No End in Sight
The story of the American invasion of Iraq.
Chronological look at the fiasco in Iraq, especially decisions made in the spring of 2003 - and the backgrounds of those making decisions immediately following the overthrow of Saddam: no occupation plan, an inadequate team to run the country, insufficient troops to keep order, and three edicts from the White House announced by Bremmer when he took over: no provisional Iraqi government, de-Ba'athification, and disbanding the Iraqi armed services.
The film has chapters (from History to Consequences), and the talking heads are reporters, academics, soldiers, military brass, and former Bush-administration officials, including several who were in Baghdad in 2003.

How can such poor decision makers be in charge of a whole country is beyond me.

(Meant to post this as well) Extremely well done documentary. Although documentaries of this sort seem to be prolific nowdays. One of the many sobering parts was where the breakdown the total cost of the Iraq war, close to 2 Trillion dollars all said and done.

And it will likely be far more because the sitting president is doing all he can to make certain that the occupation will last deep into the next president's administration. The though being that his legacy won't look so bad by comparison.
But the biggest disgrace and most offensive portion of this war to me is the tax cuts and borrowing every penny to have paid for it. Count on at least triple actual the expenditures with interest over time.
