Description

Kelley Vlahos returns to the show to talk about some of the writers, pundits and government advisors most responsible for the invasion of Iraq twenty years ago. Vlahos wrote an article highlighting three awful reflections about the war written recently by some of its biggest cheerleaders—David Frum, Eli Lake and Max Boot. They also discussed a symposium organized by Responsible Statecraft which asked a range of historians, journalists and authors to name the most underrated player responsible for bringing about the war and explain why. 
Discussed on the show:

“Setting the record straight on the teeming media swamp that supported Iraq” (Responsible Statecraft)

“Symposium: Aside from Bush & Cheney who is at fault for the Iraq War?” (Responsible Statecraft)
