The Iraq War Was Sold on a Lie | The Truth About Oil and Power

In 2003, the United States invaded Iraq to stop weapons of mass destruction — weapons that were never found. So why did the war happen anyway?This documentary-style episode breaks down how the Iraq War was sold to the American public, how intelligence was shaped to build support, and how oil, power, and strategy quietly influenced the decision to invade. Using documented evidence and historical analysis, we examine what Americans were told, what policymakers knew, and why wars fought over resources leave lasting damage.This is the story of how a modern war was justified — and what the consequences still mean today.
