A catalogue of incompetence and ignorance. I can't wait to see what PBS do for Trump. This was hard to watch but truthful and necessary to have it documented for the future. Thanks PBS.
No mention of of his connection to Enron. Or what aboutt eh mission he went to put the mega racist in the supreme court? Absolute fucking white wash.

One of the best documentaries i have ever watched! Thank you PBS.
Ez vicc?
Watching this in 2026 what a normal president he was even tho we thought he did bad
I’d hate to be that guy. But I’m an Australian who had family serve in Iraq. To have PBS say that the US fought in Iraq with only one ally, and indicating that it was the UK, shows a lack of compassion for the sacrifices of my country.
Enjoyable documentary otherwise, but that flippant factual error is condescending.
How about some historical context for wars in Middle East. Such a mess
The House of Gorée is a scam, do your research
At least Bush had a heart. PEPFAR saved a lot of lives, and then a new moron came in whose decisions undermined much of that goodwill.
When is Obama's coming out
Can't wait for trumps and obamas
49:45 – it´s very weird that he doesn't look at Rumsfeld. It appears as disingenuous. Yes, Rumsfeld was evil, but if you talk to a man, address him direrctly. Unless Bush didn't want to…
What i find Funny is that Obama was more imcompetent on everything except promoting homosexuality across the world and yet he doesnt get criticised as much……
DICK CHENEY did everything with only personal motivations
Obviously, he regret Iraq War as a citizen George but as president George W Bush has to own and justify it. We will know in the next 50 years when it’s declassified
He’s a war criminal, pure and simple. Millions died 'cause of him, and Iraq's oil was stolen—and it's still bein' bled dry. If he was German, they’d’ve dragged him straight to a Nuremberg trial. We shouldn't be fooled by all that shine; he ain't nothin' but a butcher

His intervention in the AIDS crisis in Africa was in many ways a game changer the humanity of it accentuated by the fact that he or the USA were not obligated
قاتل و ارهابي ومجرم
USA strikes on war war 🤜🏻🤜🏻 lraq 🤮🤮🤮🤮
United States strikes on war war lraq 🤬🤬🤬🤬
08:30 sorry but a quick Google search will show you America and the Coalition dismissed thousands from the Iraqi Army and form the Civil Service, they beat men in a war, then made them redundant, then started raiding homes to find "terrorists" and they wonder why their was unrest, resistance and things ground to a halt and descended into violence. A very unique take from PBS here.
The opposite would have been even more dangerous of Saddam having the WMD and US not able to defuse it… Such is the world… the very same people would have accused US of not acting…
Choke the arms industry…. Stop the wars…..

Bush's initial handling of the financial crisis shows why a fancy MBA doesn't teach you anything about economics
To date… I still think Bush got a lot of unfair flak for Katrina.
I don't even have to watch this to know it glosses over or downright skips his complicity in the massive war crime he committed…
