Great series.

Bush’s War (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/bushswar/) on-line.

Nothing really groundbreaking but a good review of how we got to where we are.

Just finished watching all of it. I said before it was not ground breaking...

I take that back a bit. There may be some revelations. While we all watched everything happening over the past 5 years this documentary succinctly lays out, in detail with interviews of people involved, just what was going on within the administration and on the ground behind the scenes.

Something I took away from it was that President Bush was calling the shots based on many recommendations from many people. That he, with good intentions, based policy on what turned out to be some really bad advice... his intent was still there.

That his decision to invade Iraq was based on poorly supported facts... it will be his legacy. But, I do believe he was trying to do the right thing.
