In the 2004 documentary “Losing Iraqâ€, FRONTLINE filmmakers Michael Kirk, Jim Gilmore and Mike Wiser explore the key political stories behind the Iraq war’s defining moments: from the toppling of the statue of Saddam Hussein, through the violent rise of ISIS. Drawing on one of the richest archives in broadcast journalism — including more than 40 reports on the war on terror — as well as in-depth interviews with policymakers and military leaders, FRONTLINE examines the U.S. role starting from the 2003 invasion.

Schaa pyar⤠crying
My God, war is Deception and lies.
The more and more facts and footage we watch one thing becomes clear CIA is the world's biggest terrorist entity
So pay 💰 the insurgents not to kill US Troops 😮…..
Really sad 😮… War mongers 😮
Hahaha, now you cowboys have a big mouths, talking and laughing, while my children, who are now grown men, still laugh at your disgusting smell when you searched our house. You were wearing diapers and defecating in them because you wouldn't leave your tanks for fear of the resistance fighters. I remember my wife used two bottles of Dettol to wash the house and get rid of your disgusting smell. If it weren't for your Shiite agents who refused to fight you and cooperated with you, we would have wiped out your army in just one week, and not one of you would have returned home.
Who else thinks petraeus was one of the smarter guys in this documentary
Iraq is cursed by something else and iraq will never piece or develope in Iraq people of Iraq must thank USA for helping them we thanks and support USA from India for what they have did to the world
Everyone knew the USA would lose the war. The Generals, the CIA, the Saudis, the Emirates, the Jordanians, all warned Bush that the USA would lose.
Well I think Iraq turned out alright, it's a fairly stable country and seems to be on the right path, it only took 20 years
spot on
I was part of the surge. Was out there from 07-08. USMC. Al Assad.
Oh look, more bullshit propaganda from PBS. I can't stand these America hating organizations.
Excellent as usual ðŸ‘ðŸ»
It’s almost like they sent Bremmer over there to make sure the war was prolonged.
Bremmer has a very punchable face. What a POS. De-Bathification lost the Iraq war. What a dick.
Remember – it was the US who installed Saddam.
Remember – it was the US who encouraged Saddam to kill his own people, especially the communists, within his own Ba'athist party.
Remember – it was the US who has no money for PTSD treatment for veterans – but enough for no bid contracts to Halliburton.
Remember.
Oboma created isis!
If western elites call Putin war criminal so is Bush Clinton Obama and the list goes on..
Damn, it must be uncomfortable having so many hands shoved up your a$$ while being the PRESIDENT of the USofA! This doco completely glosses over the elephant in the room! How much money was made by the Bush's and every politician with holdings in the Military Industrial Complex?? This is the real reason for the US's multiple attempts at "regime change". It's all about the "rare earth minerals",oil and those almighty $$$.
Wow this doc reeallly didn't like the George W Bush Administration.. first time i ever seen PBS agree with Trump- i think the Earth shook a little bit
Why destroy other countries? Killing even the innocent
Bush and Obama were this incompetent and Trump is right about them. Like how do you fire an army and leave them jobless
A Sunni led Iraq with ties to the Ba'ath was unacceptable to the US and a Shia led Iraq close to Iran was unacceptable to US & the Arab world. One just wonders what outcome were they hoping for ?A Shia led Iraq that would neutralize Iran?
It was all the fault of U.S. they made ISIS and armed them heavily.
For a country that doesn't negotiate with terrorists, the United States has sure funded them. $330 million that I'm sure just went to buy more weapons. Then another $400 million. All to people who just killed Americans. The Biden administration allowed between $8 and $16 billion to go to the taliban after Biden's disastrous withdrawal which got 13 Americans killed. All while we have homeless veterans. We shouldn't have one. It's really disgusting.
They spent half a billion just paying off Sunni insurgents. Then there is all the other costs for this war. This is our tax money and we have no say how its spent. They are all crooks
21:21 rumsfeld asking "when are you gonna get this thing wrapped up?" AS IF HE wasnt one of the main ones that lied us into the war!! oh now that he got his wallet and stocks full, hes not about it. what kinda demonic shit is this???
America went to Iraq fight, died, destroyed Iraq and massacred its people for the order of ISRAEL in order to kill strong man Sadam and his government. why America fights on behalf of Israel? What Israel gave back to America? Think this and let it sink
# America First
Iraq was a wasteful catastrophe for the ages from a US perspective

Wow, it's another case that proves Shane's Razor. The USA is more corrupt than their enemies and everyone in US politics and military eventually gets promoted to their highest possible level of incompetence.
now america fuck them everytime 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
