Synopsis: Following the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller and his men are charged with finding the so-called weapons of mass destruction, whose existence justified American involvement, according to the Pentagon and their man in Baghdad, Poundstone. Veteran CIA operative Marty tells Miller that there are no weapons, it is a deception to allow the Americans to take over the country and install a puppet leader. Also suspicious of Poundstone is Wall Street Journal reporter Lawrie Dayne, who lets slip to Miller that Poundstone told her he had secret talks in Jordan with an important Iraqi, code-named Magellan, who told him about the weapons, though it now seems likely Magellan's true information was to the contrary. So begins a hunt for the truth. Who's playing whom?

Watch what they do, look what happens.

But an American soldier saved me.

Want to see sir.

- Just do it.

We identify the

objective, Mohammed Al Rawl.

It is to kill, no prisoner.

We're coming.

The Council called a meeting

press, something big.

This is the season, there's a couch.

Attentive, go there, give me

...then follow me.

Shut up and follow me.

I go down the west aisle.

Sorry for the haste,

...we have an important announcement.

Almost touch, almost...

Now, now...

They left in two vehicles.

Hell, they do.

General, my name is Roy Miller, I am

American Army officer.

What do you want?

I came to give himself up.

General who was in

contact with an American officer,

...in the days before the war.

It was going to say anything

on Iraq's WMD program.

What programs? There are none.

I told him, we left after 1991.

The government told me that you

confirmed that the programs were active.

Lying about what you

said, that's why we're here.

And he wants to verify the story.

No.

His government wanted to hear lies.

They wanted Saddam out, and made

exactly what to do.

That's why we are here.

So you have a message for me?

General if you come with me,

...there are still people in

Washington to work with you.

People will understand that

need the Iraqi Army,

...to maintain this.

So that their

disarming the military government?

Leaving us with nothing.

Why disarm our

country piece by piece?

Why?

Risk my life by saying,

...the truth about WMD.

Tell the truth and be just fine, so they say.

All is fine, Mr. Miller.

Americans are coming.

Quick, come the Americans.

Why are you really here?

Should I set up?

Me know now, there

many to kill me.

You must come with me,

...you will get nothing if

fight against us.

You must come now

before it's too late.

He believes the war is over,

...because they are in Baghdad.

You will see, has only begun.

The Americans are here...

Kill him.

We need more men.

Go with Amir.

Over here, General.

Over here, sir.

Walk.

Stop right there.

Sure this is what

Put the gun.

Now.

What the hell did you do?

You cannot decide what happens here.

Go away, go home.

Close this area,

soldier will go home.

While you can.

It's a new beginning for Iraq.

The end of tyranny and

the beginning of freedom.

How long will

American forces?

As needed.

Copy of my report, I wanted

giving it personally.

- Thanks, "about Al Rawl?

- Yes.

Hear about this.

It is a very strong language,

But what you want with this?

Do you think anyone will listen?

- Is what he did.

- What say?

It was invented to achieve what

wanted Magellum invented.

Not that talk.

When you said that in Washington

if they knew he was lying,

...nothing ever happened.

That does not matter, ADM does not matter.

How it does not matter? Of course it matters.

The reasons why we

War is always a matter.

Do you know what you did?

What will happen the next time you want

that people trust us?

Miller will not return, we win.

This is unacceptable.

If you do not like, go.
