I watched part of The Ground Truth on Sundance last night....
And it was quite plain to see that the entire war/occupation of Iraq from Baghdad to Fallujah to Gitmo has been orchestrated to make the US be hated and to create more terrorist/insurgents. We were never intended to be greeted as “liberators”. This war was never intended to be over or “won”. It was and still IS the intention that the US would be there for decades. The Iraq Oil Theft Law before the Iraqi congress proves this.

I have known this from the beginning, but this movie makes it painfully clear.

I only watched 45 minutes of it, I could not take more.

It was my son’s 18th birthday yesterday.

1. I watched it at a meeting.
One of the most powerful films I've ever seen. My ten-year-old happened to be there. She watched; all of a sudden, she GOT IT - things I had been trying to explain for a long time.

I think that every pre-teen and teen should see it - they will NEVER enlist after seeing that film.
