After watching this I'm confused why more of us didn't realize before the Iraq war how much of a jerk both Rumsfeld and Cheney really were, personally and professionally.
America should have known as soon as W Bush filled his cabinet with his dad's former cabinet members such as Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld etc. That all he wanted to do was continue what his daddy had started. Sept 10th Rumsfeld said the Pentagon lost 3 trillion dollars. How the fuck you lose $3T. 20 hours later no more WTC and everybody forgets about the missing money and W has his war.
@@tHeXeKuter these are the type of people, some call them deep state, that were pulling strings to take out Trump. If Trump would have let them go into Syria things would have been different.
This compiled footage is so much appreciated. I've always wanted to see something exactly like this. All of the rhetoric leading up to the invasion speaks for itself.
I remember watching footage of the bombing campaign as a junior in high school. I was in history class. Oh the historical memories I have now after the fact. It is weird seeing all of this footage though. I wasn’t as politically savvy then as I am now. Missed the boat on this one.
Saddam was truly crazy and ruthless and a regime change was need imo one way or the other. nevertheless once a regime was changed a pullback was needed as well
@@Eran_Haim The ones who were truly crazy were the neoconservatives like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Bush etc. Especieally when you read about their goals written down in their manifesto "Project for the New American Century" way BEFORe 9/11. Just like, quote: "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."
I was in high school when I first saw the live coverage on 9/11. I went to school but the event caused the school to close early and I walked backed home and watched the news again. The following day I remember how some kids say we are going to war. Before graduation high school I still recall several kids signing up in the army and marines to join this "war". 18 years later, those kids I still kept in touch with questioned their presence in Iraq and afghanistan.
@@youtubewa7766 I mean, they could've been 18 or 17 and were qualified to sign up, just high school hadn't ended yet. Still sad these guys realized like hundreds of thousands of other troops it was for nothing.
I was one of those kids. I ask god everyday to forgive me for my ignorance and willingness to ruin others lives in the name of safety. We were lied to and I remember my mom saying, “son, I just don’t want you to willingly put yourself in a position that Vietnam vets were forced into. Our government never tells us the whole truth and they never pay the price of war.”
Well let's see how they do against China. See how a few dong-feng41's would be easily dismissed. US only attacks weak nations, and can't even finish the job.
I remember the first time I saw Bush. I was in the pub with friends in England and I said, 'That guy is going to start a war'. It's like a TV show and you can see who the characters are and what they're going to do.
Three words: Oil and China. The windfall of cash into private investors was ridiculous from securing oil fields during occupation. China is too large of a country and we have had a deficit with them for years. If we tried to go to war with North Korea, China would slap our dicks around for fun. We have nuclear weapons we can use, but no president would ever have the balls to fire one or a few off again.
I remember watching his speech at the beginning thinking to myself that there was too much emotion involved. And you could feel the fever of war in that room. You could hear the proverbial drums beating. I thought it was unjustified then and think it is now. Not only was it unjustified, it was so poorly handled and planned that it was criminal.
I was the same - it all sounded like total BS and Sabre rattling. When tony Blair and john Howard also joined in with such vigour and theatre that’s when I knew it was all lies
@@ld8178 Agreed.There's interviews and literal books written on how an entire generation signed up for the sole purpose of killing bad guys, nothing else. as a result of 9/11. Even a SEAL said people back home were happy that they knew somebody they knew was going over their to get vengeance on their behalf. You can't blame them. Like you said
+James Hartley The establishment is composed of the Bush family and other international bankers. Bush was told to sell the war to the American people - Haliburton and no bid contracts - need I say more?
Listening to Rumsfield speak in such a cocky and patronizing manner to reporters who asked questions like, "what if you're wrong" made my stomach turn. I truly think he should be in prison. Cheney too. Call me naive, but I actually think the joke was on Bush (and American+Iraqi people) and that even as president, he was conned by his own administration and believed the information they were providing him, rather than being apart of the lie.

In 2002, there was immense social pressure to support everything Bush did in response to 9/11. Phrases like "if you're with not us, you're against us" we're commonplace and you had to walk on eggshells when discussing the US response for fear of being accused of supporting terrorism. Despite that, many thousands of people protested against the war in cities around the world. The Bush administration didn't care though. It was fairly evident that they were set on an invasion from the start.
The war started the night before my 11th birthday on March 19th. I remember being confused about the situation because it went from Afghanistan to Iraq this and Iraq that in the span of a few months.
When will we humans understand that you cannot win a war? When innocent people die on both sides, it is a disaster. We have media that tells us good from the bad.

Early in 2001 Bush officials were saying Iraq had not rebuilt any weapons and could barely project munitions against it's neighbors. Funny how things changed so quickly.
@@TheNecropolis20 well yeah because they flip flopped on the theory all the time. "They don't have weapons but we believe they do." "They absolutely do have wmd! This cannot be denied." "We haven't found any concrete proof, but we cannot just go based off that. We must be vigilant." I mean my head hurts just typing that.

This video is really truly incredible work. Thank you for finding all the footage and clipping it together, I can imagine that was incredibly difficult. I also appreciate the raw nature of the media footage, it helps folks understand and break down the timeline leading to the war in Iraq.
The art of saying absolutely nothing: "You can be sure that the United States isn't going to do anything that it's not capable of, and if we do something, we'll be capable of doing it."

Saddam was trying to acquire Nukes and was on the verge of getting them. If the USA had not gotten rid of Saddam I am sure we would have had WWIII. The world saw that Saddam invaded and tried to annex Kuwait and if he had nukes he would have gotten away with it. He wanted Israel to give back all the territory that they gained during the 1967 Middle East War. He wanted to Nuke Iran, even Saudi Arabia was his enemy and the USA too. He was against the US goal of preventing further (OPEC) momentum towards the euro as an oil transaction currency standard.
The amount of laughing and smiling by these war criminals shows what psychopaths they all are. It’s disgusting that none of them were tried in The Hague for crimes against humanity.

The following day I remember how some kids say we are going to war.

"Before graduating High school". That frightens me

He fired gas Scud missiles at the citizens of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Iran, not only against a foreign enemy but even against his own people, gassing Kurdish civilians in northern Iraq.
It is the same to say that "We need to liberate the american people from their corrupt political nobility on the term of own choosing"
It is really painful to see what had the war in Iraq led to: 2008 financial crisis, almost all people on Earth had gone nuts and other military conflicts in the world including the recent war in Ukraine. And yet US uses the war in Ukraine to justify the expansion of NATO and repeat the same mistakes similar to what happened in Iraq in 2003. And that explains why so many people have been angry at me, just because they deny that I am better and smarter than them.
I'm just some nobody peasant from Canada and felt great sadness on sept 11, and I was scared for the American people with all the uncertainty that followed.
But the day War was declared on IRAQ I was even more confused as to how all momentum in getting Bin Ladin suddenly was dropped and An invasion was planned at IRAQ. I felt it was wrong then, and still believe it was wrong now. all that suffering... for what. For nothing.
This BS started long before, in the late 70s they supported Islamists against Soviets. That’s when Bin Laden made a first trip to Afghanistan.

Great piece. The quotes alone tell a story, especially when you can read body language well.
Yes! I have studied body language. Its so important in this documentary.
Nice video ! No narrative.. The ones involved narrate the incidents themselves. Thank you. Indeed, the war was one big mistake.
Deliberate acts are not termed as mistakes.
It’s funny how Bush always had a smile talking about war.
Of course..his family supplied Hitler with oil at the atlantic for years..of course he is happy talking about war and death..
@@crespossss Yeah Germany didnt lost ww2 !!!!!! They just won it !!!! Because USA is same as NAZI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m glad someone is noticing a smirking Sociopath, he smiled standing on a pile of nine eleven rubble as well. There is no empathy there whatsoever.
