7:26Now PlayingWe discuss the situation in Iraq with Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Glenn Greenwald. In a recent article for The Intercept, "U.S. 'Humanitarian' Bombing of IraqA Redundant Presidential Ritual," Greenwald reviews news headlines related to U.S. military action in Iraq over the past two decades. He cites a 1991 New York Times headline, "U.S. and Allies Open Air War on Iraq; Bomb Baghdad and Kuwaiti Targets; 'No Choice' But Force, Bush Declares," and a CNN headline from 2003 titled, "Blair Likens Saddam to Hitler." Then, closer to the present, he cites a Daily Beast story titled, "ISIS 'Worse Than Al Qaeda,' Says Top State Department Official."
