Last Call:  Iraq War Invasion…20 Years On 

From Rachel: Bush broke the fucking world and is still an idiot. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/bush-didnt-know-there-wer_n_26528

Fox News was the war’s most important mouthpiece; war on terror came at a time when the nascent network needed to galvanize Bush’s narrow support.
