"BUSH'S WAR"----A FRONTLINE DOCUMENTARY

In case there ever was any doubt in any one's mind that Dick Cheney was calling all the shots about going to war with Iraq, you should view the two-part PBS "Frontline" series, "Bush's War."

It aired over the past two nights on PBS, but if you missed it, or would just like to see it again, click on this link: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/bushswar/

The two-part series takes you behind the scenes of the strategy that was being played out in the run up to the Iraq war and the disagreements that took place within the Bush administration and how they ignored the intelligence from the intelligence community to make a case for going to war with Iraq.

The eerie part of the series is it ends right where we are today. The various militias in Iraq are rising up and violence has taken a dramatic turn for the worse in just the past week alone.

We have passed the 4,000 mark of U.S. service personnel killed in Iraq and there are now close to 30,000 seriously wounded Americans who are recuperating from their wounds. Many of them are going to be disabled for life.

"Bush's War" IMO is the finest documentary ever made on the Iraq war and should be seen by everyone who is interested in just how the United States got bogged down in this quagmire which shows no signs of ever getting better.
