  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  6. 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.

  7. 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…
