1) A drone has destroyed a Pakistani orphanage after mistaking it for an al-Qaeda training camp. There were no survivors. 2) Leaked documents reveal that the NSA has eavesdropped on the phone conversations of Russian President Vladimir Putin for the past five years. Putin is not pleased. 3) A 60 Minutes report uncovered evidence that the CIA armed a rebel group in Syria without presidential authorization. Even more troubling, the report suggests the group might have ties to ISIS. Imagine you’re a speechwriter for the President and craft the perfect lie to explain, dismiss, and/or otherwise distract from these troubling developments. Write your essay in the form of a speech to be delivered by the President to the American people. In a brief (one paragraph) epilogue, explain which of Mearsheimer’s “seven lies” your speech represents. The essay should be approximately 3 pages long. This assignment based on the book Why Leaders Lie: The Truth About Lying in International Politics 1st Edition by John J. Mearsheimer. ISBN: 978-0199975457. I want this to be an original paper. It doesn’t matter to me which scenarios you use, but I think that it must include at least two types of Mearsheimer’s seven lies.
