The engines of unarmored Humvees whirred on the Kuwait-Iraq border, readied for a mission to find weapons of mass destruction that would never be accomplished.
Brandon Friedman, then an Army officer helping oversee a company of soldiers, cracked open his journal 16 years ago Wednesday. “After dark we listened to the cruise missiles fly overhead,” he wrote on March 20, 2003. U.S. troops swarmed the capital less than two weeks later. Baghdad fell. And then, a realization became widespread among troops tasked with keeping the city from losing its mind.
“It was clear within days there were no weapons of mass destruction,” Friedman said Wednesday. “Personally, I felt like we had been used.”
Friedman recalled that feeling on the war’s anniversary. So did Ari Fleischer, President George W. Bush’s press secretary, who became the public face for justifying the war.
In a 22-tweet monologue Tuesday night, Fleischer sought to knock down a conception that the administration lied its way into one of the 21st century’s most significant security blunders.
