The same hawks who lied about the nuclear threat from Saddam
Hussein’s Iraq before President George W. Bush invaded in 2003 are
loudly trying to derail President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran.
“Doesn’t this sound familiar,” begins a short video
by Brave New Films that highlights the neo-cons’ return, followed by
side-by-side quotes from before the invasion of Iraq and rants against
an Iran deal. “They are trying to sabotage international negotiations.”
As the video shows, history can repeat itself.
There’s
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying a decade ago that “a
nuclear-armed Saddam will place the security of our whole world at
risk,” and in his address to the Congress last month, “So too, Iran’s
regime poses a grave threat to the peace of the entire world.”
There’s
then-Rep. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, in 2001 reciting the lie that Saddam
had “procured materials that could only be used in nuclear weapons,” and
today saying, as a U.S. senator, “They tried to create a nuclear
program, not a peaceful nuclear power plant. They are the enemy of us.”
