  • The Regime Change Consensus: Iraq in American Politics, 1990-2003
    THE REGIME CHANGE CONSENSUS: IRAQ IN AMERICAN POLITICS, 1990-2003 Joseph Stieb A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Wayne Lee Michael Morgan Benjamin Waterhouse Daniel Bolger Hal Brands ©2019 Joseph David Stieb ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joseph David Stieb: The Regime Change Consensus: Iraq in American Politics, 1990-2003 (Under the direction of Wayne Lee) This study examines the containment policy that the United States and its allies imposed on Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War and argues for a new understanding of why the United States invaded Iraq in 2003. At the core of this story is a political puzzle: Why did a largely successful policy that mostly stripped Iraq of its unconventional weapons lose support in American politics to the point that the policy itself became less effective? I argue that, within intellectual and policymaking circles, a claim steadily emerged that the only solution to the Iraqi threat was regime change and democratization. While this “regime change consensus” was not part of the original containment policy, a cohort of intellectuals and policymakers assembled political support for the idea that Saddam’s personality and the totalitarian nature of the Baathist regime made Iraq uniquely immune to “management” strategies like containment. The entrenchment of this consensus before 9/11 helps explain why so many politicians, policymakers, and intellectuals rejected containment after 9/11 and embraced regime change and invasion.

  • NO BIAS, NO BULL Aired March 31, 2009
    CAMPBELL BROWN: NO BIAS, NO BULL President Obama Visits Europe; Political Football Aired March 31, 2009 - 20:00 ET THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. ROLAND MARTIN, CNN ANCHOR: Hi, everyone. President Barack Obama is in England tonight, far from the turmoil here at home. But this is no vacation. The president has something to prove. He needs to show the world that America is ready to lead again. He will face a group of folks who are, frankly, mad as hell at the United States for the global economic meltdown. They're facing their own political pressures at home, and they're not looking to play nice about how our economy has affected them. And we haven't even delved into Afghanistan, folks, a tough job for any president, even one with big public support going for him, both at home and abroad. The trick is to use that as leverage and produce some real results. We start tonight with senior White House correspondent Ed Henry traveling with the president in London. So, Ed, this is not a sightseeing tour. The president has got a lot of work to do. ED HENRY, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: He really does. Tomorrow, he has got to get up early. He's got one-on-one meetings, his first time he will be face to face with the presidents of Russia and China, a lot there on the economy, but also on national security, of course. And then he is going to be sitting down with the British prime minister, Gordon Brown, getting ready for this G-20 summit.
