About Iraq on the Record
Presented by Rep. Henry A. Waxman

On March 19, 2003, U.S. forces began military operations in Iraq.
Addressing the nation about the purpose of the war on the day the bombing
began, President Bush stated: "The people of the United States and our
friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that
threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder." Two years later, many
doubts have been raised regarding the Administration's assertions about the
threat posed by Iraq.

Prepared at the direction of Rep. Henry A. Waxman, Iraq on the Record is a
searchable collection of 237 specific misleading statements made by Bush
Administration officials about the threat posed by Iraq. It contains
statements that were misleading based on what was known to the
Administration at the time the statements were made. It does not include
statements that appear mistaken only in hindsight. If a statement was an
accurate reflection of U.S. intelligence at the time it was made, it was
excluded even if it now appears erroneous. For more information on how the
statements were selected, see the full methodology. The Iraq on the Record
Report is a comprehensive examination of these statements.

Iraq on the Record is searchable by the the five Administration officials
most responsible for providing public information and shaping public
opinion on Iraq:


 President George W. Bush
 Vice President Dick Cheney
 Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
 Then-Secretary of State Colin Powell
 Then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice


It is also searchable by issue area:


 Iraq's Nuclear Capabilities
 Chemical and Biological Weapons
 Iraq and Al-Qaeda
 Iraq as an Urgent Threat


It is also searchable by keyword, such as "mushroom cloud", "uranium", or
"bin Laden."
