On September 12, 2002, Benjamin Netanyahu testified before the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, claiming removing Saddam Hussein would have "enormous positive reverberations" across the Middle East, a key pretext for the preemptive Iraq War strongly supported by the Bush administration and Blair's government.This narrative was bolstered by flawed intelligence, notably the debunked claim that Iraq sought uranium from Niger, which was used to justify the 2003 invasion.The prediction proved overly optimistic, as the region faced prolonged instability, resulting in nearly a quarter million Iraqi civilian deaths, more than 8,000 U.S. and coalition service member deaths, and countless others with lifelong psychological trauma.Bush lied, people died.
Bibi lied, people died.
Blair lied, people died.
