Gregory Davis

My name is Gregory Davis and I am a graduate student at Berkley, I have been studying how and why the United States-- has mde the decision to go to war, whether Presidents and their cabinet skew intelligence information, or more even simply lie to the public itself, whether that be Vietnam or Iraq.

As the country marks the tenth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, we face a persisten question: Why didn’t those in the U.S government speak out about the phony intelligence used by the Bush White House to justify the invasion of Iraq? Yellowcake uranium from Africa? Aluminum tubes for nuclear weapons? Connections between al Qaeda and Saddam? Throughout the U.S. intelligence community, some officials knew that these–and other assertions used to make the case for war–were based on the sketchiest of intelligence, wrong-headed assumptions and fraudulent claims by the Bush administration.

Slowly but surely, congress and the media have been putting together a compelling narrative about how President Bush and his top aides contrived their bogus case for war in Iraq.
