On 9/11 I saw former CIA Director James Woolsey on CBS say that the United States needed to strike Iraq even if it wasn’t involved in the terrorist attack. This stuck with me. In 2002 the Bush administration began its public campaign to build support for the invasion of Iraq. Together this motivated me to start researching the topic to try to understand why the U.S. was about to go to war. In 2008 this culminated in me starting the Musings On Iraq blog. 17 years later I’m still plugging away publishing something every day. I would like to thank all the people that helped me along the way and all the people that read my work.
