Script:
I took America to war in Iraq. It was all me.
OK, it was mostly me.
I had some help from a clueless President George W. Bush and his neo-conservative puppet master, Vice President Dick Cheney. Senior White House fanatics spoon fed reporters like me cherry-picked intelligence about Iraq’s alleged Weapons of Mass Destruction so that America could invade Iraq and seize its oil.
None of this is true, but many Americans continue to believe it.
People died. It was a war. But President Bush didn’t lie us into it.
The false narrative that he did is, itself, a lie and deserves to be, at last, retired.
There was no shortage of mistakes about Iraq, and some of the media’s prewar WMD stories were wrong, including some of mine. But so is the enduring, pernicious accusation that the Bush administration fabricated WMD intelligence to take the country to war. Before the 2003 invasion, President Bush and other senior officials cited the intelligence community’s incorrect conclusions about Saddam’s WMD capabilities and, on occasion, went beyond them. But relying on the mistakes of others — completely understandable mistakes given Saddam’s horrendous record — and making errors of judgment are not the same as lying.
American, European and arms-control experts, counterterrorism agents, and analysts who studied Iraq and briefed White House officials and journalists were the same people who gave me and my fellow reporters at the New York Times accurate information for years about Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda’s growing threat to America. In fact, eight months before 9/11, the Times published a series of articles on that threat — a series for which the Times staff, including me, won a Pulitzer Prize.
The members of the intelligence community with whom I dealt were overwhelmingly reliable, hardworking and honest. But they were also human, and, in the aftermath of 9/11, they were very wary of ever again underestimating a terrorist threat.

This video is bull shit. Get real.
She hasn't learned a thing she is still lying.
Shoe👞ish✡️ faaks took you to that war your just too d””m to admit it, trillions spent and all these vets going back home and painting the celling and all these terror organizations that was born after shlomo wars are the result of
This is another thing that even many conservatives are now opposed to! Come on prageru, give me a break! Y’all sometimes are trying to keep younger people dumb I think lol! Obviously, they lied about it, if not clueless president bush then for sure the people above him did benefiting from war did! . Read the history. The United States and other countries gave saddam WMD in the first place during the war with Iran when he uses it on his Kurdish population. Then he invaded Kuwait and that’s when the UN, US and other western nations put heavy sanctions on him for years starving his people to death! And along with the gulf war trust me they made sure he doesn’t have the ability to produce them again! Right after the U.S. toppled him they were told to search All over for WMD and none were found! Oh and the claim that he has ties to terrorism and 9/11 attacks was nothing but a circus show obvious lie!
Yes Bush and the entire US syatem lied. Shameful video. This video is Disinformation and fake news
Wow, now make this script into a presentation and show it to a bunch of Iraq and Afghan vets, im sure they will agree wih you!
only time i agree with yall, also its WMV not WMD
Yes. Next question?
Radical liberals and the Neo Cons started this war
Go to hell America
millions of innocents died. how can you defend this, Bush is a murderous monster.
I've been saying the same thing for years. And all of the points she made were not secrets. They were mentioned at the time and throughout the years since in the media. But what was mentioned LOUDER and MUCH MORE OFTEN were the lies of the Leftist (Fake News) media. As we know the average American is too busy and too distracted and too brainwashed to dig just a little deeper to find what may be closer to the truth.
As an aside: Maybe it's time for the collapse of the Democratic (Leftist, Marxist, Social/Communist, anti-American, Lying) party.
liar
"Bad intelligence led to Bad policy decisions".
HAHAHAHAHA
A lot of mental gymnastics in this video!!
that's why I prefer Maga Republicans….they only want to focus on problem at home
You guys did a great job in telling an absolute lie over this video. People died for heaven sake and we are responsible for it. We killed those people and we aren’t different from what Russia is doing now. It’s nothing short of EVIL
The audacity which you don't even mention half million Iraqis dead. APOLOGIZE
American liars
then why did dubya rush to war. dubya has war plans before 911, all the LIES you are saying are true
What mental gymnastics to whitewash an artificially generated war.
At least, she admitted that it was a mistake. Some of the politicians don't do even that.
Iraq was a big mistake, the US can talk whatever they want.
She didn't mention that the NYT fired her ass for reporting these, "mistakes," without question. Which is probably why she's making videos for a pretend university now.
This is craaaaaaazy
Yes
Western "leaders" are psychopaths. Change my mind.
Video could've been done in 15 seconds
Why she is not in jail.
The more interesting part of this video is that at this time, 5100+ people agree. This is BS. we expect better from leaders.
Bush, Cheney and Bolton were liars about WMD. Now we know. I hope you, Judith Miller, will admit that you helped propagandize for US politicians resulting in the death of 100's of thousands civilian deaths. In any case, if you have bad intelligence and if they did have WMD you did not have to bomb innocent — 100's of thousands of deaths. They were liars!! And continue to be – for American Exceptionalism, Imperialism and Hegemony!!
This woman should be hiding under a rock in shame, not making YouTube videos.
Everyone knows they made up (lied) about WMDs. It does not take a rocket scientist to see that. Stop rationalizing it. Bush etc are war criminals.
What a shamelessness.
What all the Bush-haters still have no answer to is how the intelligence services of three countries that were STRONGLY anti-war (France, Germany, and Russia) agreed that Saddam had WMD. Like you could say that France and Germany are US allies, but you cannot say that about Russia.
