.@SenSchumer is the third Senate Democratic Leader in a row to have voted for the invasion of Iraq, and it’s not clear, given his opposition to the #IranDeal, that he’s learned anything. And why should he?

The media feared being seen as unpatriotic so we pretended to support a war most of us saw as unnecessary & dangerous. Right before the invasion, I asked 12 journos in Kuwait if any of us thought Saddam had WMD. Only one (the highest paid, interestingly) thought he did.

I covered the invasion for NBC. Then I worked for Fox' Baghdad bureau. Surprisingly, the Fox bureau was more honest (and less optimistic) than NBC, partly because we were good journalists but mostly because we couldn't be accused of being "on the side of the terrorists".
