Nobody brought this up.

I was wondering if anyone else has seen the latest frontline.


I examines the first year in Iraq.


It can be viewed online as well, here:

Frontline usually depresses me.

The denial I hear for the issues they raise depresses me even more

I thought most of the liberals on this board was too busy watching the Real World 35 to help form their opinions.

"We are like al beautiful ya know, like all the same, we all have individuallity and it's beautiful ya know what I mean?" "can I get laid?"

I do love Frontline though. that espisode was just ok though.

I still think disbanding the Iraqi army was probably the dumest thing they did in the first year. I remember hearing that news while talk was going on that there weren't enough troops.


The stories about who they sent to do the reconstruction are pretty chilling.

NYT had a writeup on it too.

No, it is like Land of the Lost. You would have aged at least two years and had nothing to show for it.
