No End in Sight (2007)

The decision making and events of the second Iraq War are presented here in all their gory details. With the current circumstances in the United States being what they are, rehashing the disasters of twenty years ago is both depressing and almost underwhelming in scope. Regardless, it’s impossible to watch the interviews here and not be disquieted by what is presented, a war begun with complete lack of planning and a refusal to adhere to well-researched and established protocol. A defiance toward expertise is not new, but it’s hard not see that the current situations in this country aren’t related to the ignorance in the Bush administration.
