Review

one could say that this documentary, which follows the history of the iraq war, is a bunch of second-guessing and negativism, and they would be partially right, but mostly missing the point. the point of the film is to demonstrate how ideologically motivated, and intellectually closed-minded, the bush administration is. i don’t think that the film is going to convert very many people, but even the most ardent bush supporters would be hard pressed to rebut the many short-comings of the administration of the war. in many cases it appears as though there were competent people in high places making smart recommendations, but many of these recommendations fell on deaf ears. it’s a good summary of the war logistics so it’s valuable in that regard, but many of these documentaries are just preaching to the choir.
