How Bush Sacrifaced the War on Al Queda for the War on Iraq

Democracy Now -- Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh details how the Bush Administration destroyed U.S.-Syrian relations by attacking a convoy of cars inside Syria last month in an attempt to assassinate Saddam Hussein. It turned out the convoy was made up of dozens smuggling goods out of Iraq. Syria has since stopped sharing intelligence with the U.S.

According to a report by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh, the attack came after the Bush had already destroyed U.S.-Syrian relations. Although it is not widely known outside intelligence circles, Syria, since 9/11, offered to provide Washington with key information on the war on terror. But Bush's handling of Iraq, led Syria to cut off the offer.
