  • The Fraudulent War, Was Assembled in 2008
    Explanatory note The presentation to follow, entitled The Fraudulent War, was assembled in 2008. It documents the appalling duplicity and criminality of the George W. Bush Administration in orchestrating the so-called “global war on terror.” A sordid story, virtually none of it ever appeared in the mainstream media in the U.S. Given the intensity of the anti-war movement at the time, the presentation enjoyed some limited exposure on the Internet. But anti-war sentiment was challenged in 2009 by Barack Obama's indifference to his predecessor's criminality, when the new president chose “to look forward, not backward.” The “war on terror” became background noise. The Fraudulent War was consigned to an archive on the ColdType website, a progressive publication in Toronto edited by Canadian Tony Sutton. There it faded from view. Enter CodePink and the People's Tribunal on the Iraq War. Through testimony and documentation the truth of the travesty was finally disclosed, and the record preserved in the Library of Congress. Only CodePink's initiative prevented the Bush crimes from disappearing altogether, and no greater public service could be rendered. The Fraudulent War was relevant once more. It was clearly dated, the author noted, but facts remained facts. Richard W. Behan, November, 2016 ------------------------------------------------- The author—a retired professor—was outraged after reading a book in 2002 subtitled, “The Case for Invading Iraq.” Unprovoked aggression is prohibited by the United Nations charter, so he took to his keyboard and the Common Dreams website in vigorous dissent. Within months thereafter George Bush indeed invaded the sovereign nation of Iraq, committing an international crime.

    Non-proliferation and the Dilemmas of Regime Change 7 Non-proliferation and the Dilemmas of Regime Change ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Robert S. Litwak The Iraq war set an important historical precedent by being the first case in which forcible regime change was the means employed to achieve non- proliferation ends. In advocating this unique use of force, the Bush administration asserted that Iraq’s disarmament, mandated by the United Nations Security Council after the 1991 Gulf War, necessitated regime change because of Saddam Hussein’s unrelenting drive to acquire weapons of mass destruction (WMD).1 Although the US and British governments endeavoured to make the case for war based on international law – the Iraqi dictator’s flouting of multiple Security Council resolutions – war was ultimately waged without a legitimising UN imprimatur because of the political deadlock over the inherently contentious issue of regime change. Instead the military action was widely characterised in the American media as a decisive, even paradigmatic, application of the Bush administration’s September 2002 National Security Strategy document, which had formally elevated preemption as a policy option against ‘rogue states’ and terrorist groups in the post-11 September era.2 Viewed through that political optic, the war’s successful ousting of Saddam Hussein from power in April 2003 immediately raised the question as to how this precedent-setting case would affect US non-proliferation policy in addressing other hard cases. President George W. Bush laid down an ambitious marker when he boldly declared that the United States would not ‘tolerate’ the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran and North Korea – the other two charter members of his ‘axis of evil’ (now dubbed by one observer as the ‘axle of evil’).

  • President Bush and the Invasion of Iraq: Presidential Leadership and Thwarted Goals
    From James McCormick, ed., The Domestic Sources of American Foreign Policy, 6th ed. (Roman & Littlefield, 2018), pp. 361-380. President Bush and the Invasion of Iraq: Presidential Leadership and Thwarted Goals James P. Pfiffner George Mason University The 2003 Iraq War is a case study in winning the military battle but losing the war. President George W. Bush demonstrated impressive political skills in taking the country to war, despite the reservations of former generals, members of his father’s administration and the doubts of contemporary military leaders. But President Bush’s political victory in taking the country to war and the quick military defeat of Saddam’s army were undercut by a long post-war insurgency in Iraq, the rise of Iran’s influence in the Middle East, and the establishment of ISIS in a broken Iraq. This case study will examine President Bush’s campaign for war, his use of intelligence to make his case, and the longer-term consequences of the war. Many factors determine a decision to go to war, and in the United States, the personality and character of the president as leader of the country and commander in chief of the armed forces, are particularly important. To be sure, Congress is constitutionally the institution that must “declare war,” but political and governmental dynamics most often favor the president. The president has the advantage of being a single decision maker directing the many bureaucracies that gather intelligence and prepare for war. Virtually all intelligence available to Congress originates in executive branch agencies. Publicly, the president can command the attention of the media and strongly shape public perceptions of the national security situation of the United States.

  • Report on Failure of Compliance with Article 20 Prohibiting Propaganda for War
    REPORT ON FAILURE OF COMPLIANCE WITH ARTICLE 20 PROHIBITING PROPAGANDA FOR WAR prepared for the UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHT COMMITTEE Eighty-seventh session for its review of the Second and Third Periodic Report of the United States of America under the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights June 2006 INTRODUCTION This report regarding United States violations of Article 20, paragraph one, is submitted to the Committee to inform and support its consideration of the paramount issues the Committee requested the United States to address in its written and oral presentation to the Committee in July, 2006. Article 20 of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights implicitly recognizes that the condition of war jeopardizes the integrity and exercise of all of the political and civil rights elsewhere declared in the Covenant. The Committee has expressed concern and requested clarification of actions and policies of the United States which are in apparent violation of even the core, non-derogable protections States Parties undertake to assure under the treaty. The US government has sought to justify its actions and policies on the basis of the “war on terror” and the exigencies of its illegal war in Iraq. Because of the pervasive impact of war the propaganda campaign prohibited by Article 20, the fear and xenophobia it stoked, and the resulting illegal war have all contributed to violations, both here and abroad, of many other rights protected by this Covenant including articles 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 19, 21, 24, 26 and 27. The non-governmental organizations which have prepared this report regarding US violation of Article 20 are filing it with the Committee in order to bring greater visibility and attention to the full significance and implications of the Covenant’s prohibition of propaganda for war.

This project aims to add to existing discussions by providing a more comprehensive understanding of the war. Using neoclassical realism as its analytical lens, this project argues that the 2003 Iraq War occurred largely as a result of American hegemony combined with the effects of the September 11 terror attacks on the George W.
