One of my all time favorites.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

If all that is said is true, then this is like some kind of twisted Orwellian nightmare. It's Animal Farm all over again as a select few individuals make the choices. Terrifying in more ways than one, the film shows the disastrous war, planned out my money grabbing idiots. It's not just the dying soldiers/Iraqi civilians that highlight the problems, but also the unemployment and destruction of Iraq's cultural heritage. The only protection is offered to the oil fields. Again, the big names refuse to take part. But there are some balanced arguments, which sometimes fall into "he said/she said" retorts. No End In Sight is riveting stuff, and if even just a handful of claims are true, then it's worth taking note.

On the spot and thought-provoking documentary about the invasion and occupation of Iraq back in the spring of 2003 and how the muddle brained thinking of those in charge of that disaster came to their misguided conclusions in starting the war in the first place! With no evidence what so ever it was decided that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussin was a threat to Middle East as well as the world with his massive supply of WMD or weapons of mass destruction. This went as far as him being accused of having nuclear missiles that as British Prime Minister and Iraqi war supporter Tony Blair publicly stated can reach America's shores and major East Coast cities within 45 minutes after their launched!The scenario for the invasion of Iraq was in fact cooked up by the GW Bush Administration as soon as it took office in January 2001 some nine months before the 9/11 attacks! It was after the attacks of 9/11 that the wheels,in the White House State Department and Pentagon, went into motion in framing Saddam in him being ,together with El-Qeada chief Osama Bin-Ladin, behind those attacks! The hard hitting documentary "No End In Sight" shows how the Bush Adminisration went full tilt in getting the American public to support the war that it was planning to launch against Iraq in 2003 and even worst never bothered to listen to anyone in the know, the military and diplomatic corps, in what a major disaster it would end up being! Unlike Michael Moore's "Farenhite 9/11" "No End In Sight" is not a left wing or anti GW Bush propaganda piece but extremely even handed in its approach. We get to see interviews of some of the majors players in the lead up to the war as well as occupation of Iraq. Many of them now some four years, the film was made in 2007, after the war started have serious misgivings in them having anything to do with it. With no plans to set up a provisional government, made up of Iraqis, and by disbanding both Saddam's Baath Party and the some 500,000 man in tact Iraqi Army the country quickly fell into total chaos which overwhelmed the undermanned underarmed,in armored combat vehicles, US troops there who became sitting ducks to the thousands of Iraqi guerrilla fighters who were former members of the now disbanded and unemployed Iraqi Army! Who by the end of 2003 had killed and wounded far more US troops then were killed and wounded during the entire 41 day 2003 Iraqi war!By far the most shocking thing in the movie is how those who planned and executed the invasion and occupation of Iraq had no idea in what they were getting their country into. No matter how strong the evidence was to not invade and occupy Iraq, in Saddam not having WMD or being involved in the 9/11 attacks, the Bush Adminstartion from GW Bush on down ignored it and even fired those military and diplomatic experts who informed them of it! Yet at the same time when their plans were exposed as being based on faulty evidence they in turn turned around and blamed it all on their own hand picked "stooges" and "yes men" who only gave them that information in fear that if they didn't they'ed end up getting kicked out of their high position in the military and State Department!Like the title of the documentary now four years after it was released there's still "No End In Sight" to the mess that the US got itself into in Iraq with the new Obama Adminstration, that got in part elected by being against the war, still refusing to set a date for a total US withdrawal from that battered and war torn country that has already cost almost 5,000 American and well over 1,000,000 Iraqi lives! Like What the then and now deposed Egyptian President Muburac said, before the war started in March 2003, that the war will open the gates of hell in the Middle-East is exactly what's happening now! Ironically it's the present US financial debt crisis that more then anything will finally put an end to that endless and bloody conflict. By the US Government running out of funds as well as losing it's ability to borrow money from "friendly" country's like Communist China to continue it!

This is an amazing conformation of the Bush administrations utter failure in the handling of the Iraq war. A girl scoot troop could have made better and more informed decisions. Perhaps even a troop of monkeys would have done a better job then Bush's henchmen?The errors in judgment and lack of military experience within the administration are both appalling and telling of the Bush white house. Every military expert was systematically ignored or sidelined. It's as if the Bush administration's primary and sole interest or concern was the protection and acquisition of Iraq's oil provisions.This film is a testament to the complete and absolute failure of the Bush presidency.

What this movie is NOT about: The decisions that led to the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and the twists and turns America took on the path to war - if that's what you want, seek out something else, such as the outstanding Frontline documentary "Bush's War". What this movie IS about: The film begins with the ending of "major hostilities" in Iraq, and carefully step-by-step examines the mishandling of the post-war occupation. Through interviews with people connected to the occupation at many different levels, it paints a picture of terrible mishandling and astounding arrogance on the part of few who held sway over so many.Kind of like if the events in a disastrous train wreck were caught in slow motion - viewing the film would be informative, horrible, and fascinating all at the same time.
