Keeper

This is a keeper. I filed it under 'Politics'.

My favorite is from March 17, 2003:
With little international support, the U.S., Britain and Spain officially scrap the quest to obtain a new U.N. resolution on Iraq. Four and a half months have passed since U.N. Resolution 1441, and a new resolution would signal the world's belief that Iraq had failed the terms of that resolution and now faced the consequences. The 'Coalition of the Willing' announces it will enforce the U.N. resolution without the U.N.'s approval.

Lie by Lie: The Mother Jones Iraq War Timeline (8/1/90 - 6/21/03)


In this timeline, we've assembled the history of the Iraq War to create a resource we hope will help resolve open questions of the Bush era. What did our leaders know and when did they know it? And, perhaps just as important, what red flags did we miss, and how could we have missed them? This is the second installment of the timeline, with a focus on how the war was lost in the first 100 days.
