Buying the war- Notes

Film starts with clear introduction.
Concerns and deals with the war on terror, specifically the War in Iraq .
Being with 9/11 and the events leading into and after the act.
The citizens were looking for answers and closure to their questions. Devastated that a terrorists act an happen on US soil.
Wanted and looked to put blame on someone- the government and media outlets chose to put it on Iraq
The White House made assumptions that they possessed weapons of mass destruction.
The made ties to anything that the UN reports found to try and make is seem ad if Iraq had WMD
"Tubes". Story swept the nation
The White House gave official interviews on news outlets in order to convince citizens and viewers that Iraq is a threat.
Washington Post very influential
Stories were constantly being repeated constantly
Rumors are said that there were designated reporters that Bush would call on during interviews
Never gave a clear answer for why they feel like they went to war
The White House clearly manipulated the entire situation, fueled by the media.
