I’ve got a few days free, I may actually just do this. What other events would be good examples? I mean, it’s hard to dwindle it all down…
this is my favourite one - it’s just so clear and unequivocal and the parallels are so stark, and it’s direct from a mainstream news source at the time, showing exactly how uncritically they recirculated this nonsense (apologies, i mean “an incredible presentation of a web of evidence, not just a theory”)
Nice thanks. Is there any refutation picture by picture of the claims? I guess the biggest refutation was that they didn’t find any WMD lol, but more granularly I mean mean.
im sure there is one, though im not aware of anything specific. with the benefit of hindsight and that there is mainstream acceptance that there were never any wmds and that the claims that they existed were deliberate lies, i think its pretty clear just looking at these fucking ridiculous pictures now how sketchy this evidence is
i would be inclined just to remind them that a million people (or more) died based on this. this flimsy bullshit. there is a natural and very understandable inclination to “err on the side of caution” because what if youre wrong and there really is a huge atrocity that youve been complicit in denying? but “erring on the side of caution” can get a lot of people killed when its used as justification for american aggression. we were all called saddam lovers and denialists over and over by everyone in the mainstream for rejecting this shit last time, but we were right while the mainstream cheered on and facilitated a war that killed a million people based on nothing more than this shit
:same-picture:
Here is a decent clip of libs grilling each other over Iraq, winner of stupid award given to hack journalists unironically believes everything the CIA says and still defend that stance a decade later.
