Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Decent Job reporting
It was a decent documentry. Not to biased in either direction.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Anti-Americanism...CNN style
A heavy-handed dose of civilian casualties, cynical skeptics and military mishaps. It's amazing how one story can be retold in so many different versions. From the Arab press to the socialist press to the right wing press...who the hell knows what really happens in the world?

If you're looking for a document of what happend on the road to Baghdad, don't look to this piece of anti-American propaganda. According to CNN it's our fault that everyone hates us and we can't even tie our own shoelaces.

Highly disappointed.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Some Truth
In response to some of the earlier posted anti-war rhetoric, here are the real facts:

"Saddam was a secularist and hated al Qaeda" - as though simultaneous enemies of America have always shared the same ideology. Just ask the Japanese and Germans, or the Chinese and Russians, who agreed to set aside their mutual hatred to fight us for being emissaries of freedom. Under the Clinton administration it was considered standard intelligence dogma that Osama and Saddam worked together; only the controversy over Iraq has post-facto questioned that former pillar of American and European intelligence doctrine - and for entirely political reasons.

There was a reason Abu Nidal and Abu Abbas were in Baghdad. And it was the same reason why al Qaeda was working in Kurdistan, why al Zarqawi ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - god help me...I'm defending CNN
This review is just as much response to the one-star reviews as it is my own personal review.

First of all, I would consider this to be a very neutral look at the war. Since the two main reasons for going to war (WMD & Al Qaeda) have been disproven, this release can only be seen as a neutral look strictly at the military aspects of the war. I'm not sure what the right-wingers and fox viewers were expecting, but the DVD shows that the U.S. military had a more or less easy go of it in Iraq. If all the release is supposed to do is look at the military aspect of the war, then this dvd does that. It is one-sided and comes from only an American perspective, but it covered what it was supposed to.

For those of you who think CNN is "liberal," I would say that just because CNN ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - CNN Presents: Noam Chomsky, MANUFACTURING CONSENT
"Right now the Bush administration is pushing something called 'The Right of Pre-Emptory Self Defense.'... According to this logic, the Allies could have pre-emptively attacked Germany [toward the beginning of World War Two], and perhaps saved millions of lives...Of course, THIS IS PRECISELY THE EXCUSE THAT GERMANY ALSO USED TO ATTACK POLAND AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES (emphasis mine)...

"... We can't give Iraq a clean bill of health; therefore we can't close the book on their weapons of mass destruction. But simultaneously we can't reasonably talk about Iraqi non-compliance as representing a de-facto retention of a prohibited capability worthy of war..."

Scott Ritter
WAR ON IRAQ

Facts ARE stubborn things.

Commenting on the "tense debate" as to whether ... Read More
