No end in sight alright!
Wow, I'm the first one to review this documentary. It was an arresting essay on what went wrong with the war in Iraq, focusing mainly on the events leading up to and immediately following the first months of the war in 2003. It's extremely well structured, with an introduction, a middle, and a conclusion. Needless to say, it's a toss-up between Rumsfeld and Bremer for the most idiotically responsible for the mess that Iraq has become. The events are presented in chronological order, which puts things in excellent perspective to better refresh our memories, with tons of war footage and interviews with soldiers, journalists, and high-ranking government officials involved with the (poor) planning and (poor) execution of the war. I mean, by the time we are told that an American girl right out of college with no municipal planning experience was given the task to create Baghdad's new traffic plan, we can only feel angrier at our government and sorrier for the Iraqis.
