[wordpix]

12. OMG, what a face * has. Scary idiot.

[greyl]

11. Last kick from me, off to watch. nt

[malaise]

13. Kick

I've always wondered why Powell was out of the country - Bolton was in charge. Makes you wonder!

[pn101]

14. Seems pretty neutral so far

not sure where it's going. Hmm.

[wordpix]

15. * said, we should think this thing (911) through... too bad he didn't take his own advice

[pn101]

16. He let Rummy and Darth do all the "thinking"

gotta wonder if those guys were advising him on the 3 oil companies he ran into the toilet.

[wordpix]

24. "Dick Cheney the Moby Dick of the * admin...."

[w8liftinglady]

29. I think neutral is the best approach..

[Echo In Light]

50. That's what I thought too. There's already been numerous films about it

I watched part of it and didn't get anything that isn't common knowledge by now, even among many who don't see themselves as being politically minded.

[progressoid]

17. My blood pressure is already rising.

:grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr:

[wordpix]

18. * chooses CIA ahead of the Pentagon (following Poppy's advice)

[progressoid]

20. FUCK! I'm really starting to get pissed!

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

[wordpix]

21. a bunch of dangerous morons running the country

:grr:

[progressoid]

25. I don't think I can watch anymore.

[wordpix]

19. John Yoo decides to give pRes broad constitutional powers, as Cheney/Rummy want

[wordpix]

22. now that we let OBL go at Tora Bora & botched that, let's go after Iraq!

:grr: :puke:

[wordpix]

23. 75,000 pages examined to find a Qaeda-Iraq connection & CIA couldn't find it

[Ikonoklast]

28. "They didn't look hard enough."

-Dick Cheney

[scarletwoman]

26. It's making me extremely nauseous. I don't think I can watch it all.

It's not like I don't know the whole thing was a pack of lies to begin with.

[CatWoman]

27. me too, SC

me too.

:cry:

[malaise]

30. I'm still watching

Shaking my head.

[w8liftinglady]

31. me,too...it's insanity

[wordpix]

36. Slam Dunk Tenet sells out after finding NO Qaeda connection, no firm WMDs

what a shithead

[SeattleGirl]

32. I'm watching it online right now.

It's 7:30 here in SeattleLand, and doesn't come on the television machine until 9:00, so I decided not to wait.

[wordpix]

33. these criminals and witnesses are being interviewed! Bring it on, Congress, IMPEACH!

[SeattleGirl]

34. Their blatant lying absolutely disgusts me.

And the damned Congress and the M$M just let them get away with it! :grr: :grr: :grr:

[wordpix]

35. Cheney references the NY Times "Saddam WMD" story, the same one he gave the NYT

:grr: Thanks, sleeping sheeple media.

The same media that has lately put Iraq in the news 3% of their precious news time.

[SeattleGirl]

37. I'm so sick of the media shirking their responsibility!

99% of them should probably be banned from whatever paper or TV outlet they work for.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

38. tonight, the lies. tomorrow night, the incompetence.

[wordpix]

45. ALWAYS the incompetence from this gang of lying criminals. IMPEACH!

[Old and In the Way]

39. Powerful stuff...every American ought to be required to watch this.

Nothing really new in this, certainly not anything that hasn't been posted on DU....but the distillation of the roadmap to war and the level of people who provide the narrative make this must watch TV. No one can refute the underlying point - that Cheney, Rumsfield, and Bush wanted this war and they were willing to fix the facts to support their decision to invade and control their oil reserves (OK, the last charge is mine, but why else would start their illegal and immoral war).

This may provide the documentation to eventually impeach these bastards.

[wordpix]

43. don't forget Wolfowitz, John Yoo, Addington, Gonzo and Libby

Let's bring these people up before CONGRESS and see what they have to say about the office of special plans, wiping their asses with the Geneva Convention, Gitmo and secret prisons :grr:

I'm willing to give them a couple of years off as long as they spill the beans about their puppetmasters.

[L. Coyote]

57. with Moyers' "Secret Government" as preface!

I watch this frequently, to keep perspective on these criminals and how not to let them GET AWAY WITH IT AGAIN.

The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis
This is the full length 90 min. version of Bill Moyer's 1987 ...
Watch video - 87 min -

[roamer65]

40. The most truthful analysis...

of this fiasco I have so far seen on American teevee. This should be required viewing for all.

[screembloodymurder]

56. I agree, but ...

It does a great job explaining the how. But, it ignores the why. Why did Cheney want to take out Saddam and then leave? If we went in to occupy why didn't they have more troops? It doesn't make sense.

[SeattleGirl]

41. I just emailed the link to my daughter so that she and my SIL can

watch it online. They don't have a television, but thank goodness they can still see this.

[question everything]

42. We missed the first hour but the rest was enough

Yes, I know the cost of the war so far, but what really enraged me was the treatment of the "detainees" at Guantanamo. And they are still there, still without trial or indictment.

Part II is tomorrow.

[SeattleGirl]

44. "...in beautiful, sunny Guantanao Bay, Cuba."

:wtf:

I don't know what the hell these bastards are drinking or smoking, but whatever it is, it should be banned. :grr:

[wordpix]

47. they drank the koolaid

[gulliver]

46. I was bothered by the footage of America before the war.

Just a scene of the city streets with the narrator talking about America just before the war... It is eerie to remember how much better things were then. There was no war. Then there was one.

[wordpix]

48. there didn't need to be a war, not even in Afghanistan. BushCheneyRumdum could have

gotten OBL and al Qaeda at Tora Bora if they knew what they weren't looking the other way at the oil in Iraq. Greedy bastards.

[Postman]

49. Every single war cabinet member should be arrested and tried for war crimes.

These criminals make me sick.

[Echo In Light]

51. I only caught some toward the end - is the PNAC explored earlier on?

[ThomWV]

52. it goes much much deeper than that

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/bushswar/

It may be the most important television show ever aired.

[Echo In Light]

53. Sorry, if the PNAC isn't also explored in detail, it immediately loses credibility imo

Thanks for the link!

[Postman]

54. No mention of PNAC.

No mention of Bush's evesdropping BEFORE 9/11 either.

[screembloodymurder]

55. W/O PNAC there is no motive.

It's a remarkable program, but it lacks the motive. What drove Cheney to push for the war?
