Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War

This DVD went to great lengths to convince viewers there was deception from many sources to convince the American congress and public of the need to invade Iraq.

Numerous, believable persons who held office in places to give them credibility gave testimony that indicated a deception or distortion on the truth had occurred.

And yet, no motive for the deception was ever hinted at. I find it notable that VP Cheney is depicted as the person who insisted it was important to send Joseph Wilson to Nigeria. There, he was to investigate the possibility of Iraq attempting to purchase yellow cake uranium. When Joseph Wilson came back and reported he did not find any credible evidence regarding the suspected sale he was verbally attacked and his wife was exposed as a CIA operative. This suggests that Mr. Cheney or someone he answers to wanted the report to verify the attempted purchase. It has been suggested by sources other than this movie that VP Cheney exerted much pressure on President Bush to invade Iraq. These two bits of info reflect suspiciously on him.

Again, the DVD offered speculation the deception was deliberate, but never served up a motive nor a hint at who would benefit from all this wizardry. It comes across as more a bit of anti-Bush rhetoric than as a fact finding mission, and on that point it falls short of my expectations based on the title.

I was totally opposed to the US going into Iraq without UN backing but now that our men and women are there, it is important we give THEM our support and find a sensible way to get them home without leaving a situation worse than what existed before we invaded.

This DVD could be very demoralizing to the troops presently serving in the military. I hope none of them see it.

What members of the Bush administration said. Why it was all false.

Lots of words about weapons of mass destruction, nuclear weapons, biological weapons, chemical weapons, grave threats, and Al-Qaeda. Nothing about concern or freedom for the Iraqi people, something that came stage center only after the other reasons for the war were exposed as bald-faced lies.

Oscars to Mr. Bush and Mr. Powell for superior acting (lying in a most convincing fashion) and to Mr. Rumsfeld for a chameleonic performance (changing as the story changed).

This is a film every American and Briton should watch.

Running only 56 minutes, its too long for what it is.

Understand, I'm against the war and do think we were lied to, but I don't think that we need to see Bush and his administration shifting and shifting and shifting their stories for an hour. Its the same thing over and over, and after half an hour of this the point was made.

Granted the entire film is not just the shifting stories, there are interviews with experts, and they are the high points of the film. Why the more of these weren't put into the film is beyond me. Granted they are on the DVD as an extra, but as of right now I'm too unhappy with the film to continue onward.

6 out of 10, yes it makes the point but it goes on a bit too long.

This is an extremely well done film using combinations of clips of statements made by Bush, Cheney, Powell, et.al justifying the invasion of Iraq, along with commentary by many highly reputable CIA analysts, ambassadors, and other government officials explaining the false basis of these justifications. The film demonstrates what many people have known intuitively--that the invasion was totally unjustified. The film is made with precision and integrity.

Extremely well done...In the form that it was, after the event as it were...Quite startling.

Many names 'in the know', which added much credence.

I was particularly struck by David Kay's comments: Obviously a man of high principle-Presumably choosing David was one of White House's unexpected blunders...I cannot imagine Bush choosing a man of integrity by design! I sincerely hope David has not been singles out for his honesty.

I wholeheartedly recommend this documentary to those who wish to know the truth about this abhorrent war & the true reasons for it.
