This movie is a nice companion piece to the Frank Rich book about the lies and incompetence of the Bush administration in the buildup and execution of the war. The film mostly focuses on the botched first few months of the occupation. It lays out a pretty damning case about how incredibly stupid and arrogant our leaders are.The film felt like an episode of Frontline meaning that seeing this on the small screen would be more than adequate. But see it. Of all the documentaries made thus far about the war, this will definitely be one studied and watched years from now.
