Arthur Silber: Fight for a Lie

[MUCH MORE from Iraq veterans here.]

Iraq war veteran Army Sgt. John Bruhns:

I participated in the invasion, stayed in Iraq for a year afterward, and what I witnessed was the total opposite of what President Bush and his administration stated to the American people.

The invasion was very confusing, and so was the period of time I spent in Iraq afterward. At first it did seem as if some of the Iraqi people were happy to be rid of Saddam Hussein. But that was only for a short period of time.
