TV Junkie: Monday - Bush's War
Here on the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War with over 4,000 American dead and tens of thousands of Americans wounded PBS' Frontline launches its two-part special "Bush's War". Of course conservative pundits will accuse PBS of being the citadel of the liberal media but Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, or any of their ilk could never come up with a documented timeline of evidence that illustrate what a completely disgusting mess we're in. The "Bush's War" website will include an annotated master chronology with over 100 video clips and images supporting the 4 hour program.

Bush's War part one was a good documentary, very informative.
I had no idea how badly they had rat fucked Colin Powell, even though he went along with plans that he objected to, knew were deeply flawed. To Powell it must have been like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Amazing to me how much they relied on someone like Amed Chalabi for information when they should have known it was tainted by his ambitions, and personal agenda.
Over all I thought they soft pedaled a lot of it, but I'm still looking forward to part two tonight.
This is where they'll get into all the fuck ups that occured after the invasion.
