No End in Sight. I recommend this one as it is very unbiased. It presents the facts and I was quite astonished at the facts. I also like that it did not assign motives to anyone so you can make up your mind about those.

I do have question though for those of you out there who know about these things.........

What was the reason given at the time for the disbanding of the Iraqi military in 2003? This was discussed at great length, but the reason was never given. Maybe because the few people who made the decision never gave a reason? I know those people all refused to be interviewed for this documentary.

I will tell you this. There is more to the "Whole" story starting from way back then. We the people have been miss led about a lot of things for along time about Iraq and Iran.

Yes, this documentary covers some time going back and looking at some of the events that led up to this particular war. I was more than a little surprised to see how it all played out. I'm one of those who bought into the President's message hook, line and sinker about doing this for the benefit of the poor Iraqis.

the movie doesn't make any conclusions for you. It just shows you the decisions made, who made them, who opposed them, in what order they were made, etc. Then you decide. There's A LOT of things we have been misled on when it comes to all this.

We put a lot into Saddam back when Iran took those hostages. I personally seen what was going on and it continued well into the Reagan years.

I'm sure you did. I found it ironic how much we helped Iran by ousting Saddam and destroying Iraq.

Ive seen it for along time. We have a habit of playing to many hands. The "Iraq Conspiracy" goes way back before Bush..Bush was just the puppet that pulled the strings
