AIPAC Bristles at Obama’s Reminder of Iraq War Lobbying

Following
the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961, John F. Kennedy
famously told the gathered press corps that “victory has a hundred
fathers and defeat is an orphan.” Judging by the pushback against
President Obama’s comment yesterday that
the same people who created the “drumbeat of war” preceding the
invasion of Iraq are now working to kill the nuclear deal between six
world powers and Iran, the Iraq war is both a failure and an orphan.
Surprisingly, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC),
which plans to spend between $20 and $40 million to advocate against
the Iran deal, came out swinging, denying having taken any position on
the invasion of Iraq, in comments to The New York Times’ Julie Hirschfeld Davis.
