The Bush administration's decision to go to war with Iraq in 2003 is scrutinized in this documentary. According to several of the military, diplomatic and intelligence insiders in the film, some Bush staffers knowingly misled the public when they claimed that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was close to acquiring weapons of mass destruction. The documentary also suggests that the press too often took the Bush administration at its word instead of investigating the White House's contentions.

Rated: 3/4 Oct 5, 2004 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Less entertaining but more substantial than Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.

How soon we forget. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm glad this documentary exists, but "No End in Sight" is such a superior film there probably isn't much need to watch this one anymore. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Again, Greenwald's style is amateurish at best, but the information he presents us with is pointed and hard to ignore. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Great content. Not particularly good filmmaking. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
