Hartenian's history of George W Bush propaganda for an invasion of
Iraq returns the administration's approach to its conceptual
origins. Hartenian places "evidence" in the center of his analysis,
showing that Rumsfeld's "the absence of evidence is not evidence of
absence" meant that no evidence was necessary to justify an
invasion. The 9/11 attacks, indeed, "changed everything" for the
Bush administration and in its aftermath the time for regime change
in Iraq had simply come. With no good evidence to support its
fears, the administration was certain of a post-9/11-conceived
Iraq-al Qaeda "nexus," just as with no evidence except the "absence
of evidence" it was certain of Iraqi mastery of "denial and
deception" that hid "Saddam's" "evil" activities. Resting on
Cheney's "one percent doctrine," administration "certainty" of the
threat from Iraq required a US invasion. The policy offices of
Douglas Feith at the Pentagon, with the help of George Tenet at
CIA, would generate a case of such fright and enormity-the
"mushroom cloud"-that required administration action. Manipulating
intelligence and ignoring the growing body of evidence undermining
its case, the Bush administration invaded Iraq to bring about
"regime change."
