s a result of 9/11, America has been trapped inside the heart of darkness, living a lie about a world full of enemies, which we have created, in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria. Only when we know the truth will we at last be set free from endless war. Only when we hold accountable those who lied to take us into wars will we be able to move forward courageously in the world. Britain had its Chilcot Commission on the Iraq War.
Where is our moment of reckoning?
As we observe the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the wrenching heartbreak of violent loss of loved ones and the utter devastation upon innocents of our nation, let us, too, observe that as a result of 9/11 an unjust war was visited on the people of Iraq who, at the hands of the US government, and leaders in political parties, have, in war, endured and continue to suffer from the equivalent of hundreds of 9/11s.
Top Bush Administration and Congressional officials possessed no credible evidence that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11, yet made the people of Iraq pay for it! Bob Woodward’s book, Bush at War, (Chapter 4, Page 49) makes it abundantly clear that 9/11 was immediately appropriated by the Bush Administration in the service of an ideological agenda destructive to the world.
The Bush Administration deliberately conflated Iraq and 9/11, to mislead the American people into thinking Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11. The Christian Science Monitor reported that when President Bush spoke to the nation in the run-up to the Iraq war he “mentioned Sept. 11 eight times. He referred to Saddam Hussein many more times that than, often in the same breath with Sept. 11.” See this CNN Transcript.
I did the research, the due diligence and subsequently led the effort against the Iraq war. At the time I was heavily criticized and dismissed for challenging what to me seemed an obviously false narrative imposed on America.
I again call for the creation of a 9/11 National Commission on Truth and Reconciliation, so that the America people can know the full truth of what happened on 9/11, who was responsible, and also what happened after 9/11, and who was responsible for voting for, funding and initiating a war based on a monstrous lie.
