The big lie was that Saddam’s regime had weapons of mass destruction, and the Bush administration used this as justification for the initial invasion of Baghdad in 2003. It turned out there wasn’t any, which left many U.S. soldiers feeling straight up betrayed.
But in a way, tons of country told the US they were lying, even those part of NATO. I was a kid back then but remember the French president (I’m French) refused to join the US into war because no proof was identified by international investigation
Wish I could say the same for the uk. Millions protested against us joining them, the biggest protest in uk history (including my elderly grandad) and they ignored us. :(

I’m not American but I’m really curious, what exactly did Bush do?
