yes it was similar. I had to turn it off after an hour and a half because I was so disgusted.

If every american was to watch that documentary, there would be a revolution.

I think it is going to be on the air again.

In a nutshell the documentary was about how bush and cheney used 9/11 as an excuse to go into iraq and that they were actually wanted to go into iraq before afghanistan.. All of the 'intelligence' gathered to convince the world about how bad Iraq was was bogus, and in fact the whitehouse would leak false intelligence reports to the newspapers and after they were published, they would reference them as fact..

sickening

And the INC?? what a schill. Wasn't this Wolfewitz's end game to get Iraq?

It also was pretty much showing the departmental infight between CIA and Armed Services to be the hero.

We never should have taken on Iraq - AGAIN!!!

Most of the key players except Cheney are history's footnotes. Unfortunately, like NEBE says our future generations will pay for this and prior excursions into attempts to be the global police enforcers. It's not about representing the American way of Life however, like the Cold War pitched. I am not sure what it is, it certainly doesn't represent the American majority. Let's clean up LA and AL for Chrissakes. It's still looks like a war zone outside of the major cities.

it was about securing OIL. It was also about billions of dollars in defense contracts.

would anyone in their right mind let a former coach of a NFL football team be a part of the referee team at the superbowl? No, because that is a conflict of interests. Think of who is in the whitehouse and then think of the conflict of interests going on...

We won the Cold War because the cost of keeping up with us in the arms race bankrupted the Soviets.
So the lesson of the Cold War was that you don't defeat a super power on the battlefield, you make them spend themselves into marginalization.

Well said. I have seen the previous Frontlines that were incorporated into compiling this 2 part show. Everyone should try to watch tonight. It is just an absolute disgrace that we seem to be going along like sheep to slaughter as our country goes down the toilet due to the arrogance, selfishness and greediness of Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, et al.
I keep thinking that the biggest questions is - did the Iraqi people ask us for help in disposing of Saddam hussein? And five years later the answer is still NO. So why are we there?

Impeachable offenses are described in Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution, which defines executive powers. It states “the President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and on conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
