No End in Sight Page #12

Synopsis: Chronological look at the fiasco in Iraq, especially decisions made in the spring of 2003 - and the backgrounds of those making decisions - immediately following the overthrow of Saddam: no occupation plan, an inadequate team to run the country, insufficient troops to keep order, and three edicts from the White House announced by Bremmer when he took over: no provisional Iraqi government, de-Ba'athification, and disbanding the Iraqi armed services. The film has chapters (from History to Consequences), and the talking heads are reporters, academics, soldiers, military brass, and former Bush-administration officials, including several who were in Baghdad in 2003.

the different one was a slightly conventional " war ".

- Pardon?

- Impasse.

Not, of that another person takes charge...

I do not do these things.

I penetrate, penetrate.

I hear the political leaders.

Ah!

Below, below, below.

Some day in the future,

I will turn the sight to Iraq...

and I will want to see that we have obtained something...

to be able to say...

that I was a part of that...

and that my suffering

and losses have sense.

If the situation improves, I will go away of Iraq.

I will go away, but now...

I am a combatant, all my life.

will not go away of Iraq.

It is not possible to change anything from here...

because it is out of control.

I do not have plans of future in Iraq.

do not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

This is what exists.

This way we live through it, this way we see it...

this way we it smell and feel it.

In this situation it is not possible to say:

" Let's try this...

" it will serve. Or this yes that will serve ". It is not like that.

You are saying to me that this

is it the best thing that can do the USA?

Not.

Do not say that to me,

do not say to the marines...

that fought one month in Nayaf that...

Do not say to me that the marines that...

that still fight every day in Faluya...

that this is the best thing

that the USA can do.

It angers me.
