About Iraq on the Record

Presented by Rep. Henry A. Waxman

 

On March 19, 2003, U.S. forces began military operations in Iraq.

Addressing the nation about the purpose of the war on the day the

bombing began, President Bush stated: " The people of the United States

and our friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw

regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder. " Two

years later, many doubts have been raised regarding the

Administration's assertions about the threat posed by Iraq.

 

Prepared at the direction of Rep. Henry A. Waxman, Iraq on the Record

is a searchable collection of 237 specific misleading statements made

by Bush Administration officials about the threat posed by Iraq. It

contains statements that were misleading based on what was known to

the Administration at the time the statements were made. It does not

include statements that appear mistaken only in hindsight. If a

statement was an accurate reflection of U.S. intelligence at the time

it was made, it was excluded even if it now appears erroneous. For

more information on how the statements were selected, see the full

methodology. The Iraq on the Record Report is a comprehensive

examination of these statements.

 

Iraq on the Record is searchable by the the five Administration

officials most responsible for providing public information and

shaping public opinion on Iraq:

 

President George W. Bush

Vice President Dick Cheney

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld

Then-Secretary of State Colin Powell

Then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice

 

It is also searchable by issue area:

 

Iraq's Nuclear Capabilities

Chemical and Biological Weapons

Iraq and Al-Qaeda

Iraq as an Urgent Threat

 

It is also searchable by keyword, such as " mushroom cloud " , " uranium " ,

or " bin Laden. "
