Media Matters Reports on more right-wing lies about what we knew/didn't know about Iraq's Infrastructure

Lowry baselessly pinned failures of Iraq postwar plan on faulty U.S. intelligence

In an August 5 speech before the Young America's Foundation's National Conservative Student Conference, National Review editor Rich Lowry falsely blamed intelligence failures for America's lack of planning for a postwar Iraq. He asserted that intelligence agencies harbored a vision of Iraq as the "most sophisticated, modern country in the Middle East," but "we had no idea of the nature of Iraqi institutions and society, ... no idea the electricity basically didn't work."(emphasis added)

Media Matters goes on to rightly debunk the "ignorance" argument.
