Frontline Exposed Bush on PBS Tonight!

I turned off the debates to watch the Frontline 2 hour special on Iraq. The exposed all the Bush lies, and the PNAC collaboration with Chalabi to take over Iraq. If it's archived - you've GOT to see it. The Bushies refused to be interviewed for the program. It was about as damning as it gets. I just hope Bush people were watching.

3. I am sorry I missed it

I have the feeling that nothing that the Bush administration does is going to stick. It seems as if they have a double coat of teflon.

4. It should be shown over and over and

The director hit it perfectly! He rolled out the works including information I'd never heard before, and I read these threads.
Plus, the entire mood conveyed was one of "we really are sorry we have to show you this story because it is just making us too sad." Perfect.

The interview with Gen Gardner really was the biggest surprise. He damned the junta by clearly stating that the Rummy, Cheney and the Whore House gang never had their shit together. He spoke about how the State Dept plans were scrapped without warning thanks to the neo-penta-cons.

So what's with these generals...?

I'm sure they'll re-run this; so check your local listings.

6. This is "MUST SEE TV" and "VCR ALERT" in a single program

Tape it and give the tape to anyone who'll watch it.

It's on PBS. It'll be replayed late tonight. Every local PBS affiliate sets its own replay schedule. Check it out.

Leftcoasters, it's coming on in 8 minutes.

8. I agree...

tape this if you can! A lot of PBS shows don't get a replay in some areas.

This is a cut and dried documentary; excellent reporting, and views that are NEVER shown on the normal media channels.

They did a great job and the only thing I am sorry for, is that I didn't get to see the outtakes. There was probably more astounding footage, but they had just an hour and a half.

BTW: watch for next week's Frontline. Another story linked to the Middle East.
