A staggering portrait of arrogance and incompetence, the documentary NoEnd 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 examinethe chain of decisions that led Iraq into a grotesque state of lawlessnessand civil war. Drawing from interviews with top generals, administrationofficials, journalists, and soldiers who were in the thick of the waritself, No End in Sight lays out a gripping story, as suspensefulas any Hollywood movie, accompanied by terrifying footage of firefightsand explosions more vivid than any special effects. Unfortunately, thereis no happy ending. If the documentary has a weakness, it's the shortageof voices trying to defend the administration policies (perhapsunsurprisingly, policymakers like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and PaulWolfowitz declined to be interviewed). But the testimony (presented byadministration insiders and officials in Iraq, both military and civilian)argues that, despite contrary analysis and experienced advice against itsactions, the top brass of the Bush administration made decisions (thataggravated already existing problems and created devastating new ones.No End in Sight builds its case one voice at a time and avoids thegrandstanding that undercuts Michael Moore's work; instead, the gradualaccumulation of simple facts--presented with weary resignation, earnestoutrage, and restrained anger--results in a compelling condemnation of oneof the worst blunders the U.S. has ever made. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: 
- Devastating expose of war's incompetence
I cannot too highly recommend this DVD.Even ardent supporters of the war will find it hard to stomach all the incompetence. This is not a leftist screed; all the people interviewed are government or military officials who end up nauseated by the blundering of the Bush administration.Prepare to be outraged!

- Everyone and their mother is a war critic. We went to IRAQ for WMD and to free its people, not for OIL OR PROFIT!
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Never shoulda gone there!!!!
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.
Rating: - Must See!
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.
Rating: - "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 ... Read More
