Steve Bannon, on his podcast, criticized Fox News and former President George W. Bush for misleading the American public, leading to prolonged conflicts in the Middle East. He argues that false narratives, rather than intelligence failures, were the true cause behind U.S. military actions, notably in Iraq. Bannon expresses concern that the U.S. is being pushed towards conflict with Iran and emphasizes the need for honest discussion about military involvement and the consequences faced by American families. He also denounces Israel's expectations of U.S. military support without substantial justification.
We got American troops in Iraq? Why? Bannon said. Because Fox News and all of them and Bush lied to us. Lied! This was not a failure of intelligence it was bald-faced lies.
It wasn't a failure of intelligence, or we made some bad calculations. It was bald-faced lies. Let's talk like adults today.
Stop the forever wars because your sons and daughters are fighting them, just like your sons and daughters going to be fighting this one.
So if we're going to do it this time, let's have an adult conversation. Do not come here and say, Oh, we've got to protect America. Then get them out.
