A two-part special series that tells the epic story of how the Iraq war began and how it has been fought, both on the ground and deep inside the government.
How could Bush have implied that we are a country that abhors using fear as a political tool the way Saddam had/does? Who or what is/was Rove then and his nefarious actions? How could Bush say the average Iraqi would enjoy the benefits of (Cheney's) war? And then freedom? Liberty? All that rhetoric and 200,000-300,000 dead Iraqis and 5,000 dead coalition troops later, this is Orwellian indeed looking back. It's sad, but I am afraid we will see it again in a generation or so in America.
