did you really want to go to war? From the moment you stepped into the White House, from your Cabinet -— your Cabinet officers, intelligence people, and so forth -— what was your real reason? You have said it wasn't oil - quest for oil, it hasn't been Israel, or anything else. What was it?
This BBC documentary, posted on YouTube in 14 parts of about 10 minutes each, provides an answer to that question. I'd highly recommend it if you've got 3 hours in 10 minute increments.
In light of the information in that British piece, Glenn Greenwald's post today about neoconservatives crying about their lack of involvement in the Baker-Hamiliton Commission is especially on target.
