Dr. James Ludes, Executive Director of the American Security Project (ASP), discusses the foreign policy lessons learned in Iraq with Colin McEnroe on WNPR Connecticut. Dr. Ludes details the decision-making process leading up to American intervention in Iraq, and he argues that the Bush Administration made a policy decision about regime change and then constructed a case for Saddam Hussein’s connection to al Qaeda and possession of weapons of mass destruction in order to implement their plan. He draws implications for public opinion, the role of the media and healthy “skepticism,” as well as American force projection abroad in places like Afghanistan and Haiti.
