"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."
