Uncovered: The War on Iraq, filmmaker Robert Greenwald chronicles the Bush Administration’s determined quest to invade Iraq following the events of September 11, 2001.The film deconstructs the administration’s case for war through interviews with U.S intelligence and defense officials, foreign service experts, and U.N. weapons inspectors-including a former CIA director, a former ambassador to Saudi Arabia and even President Bush’s Secretary of the Army.Their analyses and conclusions are sobering, and often disturbing, regardless of one’s political affiliations.

“Uncovered-The Whole Truth about the Iraq War” is a chilling exposé of the lies upon which the war on Iraq is based.This DVD reveals that the idea for war against Iraq came to the Bush administration on September 11th, 2001.They realized that the fear instilled in the US population by the terrorist attacks in New York and DC would be a wonderful way to mobilize the US population for war against Iraq.The only thing necessary was a justification, so they decided to mislead the US population into believing that Osama bin Laden and Saddam are partners, and that Iraq had nuclear capabilities that they planned to soon use against us.As this DVD reveals, these were all lies.

Most of the lies are by now well-known to those of us who were opposed to the war from the beginning:there are no weapons of mass destruction, Iraq was not gearing up for war with the US, Saddam and bin Laden are not partners and in fact opposed one another.But this documentary is still interesting because it contains the interviews of many people who have worked within the governmental and military system for decades, such as: former Ambassador Joe Wilson; weapons inspectors Scott Ritter and David Albright; anti-terrorism expert Rand Beers; former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, former CIA operative Robert Baer; and Washington editor of The Nation, David Corn.

It’s fascinating for me to see footage of people who are within the system, believe in the system, and yet are willing to come forward and speak out against Bush and the war on Iraq.For example, John Dean, former White House counsel, comments on the lies Bush told to Congress about Iraq’s nuclear capabilities, explaining that it is a federal felony, a crime, to distort information that you present to congress.
