Around 10 days after 9/11, I met with Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz at the Pentagon. A general called me in and informed me that we were going to war with Iraq. When I asked why, he didn't have a clear answer. There was no evidence connecting Saddam to Al Qaeda. It seemed like they didn't know what else to do, so they decided to go to war. A few weeks later, I asked if we were still going to war with Iraq, and he showed me a memo stating that we planned to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and ending with Iran. The Middle East's oil resources have attracted great power involvement, and there has always been a belief that we could use force in the region.

Shortly after 9/11, the speaker encountered Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz at the Pentagon. A general called him urgently, revealing that they had decided to go to war with Iraq. When asked why, the general admitted they didn't have any new evidence connecting Saddam to Al Qaeda. The decision was made because they didn't know what else to do about terrorism and believed their military could overthrow governments. Weeks later, the speaker asked if they were still going to war with Iraq, to which the general responded that it was even worse. He showed the speaker a classified memo outlining plans to attack seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and ending with Iran. The speaker regrets not seeing the memo and asks for the general's name.

The speaker discusses the Iraq war and how they believe the American people were deceived by the neocons. They claim that false information was spread about Saddam Hussein's involvement in the World Trade Center attacks and the anthrax attacks that followed. The speaker also mentions that the FBI traced the anthrax to a U.S. government source at Fort Detrick. They argue that the Patriot Act, which was passed during this time, undermined the Constitution and reopened the bioweapons arms race. The speaker concludes by stating that the act allowed federal officials to violate international bioweapons agreements without facing prosecution.

Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 discuss the decision to go to war in Iraq. Speaker 1 believes Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, and the burden was on him to prove otherwise. He thinks the war was based on the totality of circumstances, not just the presence of weapons. Speaker 2 opposed the war from the start, doubting the existence of nuclear weapons and trusting George Bush's word. He believed the war was unnecessary and was only meant to unite the United Nations for inspections.

The speaker discusses a memo outlining a plan to invade seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and ending with Iran. They express frustration that this plan was not widely discussed in the media and highlight the propaganda used to justify each war. The speaker believes that these wars were premeditated and that excuses were made to deceive the American people. They criticize the immense profits made by weapon companies at the expense of innocent lives. The speaker condemns the atrocities committed and questions the perception of the United States as a force for good.

Speaker 0: For a fact that he's poisoned his own people. He doesn't believe in the worth of each individual. We must do everything we possibly can to stop the terror. Now watch this drive. The tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free.

The speaker discusses the search for weapons in Iraq and how it evolved over time. They mention receiving tips and conducting inspections, but ultimately not finding any weapons. Despite feeling terrible about it, they believe Saddam Hussein was still a dangerous individual. The conversation then shifts to the CIA director's statement about the case being a "slam dunk," clarifying that it referred to the overall case, not specifically the existence of weapons. The speaker acknowledges the outrage over Abu Ghraib and the lack of accountability for the WMD claims, which led to the war.

The speaker recalls a conversation about going to war with Iraq. They question the reason behind it and inquire about any evidence linking Saddam to Al Qaeda, but there is none. The speaker later learns about a memo outlining plans to attack seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and ending with Iran. When they ask if the memo is classified, the person confirms it is. The speaker mentions bringing up the memo again in a recent conversation, but the person denies ever showing it to them.

The war in Iraq was a mistake by George Bush. The U.S. should have never been in Iraq because it destabilized the Middle East. The speaker claims "they" lied about weapons of mass destruction, asserting that there were none.

The speaker recalls a conversation where a general informed him that the decision to go to war with Iraq had been made without any evidence connecting Saddam to Al Qaeda. The general mentioned that the military's only solution to dealing with terrorists was to take down governments. Later, the speaker learned about a memo outlining plans to attack seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq. The video then mentions military operations in Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan. It concludes by mentioning the investigation into the misuse of intelligence information and the speaker's belief that evidence points to wrongdoing.

After 9/11, a general told me the decision to go to war with Iraq was made without evidence linking Saddam to Al Qaeda. Plans were revealed to take out 7 countries in 5 years, starting with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. Military operations began in Iraq and Syria. The situation in Syria was discussed, acknowledging the distressing images coming out of the country.

The speaker discusses the search for weapons in Iraq and how it evolved over time. They mention the sinking feeling when no weapons were found initially, but then received tips about buried crates in the Euphrates River, which turned out to be false. The inspectors were sent back in, but ultimately, there was no evidence of weapons. However, the speaker believes Saddam Hussein was still dangerous and capable of making weapons. The conversation also touches on the outrage over Abu Ghraib and the lack of accountability for the false WMD claims.

After 9/11, the speaker had a conversation with a general who informed him that the US had decided to go to war with Iraq, even though there was no evidence connecting Saddam Hussein to Al Qaeda. The speaker later learned about a memo outlining plans to attack seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and ending with Iran. The speaker believes that Iran saw the US presence in Iraq as a threat and got involved to protect its interests. The speaker also discusses the possibility of the US planning a bombing attack on Iran and Saudi Arabia funding covert operations in the Middle East. The speaker warns against using force as a first resort and highlights the complexities of the situation in Iraq.

I fought not for my country, but for politicians' agendas. I remember killing a man in his bedroom while his wife watched. He reached for a gun because I was in his room at 2 AM. I was there because of a political decision tied to George Bush's vendetta against Saddam Hussein, based on false claims of weapons of mass destruction. I wonder about the man I killed—what if we had met under different circumstances, like sharing coffee in Paris? Would we have liked each other?

He poisoned his own people, showing he doesn't value individuals. We must stop the terror. The tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free. Now watch this drive.

About 10 days after 9/11, the speaker met with Secretary Rumsfeld at the Pentagon. A general informed him that they had decided to go to war with Iraq, but when asked why, the general had no answer. There was no evidence linking Saddam to Al Qaeda, but they felt they had a strong military and could overthrow governments. Later, the speaker learned that there was a memo outlining plans to attack seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and ending with Iran. The speaker asked if the memo was classified, and it was confirmed to be so.

The speaker asserts people desire freedom and will overthrow dictators like Saddam Hussein if given the opportunity. When asked about finding evidence of chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons, the speaker states there is no question that the U.S. has evidence Iraq possesses biological and chemical weapons. This was the reason for military action to disarm Saddam Hussein. The speaker suggests reporters embedded with the military will find this evidence firsthand and the findings will be self-evident. When asked directly if the speaker expects the weapons to be found, the speaker reiterates Saddam Hussein possesses biological and chemical weapons, and this will become clear during the operation.

The US aims to prevent Saddam Hussein from using nuclear or chemical weapons on other countries. Despite his denial, he is believed to possess such weapons. The speaker mentions the devastating death toll of half a million children, surpassing that of Hiroshima. They question whether the cost of war is justified. Speaker 0 acknowledges the difficulty of the decision but believes the price is worth it. They argue that it is a moral obligation to protect the American people, military, and neighboring countries from the threat posed by Saddam Hussein.

In the past, a million people were killed in Iraq due to false claims of weapons of mass destruction. The speaker demands an apology for the lives lost and accuses someone of lying about the weapons and launching an unjustified invasion, possibly referring to Ukraine.

The speakers discuss their memories of watching the war in Iraq on TV. They recall the bombing and express their disbelief at the lack of evidence for weapons of mass destruction. They mention Alex Jones getting sued for a large sum of money and compare it to the lack of consequences for those responsible for the deaths in Iraq. They reflect on the absurdity of the situation and question the true source of misinformation.

"Of the war in Iraq was a big fat mistake. They lied. Okay. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none, and they knew there were none." "Bush got us into this horrible war with lies by lying, by saying they had weapons of mass destruction, by saying all sorts of things that turned out not to be true." "I lost a lot of friends that were killed in that building. The worst attack ever in this country, it was during his presidency." "We spent $2,000,000,000,000, thousands of lives, wounded warriors all over the place we're in."

He was warned of a coming event leading to invasions in Afghanistan and Iraq for oil and power. The speaker claims 9/11 was orchestrated by the government to fuel fear and control the population through endless war on terror. This war, with no clear enemy, allows the government to manipulate and deceive the public. The speaker believes it is crucial to expose this truth despite the intimidation to keep it hidden.

About ten days after 9/11, the speaker describes going through the Pentagon and seeing Secretary Rumsfeld. A general then pulls him aside and says they must talk briefly. The general says, “we’ve made the decision. We’re going to war with Iraq.” When the speaker asks, “Why?” the general replies, “I guess they don’t know what else to do.” The speaker asks if they found information connecting Saddam to Al Qaeda. The response is, “No. There’s nothing new that way.” The general explains they had “made the decision to go to war with Iraq,” and that it seems, as the speaker reflects, “we don’t know what to do about terrorists, but we got a good military and we can take down governments.” A few weeks later, the speaker returns to see the general amid bombing campaigns in Afghanistan and inquires again, “We still going to war with Iraq?” The answer is presented as worse than prior: the speaker says the general tells him, “I just got this down from upstairs, meeting the secretary of defense office today.” He describes a memo that outlines “how we're gonna take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.” The speaker asks if the memo is classified, and the general confirms, “yes, sir.” He adds, “Don’t show it to” (the transcript ends there). Key elements include the asserted decision to invade Iraq without evidence of a direct link to Al Qaeda, the perception that the administration chose military action because other options were unclear, and the claim of a broader plan to “take out seven countries in five years” beginning with Iraq and extending through Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran, with the memo described as classified. The account ties the Iraq invasion decision to a larger strategic agenda and emphasizes a chain of communication from the secretary of defense’s office to field-level comprehension, all within the context of ongoing Afghanistan bombing.

The speaker argues that the war in Iraq resulted in an enormous, unrecoverable cost: “we spent $2,000,000,000,000, thousands of lives,” and that the outcome left the United States with nothing to show for it. The speaker contends that Iran is now taking over Iraq, describing it as having “the second largest oil reserves in the world,” and asserts that this outcome proves the involvement in Iraq was a mistake. The speaker states that George Bush made a mistake and that the United States “should have never been in Iraq,” claiming that the intervention destabilized the Middle East. Regarding accountability, the speaker questions whether Bush should be impeached and suggests a preference for letting the other party decide how to label the issue, saying, “So you still think he should be impeached? I think it's my turn, ain't it? You do whatever you want.” The speaker emphasizes a belief that those responsible “lied,” specifically about weapons of mass destruction, asserting, “They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none, and they knew there were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction. Alright.” In sum, the speaker presents three core assertions: (1) the Iraq War was extraordinarily costly in financial terms and human lives, and produced no tangible gain; (2) the war destabilized the Middle East and empowered Iran to increase influence in Iraq, which the speaker frames as a mistaken outcome; and (3) the leaders claimed WMDs existed when they did not, asserting that there were no weapons of mass destruction and that those claims were knowingly false. The dialogue also touches on impeachment as a potential consequence for the leadership involved, framed through the speaker’s yes-or-no stance and interjections about accountability.

The speaker discusses the Iraq war and how they believe the American people were deceived by the neocons. They mention that false information was spread about Saddam Hussein's involvement in the World Trade Center attacks and the anthrax attacks that followed. The speaker claims that the anthrax came from a U.S. government source and was sent to senators who were opposing the Patriot Act. They argue that the Patriot Act, which was passed during this time, infringed upon the Constitution and reopened the bioweapons arms race. The speaker concludes that the act effectively allowed for crimes without punishment.
