War in Iraq

Stories about the second war with Iraq started by President George W. Bush

President George W. Bush launched an invasion of Iraq in March 2003 under false pretenses that Iraq had an active weapons of mass destruction program, abetted by neoconservative media allies who advocated for the war and shoddy reporting by major news outlets. Media supporters of the Iraq War are still given prominent media platforms despite well over 4,000 Americans and many more thousands of Iraqis being killed as a result of the invasion and occupation.
