Exposing the “Clean Break” Myth: Israel Was Not Behind the Iraq War - With Dr. David Wurmser
Were the Jews Really Behind the Iraq War? David Wurmser Responds.
Dr. David Wurmser, former senior advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney and co-author of the infamous “Clean Break” memo, gives us a first-hand account.
