| Subject: We Learned During The Iraq War That Administrations "Manipulate" Evidence For War Sun Jan 05, 2020 7:24 pm | |
| Sen. Chris Van Hollen warned that Americans should learn the lesson of the Iraq War when it comes to Iran. "I think we learned the hard way in the Iraq War that administrations sometimes manipulate and cherry-pick intelligence to further their political goals, that’s what got us into the Iraq War, there were no WMDs," Van Hollen said on “Fox News Sunday.” "They have an obligation to present the intelligence, they did not notify the 'Gang of Eight,'" Van Hollen said. "One opportunity they had just two days ago to brief senior staff at the top-secret level [and] they provided no evidence to support their claim of an imminent threat." "Everybody knows that Soleimani was a very bad despicable guy, but the claim of an imminent threat they have not supported and what we do know is this dramatic escalation is now putting Americans at greater risk," he added.
