george w bush and the invasion of iraq. so the book was published to coincide with the anniversary of the war. but you've been working on this book a quite a while. you seemed reluctant, as you stated in your preface, to take on this project to begin with. why? well, i was reluctant for two reasons. first, i was trying to finish up work that i was doing on the evolution of the cold war topic of which i've written a great deal about. and secondly, and most importantly, i was reluctant to take it on because it was really contemporary history and the availability of primary source documents would be very limited. i'm a historian who has spent his career in the archives with hundreds and hundreds of archival boxes of documents. and i knew for certain that i would never have access to such documents. in writing this type of a book. and so i was very reluctant to undertake it until i met a former member of the bush administration who talked to me about the possible kitty of setting up interviews. and i can discuss that further, i

bush. mrs. purchase humor and attitude toward what is important in life are clearly shown in a speech. she made at wellesley college on june 1st 1990. she had not been the first choice and her selection caused controversy on the campus. let's see and hear some of her speech. and diana now, i know your first choice today was alice walker. guess how i know. known for the color purple instead. you got me known for the color of my hair and as you said off from wellesley, i hope that many of you will consider. making three very special choices the first is to believe in something larger than yourself to get involved in some of the big ideas of our time i chose literacy because i honestly believe that if more people could read write and comprehend we would be that much closer to solving so many of the problems that plague our nation and our society. early on i made another choice, which i hope you'll make as well whether you're talking about education career or service. you're talking about life and l

bush he provided bush with intelligence briefings and other services and support even when the election was contested, really only up until the last election was this a contentious issue. so i'm hopeful that we can get back to the nonpartisan, bipartisan nature of presidential transitions. if trump were to run, i think all bets are off twice. he has allowed people under him essentially to play on effectively, organize effectively, and once the election was held, basically threw everything out and impeded the. so hopefully we can get back to the nonpartisan, bipartisan of this handover of power. but we'll see what happens in the next year or two. but he still has such a grip on republican party, and we're seeing that with the midterms. you know, so many of the people are running in congressional races or grew up in a morial races, sort of hallmark for the republican in the stamp of approval is bet on this idea that you think the election that biden did not actually win the election so i guess it is a republican wide fairly wide in the republican party i guess what does that mean forget t

i mean the bush administration, president bush, the intelligence community and the like. but you begin your book by a relatively detailed biography of saddam hussein. and you sort of spin out what you thought that was important to begin the book? >> yes. first of all thanks for inviting me. it's quite a delight to be here with bob kagan and stephen hadley to discuss such an important issue. i did begin my book with a chapter on saddam hussein because i think it's impossible to really understand the iraq war without grasping who saddam hussein was, what he had done, and the image he cast across iraq, across the middle east region, and really across the globe. i wanted people to understand saddam hussein's ascent to power in the 1970s. i did portray some of his with significant successes in the 1970s when he nationalized the petroleum companies and usually -- hugely enhanced the revenues of the iraqi government, and to use those revenues to promote a great deal of literacy, medical care, made a tremendous effort to stimulate industrialization, bring about agrarian reform. t

bush's role in that. do do you mind sharing some of the points that you said kind of validated the october surprise as something that actually i don't mind sharing it and thank you for that question because that's that's one of the major things researched and researched and put in the book is still controversial and controversy generates discussion and question what happened to our kids. i say if i can sum it up quickly, the iranians still hold 52 american hostages, and carter was trying desperately to get them out without losing military force. don't. he said he would do it if he had. and nothing seemed and nothing seemed to be working. they were afraid that the democrats would pull it out to. the surprise by getting the hostages right before the election, which would mean that carter would have been reelected and statistically, carter in the polls, carter and reagan were neck and neck carter occasionally a little a little bit ahead. and this one of the things i learned about in great detail in the reaga

bush had, a kind of quiet persiste charisma. it was not bill, it was not john kennedy's, but it was this sense that he was interested in. you in a genuine way. it wasn't put on exactly. and he had these big hands. and this is a case of plutarch and being in the room with him. and he was he was a lefty and he talked with the big hand. he talked with his hand and i thought there's some gap here between, you know, somebody out this drama, the the bush drama, and then being the room with him and, you know, he was tall and big, tall. and the bush family was very important. and he used to call people little guy like gorbachev. yeah, good little guy. and the challenge to your question, panel, the challenge was i didn't fall in love, george bush, but i did to love him. and that's different. and the last story about this is it took 17 years to write this? it was supposed to be posthumous, but the son of a -- wouldn't die. i'd it up. he'd say, not going to do it. when it was all done. he at that point he had a form of parkinson's. and so

amy: you call president bush a terrorist? >> i call president bush a terrorist.e around him terrorists as well -- condoleezza rice, rumsfeld, gonzales in the justice department, and certainly cheney. i think all of these men sit -- and women -- sit in the midst of an enormous conspiracy that has been unraveling america for the last eight years -- six years. it is tragic that the dubious way in which this president acquired power should have begun to unravel the constitution and the peoples of this country. yes, i say that there are people in this country who live in terror. poverty is terror. having your social security threatened is terror. having your livelihood as an elderly person slowly disappearing with no replenishment is terror. students who are dropping out of school because there are no resources to keep us in school is terror. you find people in the streets, watching drugs permeate our communities and destroy our young, it's a life of terror. and men who sit in charge of that distribution mechanism, which can help the american people overcome these pro
