DVD Reviews of No End in Sight
DVD Review: Everyone and their mother is a war critic. We went to IRAQ for WMD and to free its people, not for OIL OR PROFIT!
Summary: 1 Stars
The Iraq war is the most controversial debate of the 2000s. Some say we went to free its people , some say it was for Oil, some say it was for Halliburton... whatever your stance is just remember that Iraq is now free and liberated.
Back in 2001 the Iraqis stole 2 planes and attacked the twin towers in New York because they hate our way of life, DICK CHENEY said so! And why would Mr. Cheney lie to us? He's an honest man with good intentions. But anyways, CNN and Fox told us how Iraqis used box cutters to hijack planes and kill innocent people. So a few months later we went into Iraq to catch the bad guys and stop Sadaam Bin Laden from planning more attacks on the Americas!!
Anyone who says Iraq is just for profit or for oil is just a conspiracy nut that listens to Alex Jones!! Pres. Bush and VP. Cheney had us invade Iraq for only good reasons! WMD and to free its people.
Plus, we didn't sacrifice much after 9/11! I mean look at all the positives the War has brought us!:
Warrant less Wiretapping
Torture
Bankrupted our nation
4,500 dead US Soldiers
millions of dead Iraqis
Blank Checks for Halliburton
CCTV
8 Year of the Bush Administration
No WMD
For good politics avoid Alex Jones and watch CNN or listen to anyone who speaks positively towards Mr. Bush and Pres Obama!
DVD Review: Never shoulda gone there!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know what anyone else thinks, but this documentary should be seen by all Americans. What were we thinking when we put "W" in office TWICE! I hope I live to be 120 years old so I can actually see what future people think of the Bush years (son that is...I respect Sr.). Buy this video...it is the truth.DVD Review: Must See!
Summary: 5 Stars
Every U.S. Citizen must see this documentary from filmmaker Charles Ferguson if you want to have an educated opinion regarding the War in Iraq. Also, please review Charles Ferguson's biography on the Council on Foreign Relations website at www.cfr.or/bios/10786, to check his credentials - impressive. DVD Review: "We will bring the Iraqi people food and medicine and supplies and freedom"

The title of this review is actually a quotation by President George W. Bush found in some archival news footage near the end of this powerful documentary.
This is a documentary film about America's occupation of Iraq. It focuses generally on the two-year period following the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 and particularly with the period of a few months in the spring and summer of 2003. It asserts that serious mistakes made by the Bush administration during this time were the cause of the ensuing quagmire of problems of guerrilla warfare, warlord rule, criminality, and anarchy that dominate Iraq to this day. (Note that this film does initially touch on other aspects prior to the occupation and reconstruction of Iraq.)
To a large extent, this film, besides archival footage, consists of brief interviews with high ranking officials who were involved in the initial Iraqi occupation authority and ORHA (the Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance, later to be replaced by the CPA, the Coalition Provisional Authority). Iraqi civilians, American soldiers, and prominent analysts are also interviewed.
Thirty-five people were briefly interviewed, many of them former Bush loyalists who have since become disillusioned by the incompetence and recklessness they were involved in at the time.
Examples of those interviewed include the following:
(1) General Jay Garner, who briefly ran the reconstruction before being replaced by L. Paul Bremer III (who took over May, 2003)
(2) Ambassador Barbara Bodine, who was placed in charge of the Baghdad embassy
(3) Richard Armitage, former Secretary of The State Department
(4) Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, Colin Powell's former Chief of Staff
(5) Colonel Paul Hughes, who worked in the ORHA and then the CPA
One criticism of this film is that it is biased. This is not true. The accumulated professional standing of the people that were interviewed and their insistence on the facts makes this criticism not plausible. Besides key officials such as Bremer and former Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld declined to be interviewed.
This film has won many awards.
Incidentally, there were no weapons of mass destruction found in this documentary.
Finally, the DVD itself (the one released in 2007) is perfect in picture and sound quality. It has fifteen interesting extras. There are no English subtitles but there is closed captioning.
In conclusion, this is the first film of its kind to chronicle the reasons behind Iraq's descent into chaos. As such, it is not to be missed!!
(2007; 1 hr, 40 min; wide screen; 12 scenes)

DVD Review: No End In Sight...
Summary: 4 Stars
All the folks that actually served on the front speak here - and it just underscores the ignorance of Bush and his party - mowing fervently ahead full of their rightness.
Description of No End in Sight
Studio: Magnolia Pict Hm Ent Release Date: 11/25/2008 Run time: 102 minutes Rating: NrA staggering portrait of arrogance and incompetence, the documentary No End in Sight avoids the question of why the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, choosing instead to focus on the war's aftermath--and meticulously examine the chain of decisions that led Iraq into a grotesque state of lawlessness and civil war. Drawing from interviews with top generals, administration officials, journalists, and soldiers who were in the thick of the war itself, No End in Sight lays out a gripping story, as suspenseful as any Hollywood movie, accompanied by terrifying footage of firefights and explosions more vivid than any special effects. Unfortunately, there is no happy ending. If the documentary has a weakness, it's the shortage of voices trying to defend the administration policies (perhaps unsurprisingly, policymakers like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz declined to be interviewed). But the testimony (presented by administration insiders and officials in Iraq, both military and civilian) argues that, despite contrary analysis and experienced advice against its actions, the top brass of the Bush administration made decisions (that aggravated already existing problems and created devastating new ones. No End in Sight builds its case one voice at a time and avoids the grandstanding that undercuts Michael Moore's work; instead, the gradual accumulation of simple facts--presented with weary resignation, earnest outrage, and restrained anger--results in a compelling condemnation of one of the worst blunders the U.S. has ever made. --Bret Fetzer
