FRONTLINE: Bush's War
I don’t know if any of you saw this, or are interested, but the PBS FRONTLINE two part special Bush’s War is available in whole (plus extras!) online here.
I’m watching it now, and it’s pretty good.

I’m not all the way through it yet, but Cheney has this great line about “not hoping for the best and leaving it (Iraq) for some future administration to deal with.”
Irony tag explodes…
Yeah, I made it pretty far, but not all the way. I want to say I liked it, but it’s hard to like something that makes you unhappy.
There were a few things that I didn’t like, though… like when they used some of the interview clips from Part 1 in Part 2. I mean, I felt like they were telling a pretty linear tale… so when they used the same anti-Cheney criticism and praise of Condoleeza in two different parts, it seemed a little disingenuous or even maybe a little opportunistic… I don’t know. I could be wrong. I couldn’t remember the context of the first time they used the clips, and there’s too much to rewatch to see if they’re talking about the same thing or not.
If they aren’t, then it’s an editing trick of Michael Moore proportions.
