Plot: Based on over 200 hours of footage, the film provides 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 ...( read more read more... )Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine (in charge of Baghdad during the Spring of 2003), Colonel 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. NO END IN SIGHT 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? NO END IN SIGHT dissects the people, issues and facts behind the Bush administration’s decisions and their consequences on the ground to provide a powerful look into how arrogance and ignorance turned a military victory into a seemingly endless and deepening nightmare of a war. The film systematically dissects the Bush administration’s Iraq policy decisions and their consequences, which now include 3,000 American deaths and 20,000 American wounded, Iraq on the brink of civil war, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilian deaths, the strengthening of Iran, the weakening of the U.S. military and economic costs of over $2 trillion. It marks the first time Americans will be allowed inside the White House, Pentagon and Baghdad’s Green Zone to understand for themselves the disintegration of Iraq.

    This doc. was excellent in its coverage of how Iraq was a mistake, and was a mess (which is an understatement) from the start. It plays off the architects of the war (Bush and his inner circle) as being strupid, or just war-crazy, when what they really are are free-market capitalist pigs. I urge everyone who enjoyed this film but doesn't understand how a quagmire like this can happen to read "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein. It is the most inightful and well explained book I have ever read.

    A very important bit of history laid down on tape for the archives. The sad thing is that we came so close to doing this right, but the wrong people were in charge. And those people are too scared to talk about it

    Ouch. Pretty scathing, mostly non-partisan look at the events that have led us to the current mess in Iraq. Unfortunately, like most films of this type, a lot of evidence is hearsay or anecdotal; it's hard to prove a point when most of the key players refuse to participate. Still, there are enough folks who were directly involved stating enough to give you pause and make you consider this is more than just some hit piece. This didn't come across to me as partisan so much as a scathing indictment of misguidance and ineptitude. The title says it all.

    I've seen many documentaries on the war in Iraq and this is by far the best I've seen. Straight facts from the people who were there. From soldiers to those working on Iraq's restoration.
