Unearthed Video: McCain Pushed Bush Iraq War Agenda Two Months After 9/11

September 30, 2008 04:58 PM

Recently unearthed video shows that just two months after 9/11, John McCain was not only fully aware of the Bush Administration's Iraq War Agenda, but also that he actively helped make the argument for war.

In an interview broadcast November 28, 2001 on ABC News Nightline, McCain:

* Said that the Bush Administration would build a case for military conflict with Iraq, and expressed his support for such action

* Advanced false claims made by the Bush Administration about the threat of Iraqi WMD

* Connected Iraq with 9/11 by repeating the false claim that 9/11 hijacker Muhammad Atta had met with Iraq intelligence authorities in Prague before 9/11

Absolutely every crime perpetrated by the GOP in the last 8 years has been foreseen ... called 'tin-hat' when predicted and ignored afterwards. Appalling.
