‘HUBRIS: Selling the Iraq War’ [WATCH THE FULL DOCUMENTARY HERE]

1. If we can’t put people in jail over this, it’s going to happen again. It’s a simple matter of there being a) massive profit and b) no deterrent.

   Same with the banking “crisis/ripoff”.

   Anytime there is massive profit and no penalty for wrongdoing, wrong will be done.

2. Thank you SO much for posting this !

   While I recognize that the producers have chosen to be as UN-sensationalistic as possible, there are two clips I would have liked to have seen included: Saddam’s execution and G.W. Bush “joshing” about “Where are those WMD’s ?”

3. This was a good documentary but much too short. It could have been split up with more detail into a 3-part show, I think. Watching Bush strut his stuff and announce “Mission Accomplished” and a few photo’s of those who died needlessly might have been an eye opener that’s needed to really sink home.

   We’ve known for years the Iraq War was based on nothing but lies but seeing it and those who were involved was something needed for our history books since some like to think it never happened as it did. This will go down in history and we will look like the fools we were for believing anything Cheney and Bush told us.

4. All the new documents reveal is that all the independent non-corporate media and liberal bloggers were right. It was all lies and propaganda to get us into a war.

5. I didn’t watch the films. It would make me so mad. But you cannot blame the pooor people for this. O mean the lack of judgement. Only the wealthy can afford to buy a judge, prosecuter, and jury. The joe blows of the world cannot afford it. And the bribes we pay overseas by “defense pacts” ensures our cia and military will not touch their governments. We are on our way down that happy trail, leading to the next set of chains, on oour minds and bodies, and too upset by the snookies of the world.

6. I agree completely.

7. In 2005 Bush stated the reason we went to war was that Saddam would not let the U.N. weapon inspectors back in. When you tell so many lies it becomes hard to keep them all straight.

8. It is great to have it, but it was pabulum.

   It does not show how utterly batshit crazy the whole system is, but rather allows too much conjecture that this was an aberration.

   It wasn’t.

   Look at some of the lyrics of this song sponsored by the military:

   “The Warrior Song – Leviathan

   … come all!
   Ye Hell or high waters be damned!
   No lightning, no thunder, no hurricane gale,
   can stand in the face of his wrath.

   .. when Leviathan rise,
   every last man shall shake
   to the core of his soul…

   Now, fear …
   the teeth of the killin’ machine,
   with a need to bleed you
   anywhere you be,
   best believe,

   I’m in the zone to be,
   from my Yin to my Yang
   to my Yang Tze.

   …I’ll bring death
   to the place
   you’re about to be:
   another river of blood
   runnin’ under my feet.

   …I feed on the fear
   of the devil inside
   of the enemy faces
   in my sights
   … kill with a heart like arctic ice

   I am Leviathan, “death” is my call,
   I am a warrior and this is my song

   I bask in the glow of the rising war,
   … wade through the blood
   spilled on the floor,

   and if another one stands
   I’ll kill some more.

   … a fire in me,
   like a cigarette thrown to gasoline,
   if death don’t bring you fear
   then death ain’t comin’ from the deep.

   Come to the nightmare,
   come to me,
   way down in the dark
   where the devil be,

   …where the brimstone burns
   and the angel weeps.
   …the shadow of death
   is the one I cast.

   I am Leviathan, “death” is my call,
   I am a warrior and this is my song
   My breath is fire, and my eyes are the dawn,
   I am a warrior and this is my song

   … I mean to inflict the grief,
   … The killing machine’s gonna do the deed,

   until the river runs dry
   and my last breath leaves.

   … know my pride:
   for God and Country
   I’ll end your life.

   I am Leviathan, “death” is my call,
   I am a warrior and this is my song
   …”

   (Whole Song Here). Don’t get me wrong, as GRRRR said up-thread, the MSM has to toe the line.

9. The documentary omitted a very important and effective ‘sales’ technique for promoting the war was the White House Iraq Group, in which Condy Rice played a vital role. At TVNL we exposed this group years ago, and we exposed the Powell lies in a very well supported editorial when the speech was first made.

10. To compile this body of work, evidence if you will, confirms that the event known as 9/11 has never been investigated as deep and thorough as it should have been. To think that these people that went to these lengths to attack and invade Iraq after lying to the world and then saying it’s insane to think that that these people had nothing to do with 9/11 is well- insane.

12. All this and more is true. So what? We all know the fraud was orchestrated by the Israeli network which routinely sacrifices American interest over Israeli interest. Israel is the only country that benefited from destroying Saddam’s power. Now they want to instigate a war against Iran. And we are quiet. There are no demonstrations. We have not even tried to unseat the legislators who are Israeli stooges.
    This is and more will be a punishment for our apathy
