George Bush's Criminal Wars of Aggression:

A Detailed History

Part One of Four

by

Richard W. Behan

The illegal warmaking of the Bush Administration has returned to public view once more, thanks to the activist women of CODEPINK. They recently convened "The People's Tribunal on the Iraq War" in Washington D.C. Over two days more than 100 people testified to the deliberate lies that led the nation into war and to the horrendous consequent costs: millions of lives lost and shattered, trillions of dollars squandered, environmental catastrophes. 40,000 people watched the Tribunal live online; the testimonials remain available for viewing at IraqTribunal.org .

The detailed history below is adapted from a powerpoint presentation, The Fraudulent War , submitted to the Tribunal for the record. (The presentation can be viewed here .)
