Iraq: The Case for War
The scandal:
Bush and many officials in his administration made false statements
about Iraq's military capabilities, in the months before the United
States' March 2003 invasion of the country.

The problem:
For one thing, it is a crime to lie to Congress, although Bush backers
claim the president did not knowingly make false assertions.
The outcome:
A war spun out of control with unknowable long-term consequences.
The Iraq Survey Group has stopped looking for weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq.
