No End in Sight
release date: Friday October 5, 2007
genre: Documentary
running time: 102 min.
director: Charles Ferguson
studio: Magnolia Pictures
producer(s): Audrey Marrs, Charles Ferguson, Jennie Amias, Jessie
Vogelson
screenplay: Charles Ferguson
cast: Campbell Scott
No End in Sight Movie Synopsis
A candid retelling of the events following the fall of Baghdad in 2003
by high ranking officials such as former Deputy Secretary of State
Richard Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine (in charge of Baghdad
during the Spring of 2003), Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff
to Colin Powell, and General Jay Garner (in charge of the occupation
of Iraq through May 2003) as well as Iraqi civilians, American
soldiers, and prominent analysts.
The film examines the manner in which the principal errors of U.S.
policy-the use of insufficient troop levels, allowing the looting of
Baghdad, the purging of professionals from the Iraqi government, and
the disbanding of the Iraqi military-largely created the insurgency
and chaos that engulf Iraq today. How did a group of men with little
or no military experience, knowledge of the Arab world or personal
experience in Iraq come to make such flagrantly debilitating
decisions?
The people, issues and facts behind the Bush Administration's
decisions and their consequences on the ground are examined to provide
a powerful look into how arrogance and ignorance turned a military
victory into a seemingly endless and deepening nightmare of a war. |

By "left wing" you meant "dead-on," right?

Yep, obviously just a left-wing put-up job, if it's stuffed with
commentary from such card-carrying pinkos as Richard Armitage, Barbara
Bodine, Lawrence Wilkerson, General Jay Garner.
BTW, I enjoyed the film and thought it well-done, with the possible
exception of looking at the Iraq conflict through the wrong end of the
binoculars.
The contention of the movie is that the Bush team has done a
criminally poor job of preparing and administering the war. The fact
that the war itself was foisted upon the world for no good reason -
other than corporate profitability - evidently escapes everyone
involved. >> Stay informed about: This week's SUPER left wing movie |

An appraisal shared by the majority of Americans and the VAST majority
of people worldwide is not "super left wing," by definition. >> Stay informed about: This week's SUPER left wing movie |
