US President Donald Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, launched a scathing attack on the previous Democratic administration and denounced the invasion of Iraq.
Gabbard said in her speech during her confirmation hearing as National Director of Intelligence in the Trump administration that “the complete failure of intelligence by the administration of former President George W. Bush was responsible for the US-led invasion of the Middle Eastern country.”
She pointed out that “for too long, faulty, insufficient, or weaponized intelligence has led to too many costly failures and undermined our national security and the freedoms that God gave us and are enshrined in the Constitution.”
She continued, “The most glaring example of one of these failures is our invasion of Iraq based on a complete fabrication or failure of intelligence.”
Gabbard criticized the US attack on Iraq, describing it as “a disastrous decision that led to the deaths of tens of thousands of American soldiers, millions of people in the Middle East, mass migration, destabilization, the undermining of the security and stability of our European allies, the rise of ISIS, and the strengthening of Al Qaeda.”
