Product Description:
The first film of its kind to chronicle the reasons behind Iraq s descent into guerilla war warlord rule criminality and anarchy NO END IN SIGHT is a jaw-dropping insider s tale of wholesale incompetence recklessness and venality. 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 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.System Requirements:Running Time: 102 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

A staggering portrait of arrogance and incompetence, the documentary NoEnd in Sight avoids the question of why the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003,choosing instead to focus on the war's aftermath--and meticulously examinethe chain of decisions that led Iraq into a grotesque state of lawlessnessand civil war. Drawing from interviews with top generals, administrationofficials, journalists, and soldiers who were in the thick of the waritself, No End in Sight lays out a gripping story, as suspensefulas any Hollywood movie, accompanied by terrifying footage of firefightsand explosions more vivid than any special effects. Unfortunately, thereis no happy ending. If the documentary has a weakness, it's the shortageof voices trying to defend the administration policies (perhapsunsurprisingly, policymakers like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and PaulWolfowitz declined to be interviewed). But the testimony (presented byadministration insiders and officials in Iraq, both military and civilian)argues that, despite contrary analysis and experienced advice against itsactions, the top brass of the Bush administration made decisions (thataggravated already existing problems and created devastating new ones.No End in Sight builds its case one voice at a time and avoids thegrandstanding that undercuts Michael Moore's work; instead, the gradualaccumulation of simple facts--presented with weary resignation, earnestoutrage, and restrained anger--results in a compelling condemnation of oneof the worst blunders the U.S. has ever made. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - The Devastating Inside Story On Iraq, From Those Who Were There
Just when it seemed that documentaries about 9/11 and the Iraq war had played themselves out, along comes writer/director Charles Ferguson's devastating and insightful NO END IN SIGHT.Where FAHRENHEIT 9/11 had basically nailed the Bush cabal for lying about the reasons America went to war in Iraq, and many other documentaries skewered the news media for basically being in bed with the administration, Ferguson probes into what was and was NOT going on in Iraq before, during, and after the invasion; ...

Rating: - Well done look at the Iraq war and aftermath
This is a very interesting documentary that focuses on the Second Iraq War and the immediate aftermath. I must not have been paying close attention to the news when these events unfolded, because much of it was new to me. It is a very balanced look (not Michael Moore-style at all) that focuses on interviews with military, political and civilian institutions that were there, and how the decision making took place.
This documentary doesn't pass judgment on whether going to Iraq in the first ... Read More
Rating:  - "I don't know" is not good enough.
You cannot lavish this much skill on a project and settle for "I don't know" from the principles as the answer to all the blood and treasure.You are either lying or stupid.Three people, all with long ties to Israeli Intelligence, made all these decisions that destroyed a civilization, an empire, and the common cultural heritage of the human race, with no consulting of knowledgeable people in Iraq and you don't tell us why in your movie?It was all for nothing if the real culprits and their motivation ...

Rating: - Excellent (& Depressing) film
The film is clear and informative. And it is depressing seeing how one of the greatest foreign policy debacles in the history of this country unfolded before our deceived eyes.
Rating:  - Are the Bush camp really just 'incompetent' . What about 'criminal' and 'vicious'
This film, although kind of worth seeing for its depiction of the mess that is post invasion Iraq, puts a lot of emphasis on the 'incompetence' of the Bush camp, and all of their 'mistakes' in post invasion Iraq.It doesn't call into question the crime of going to war in the first place but seems to in some way excuse this by ignoring it and pursuing a 'What went wrong' line in analysing the post invasion. This film talks a lot of the lack of military experience of Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush et al. The idea that ... Read More
