"I Resigned 23 Years Ago from the U.S. Government over the Bush War on Iraq …And Wish I Had More Resignations to Give!"

By Colonel (Ret.) Ann Wright - March 20, 2026

"On March 19, 2003, I resigned from the U.S. Department of State. I was the Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia, and the third U.S. government employee to resign in opposition to the U.S. war on Iraq.

I resigned on the day the Bush administration began the ten-year U.S. war on Iraq, March 19, 2003.
23 years later, I don’t regret my decision one bit

President Bush, like presidents before and after him, lied. His specific lie was about the reason for the U.S. to attack and kill hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.

In 2003, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Powell’s lie was about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction despite international weapons inspectors being clear in their statements that, after performing an exhaustive investigation, there were no weapons of mass destruction.

Instead, Bush was following the advisers who wrote the Project for a New American Century guidebook which called for the overthrow of seven countries in the Middle East, and Iraq was the first to be overthrown."

Even our second most stupid president, #GWBush, was able to get #rumsfeld, #Wolfowitz, and #cheney to invent their #weaponsofmassdestruction charade… #trump has no such brains in his cabinet to support his absurd claims. He should just admit that all it took was #Netanyahu to say “jump”with the added bonus of diverting media controversy from #epstein

Intel chief Gabbard declines to say if Iran posed an 'imminent threat' to U.S.

Today in Labor History March 17, 1968: The U.S. Army Chemical Corps killed over 6,000 sheep while illegally testing a nerve gas agent at the Dugway Proving Ground in Skull Valley, Utah. A 1998 report, the by Air Force Press was the "first documented admission" from the Army that a nerve agent killed the sheep at Skull Valley. The incident inspired Stephen King's novel “The Stand.”

I'M TAKING BETS on when we'll start hearing the word "Yellowcake" again. 🤦‍♂️
#Iran #Iraq2 #WeaponsOfMassDestruction

My God, it's #Iraq & #WeaponsOfMassDestruction all over again. 🤦‍♂️

#FnS this morning opens with maps showing SUSPECTED #uranium enrichment sites in #Iran to justify #OrangeHitler's unprovoked war.

I'M RIGHT AT THAT AGE where I was a grown adult when #Dubya invaded #Iraq under false pretenses claiming a #PreemptiveStrike was necessary b/c Saddam was amassing #WeaponsOfMassDestruction (lie) with a SecDef saying the war might only last 6days/weeks/months (only to go on for 9 years)…

…and now old enough to see/recognize history repeating itself with another failed idiot #Potus lying us into yet another MidEast war/not-a-war, that simply can't get its story straight.🤦‍♂️

--as Rumsfeld stated: on February 12, 2002, about the #LackOfEvidence linking the government of Iraq with the supply of #WeaponsOfMassDestruction to terrorist groups.

And ... AGAIN ... people are trotting out the lie that "no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq".

YES THEY WERE.

We collected 5,000 unreported Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in Iraq. They were chemical weapons (which the international treaty that establishes what counts as WMD states includes chemical weapons).

The warheads were collected and stored in a facility that was seized by ISIS in 2014.

It's unfortunate that this lie is being repeated by the U.S. News Media almost every day as they talk about the Trump administration's lies.

The Bush administration made some mistakes but their national intelligence assessment DID accurately project that we would find thousands of chemical warheads AND hundreds of tons of yellowcake uranium in Iraq.
