This should have happened in 2001 when the US tried to strongarm support for it's invasion of Iraq under false pretenses.

I was watching it from afar. As I recall, he bailed on his presentation and got back to it after being talked to (and threatened?) and presented his schlock. Now, not saying the guy was at all blameless, but I watched him presenting and thought to myself, ‘this guy doesn’t believe this stuff at all’.

It pissed me off that the folks in the US were not seeing the whole picture.
