Wartime Witch Hunt: Blaming Israel for the Iraq War

Wartime Witch Hunt: Blaming Israel for the Iraq War

June 3, 2004 | Amb. Dore Gold
An insidious but steady drumbeat can be discerned over the last several weeks charging that the primary interest of the Bush administration in going to war against Saddam Hussein was to defend Israeli security interests.
