NO END IN SIGHT was probably the most significant Documentary on the Iraq misadventure because it is not simply rhetoric and finger wagging; rather it is point blank condemnation by insiders....here is a repost of my crappy attempt at a "movie review" below ------------------------------------------------------- Just saw the local screening of No End in Sight. This movie was very detailed in it's expose of the numerous blunders that set the Iraq occupation into it's current quagmire. What makes this film so significant is that it is not simply the statements of critics, rather, it is the scathing criticism from the insiders (gov't military, civilian, and Iraqis themselves) which indicates that current administration squandered it's position after the overthrow, and blew many opportunities to make a lasting improvement/change in Iraq. The mistakes made were not simply circumstantial, rather, it appears that the administration (with emphasis on Cheney/Rumsfeld) did just the opposite of almost all the advice given to him by people put in charge of acquiring information and developing plans to deal with different circumstances. This movie will leave you with a great understanding of how bad the aftermath of the war was/is being handled, and how the Iraqi citizens went from supporting the effort to resenting it as their lives deteriorated due to mismanagement by the U.S. This film is not as stylish or filled with black humor as a Michael Moore film, but is filled with insider assessment which will leave you dumbfounded at how this thing was botched so badly. So much good information by so many talented people went unacted upon, almost as if just to spite those who did not fit the administrations predetermined agenda. If you would like to understand the actual reasons we are "losing" in Iraq, see this documentary! WIJ
