How the War Was Lost in 100 Days
Lie by Lie: The Mother Jones Iraq War Timeline (8/1/90 - 6/21/03)
In this timeline, we've assembled the history of the Iraq War to create a resource we hope will help resolve open questions of the Bush era. What did our leaders know and when did they know it? And, perhaps just as important, what red flags did we miss, and how could we have missed them? This is the second installment of the timeline, with a focus on how the war was lost in the first 100 days.

Quiz: What do Rolling Stone and Zbigniew Brzezinski have in common?
Answer: Their praise for Mother Jones’ Iraq War Timeline, “Lie by Lie” – the print and online tool that helps readers and journalists track the White House deceptions, falsehoods and blunders that led the United States into war in Iraq. I'm writing today to let you know that Mother Jones has just published the second installment of the Timeline -- “How to Lose a War in 100 Days." Check it out!
The first installment of the Timeline, was met with near-universal praise.
Rolling Stone says, “Mother Jones magazine has assembled a complete timeline of deceptions told by the White House and other neocons- download the interactive “Lie by Lie” guide!”
Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor, wrote us to say thanks for “the very historically significant timeline regarding the Iraqi war.”
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. told us, "You have done a national service here."
The Huffington Post called it “an incredible resource.”
“How to Lose a War . . .” chronicles the chaos and incompetence that characterized the first weeks of the occupation, further jeopardizing chances for peace and stability in Iraq. It is a terrific sequel, foreshadowing so much of what we’re seeing play out in the news today.
No one else in the media has attempted this.
We need to raise a total of $55,000 to make the Timeline current, and we’ve received about a third of what we need.
That's why I’m asking you and other friends in our network to make a special gift to the Mother Jones Investigative Fund in support of this important project. Click here.
