George Bush should be arrested for crimes against humanity Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 9/11 was a inside job by our United States government in the bush Dick Cheney White House that would be my belief till the day I die there's no way in hell an illiterate ignorant person from the Middle East could possibly fly those airplanes into those buildings we need to open up a new investigation and find out what really happened on 9/11
This information was suppressed by YouTube during the election. When I tried to find the documentary during the election I couldn’t access it. Now it’s up again.
We are ruled by monsters.
I thought that was Bush not Biden. LOL
Thank you for this damning piece. What a tired and degenerative state we've been in for so long..
Minnesota Senators Dayton & Wellstone 2 of the immortal 23 opposed the war
this goes back to his father Bush >:O the cia has been corrupt institution of america for a long time bush sr. got away with a lot of pitter pather as vp for regan
$ick twi$ted jOe Oh'Biden is a curse upon the American Nation and her peoples!!!!!
Couldn't bring myself to vote Biden. Anyone who voted for (let alone aggressively pushed for!) the Iraq War should be immediately disqualified.

TRUMP 2020.
Crikey! What a choice left to Us ?!?
How about just voting for ANYONE EXCEPT the 2 lunatics,
Good luck!
Eh.. did nobody ever think of dragging Biden to court for killing thousands of people by withholding vital information for the Senate? Other people get death penalty’s for way less then that..
Rest in my peace for all the young soldiers that lost their lives in the name of greed. My prayers to the families that still live with that burden everyday.
Lyin' Joe Biden is trying to claim now that the only reason he supported the Iraq War was because he was lied to by President GW Bush, even though he's on record for supporting invading Iraq in 1998, when Clinton was president, five years before the Iraq war began.
Only 6000 views. Just goes to show, "A lie get's halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on it's pants." -Mark Twain
Evil killer!
"…to free its people…" 😞
He kept it going by endorsing a coup in the Ukraine, a coup in Honduras, destabilization of Libya, and just recently his support for the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Bolivia. The 99% has to stop allowing these war criminals to pretend that they're representing us. The mere fact that an American politician engages the U.S. in ANY WAR, never mind an illegal one, should be disqualified from ever entering politics again at a minimum and a lengthy prison sentence if they don't show remorse for their actions.
Does anyone need any more proof that Joe Biden has been bought and paid for by corporate America?
Voting, the illusion of choice.
Who is funding these poor people with small arms? Poor people can't afford the bullets let alone the arms to shoot them.
and people say there's no deep state. well here it is on display. if you vote for this then well its on you now. and trump is proving no damn different. the fed and the paper money is whats enabling all of this. we live in a central banking warfare system and its rotten to the core. human destruction and degradation are its goals.
Biden has 1MILLION IRAQIS' BLOOD in his hands. He is a bloodthirsty individual. there is no other explanation!
LETS OPEN OUR EYES. THE DNC AND THEIR MANAGERS SUPPORT AND FOLLOW IMPERIALIST'S OBJECTIVES: WAR, KILLINGS, COUP D'ETAT, PLUNDER AND THEFT.
"We think it's Worth the Price" An Auctioneer or Real Estate Broker / Appraiser's kind of statement.
People who have no ownership stake in a thing will always allow it to be sold well below market value – increasing exponentially with how much commission / kick-back they are expecting for their work in bringing the Asset to market.
The world would be a better place without bastards like Joe 'Senile' Biden
But this is the GREATEST country in the world…
I was forced 🔫to say that by the Greatest country in the world
biden only uses in a sentence, a noun, a verb and barack obama.
The world would be a better place without the likes of Joe Biden and his ilk
Goddamn!! When Sen. Biden said in Aug of 2002, "It (the Iraq War) is worth the price" , it was said after he explained his rationale– that "(I can't tell you what I think, but If we could make the case that the threat is dire and real. . . a free and democratic Iraq… It would have a cleansing effect, making our lives easier sinificantly down the road" I nearly peed in my pants, because connecting the dots 18 years later– hindsight is 20/20.
Knowing what we know today of what transpired AFTER the invasion– Biden's smirk while making those cryptic 'thinking-out-loud' comments, makes perfect sense– and resembles so much the 'all-knowing' smirk on Bloomberg's face as HE rationalized the 'cleansing-effect' (ie: "pre-emptive") it would have, once he launched his 'Stop-and-Frisk' in NYC.
What was Biden referring to "making our lives easier significantly down the road"? Many war-critics analyzed at the time, most likely, it was a thinly veiled reference to expropriation and exploitation of Iraqi crude-oil. Could be. Or, could be too, referring to the "cleansing effect…in that part of the world." That 'Fly-by-cluster-bombings' could cleanse their neighborhood, in the same way Bloomberg meant to 'cleanse' Black neighborhoods thru drive-by stop-and-frisk. Thorough racism by official decree.
The documentary claims Iraq was "the most devastating foreign policy blunder of the last twenty years". I respectfully but thoroughly disagree. Rather, it is the most costly war-crimes atrocity of the last twenty years. WHAT was that cost, whose PRICE Biden said was "worth it". Estimates range from several hundred thousand Iraqi civilian deaths and 6000 American soldiers dead (not counting those who died later from disease, injury, starvation, terrorist attacks, and suicides) which raise the death toll up to a million Iraqis and 9000 American soldiers.
Pelosi refused to bring charges in Congress against Bush war-crime violations against the constitution, because she abdicated her moral authority when she conspired along with the Bush admin and sen. biden in suppressing the truth in the actual intelligence briefings. Ergo, Biden's slip in 2002– "I can't tell you what I (am actually) think(ing). . . when in the 2002 senate hearing room he blatantly tried to conflate his justification for invasion as "due to"— "dire" need to confront "a real and imminent threat" AND "a cleansing effect" (ie: regime-change) a "free and democratic Iraq would have" (ie: on oil investments)— all said, in the same breath through both sides of his mouth.
Sen. Sanders was one of a few who told the truth and opposed the war vociferously from the beginning.
But it is not in his temperament either to cooperate with any potential extradition orders from the International Tribunal on Warcrimes (at the Hague). This fact betrays the contemporary lunacy of the hand-wringings over the "electability" argument. Just as a history sexual-predation and one documented assassination of a foreign enemy the US is not officially at war (violating the Ford Amendment)– should disqualify Trump as President . . .
By the same token, you'd think collusion in fabricating and spreading fake "intelligence", in the service of an illegal-war, would disqualify Biden to the nomination to be President; Just as Sen, Warren declared on debate-stage that Mayor Bloomberg's sustained and repeated acts (for several years) of deliberate official acts of racial-discrimination with malice-aforethought should disqualify Bloomberg. But, alas. . . we are more obsessed with self-righteous concern over "digital meanness" on Twitter, more so, than actual assault and lasting injury in NYC; Or, ACTUAL and DOCUMENTED murder and mayhem against NOT JUST one enemy General- but hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths– which renders our "democracy" artificial, feckless and banal.
As banal as a barely noticeable mild-mannered smirk.
Great video but can you get better narrator please?
Sadly, a majority of Americans have still learned NOTHING from the history.
America has been at war for 222 years out of the last 239…
The Majority of US Foreign Wars are actually based on LIES, False Flag and Propaganda.

U.S. Government, CIA and Corporate Propaganda Media have LIED to the American Public about the Majority of US Foreign Wars and Interventions.
According to the recently leaked "Afghanistan Papers",
Bush, Obama and Trump KNEW that Afghan War is UNWINNABLE in the first place,
but they have chose to LIE to the American Public to protect War Profiteers, Military Contractors, Military-Industrial Complex and Opium(Poppy) Field in Afghanistan.
They lied about USS Maine Implosion to Start US-Spanish War.
They lied about USS Liberty Explosion to hide Zionist Israeli Crimes.
They lied about Tonkin Gulf Incident to Invade Vietnam.
They lied about WMD to Invade Iraq.
and many more.

Our nation has become a bunch of warmongers.
"Jim Crow" Joe Biden is finished. You should focus on Mike "up against
the wall n*gga" Bloomberg and exposing him for the wicked S.O.B. that he
is. Good show(s).
