  • ""On the 19th of March 2003, forces from the United States and a handful of allied nations invaded Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein from power. American military leaders expected the conflict to last no more than a few months and President George W. Bush declared that major military operations were over less than two months later. However, Iraq soon became a dangerous quagmire for American forces and, near the end of 2006, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, one of the key architects of America's strategy in Iraq, resigned from office due to public outcry. Bush then declared he was "rethinking" his plan of attack in Iraq as the nation sank into civil war, with U.S. troops the frequent targets of attacks from both sides. How and why did America's leaders decide to invade Iraq? How did they formulate a strategy that went so far wrong? And can anything be done to salvage the situation? Filmmaker Charles Ferguson, a former advisor with the Brookings Institution, examines these questions in No End in Sight, a documentary on the War in Iraq which includes interviews with a number of figures involved in the conflict's decision-making process, some speaking on-camera about the war for the first time"--Container."

Shows how the use of insufficient troops, allowing the looting of Baghdad, the purging of Iraqi government professionals, and the disbanding of the Iraqi military have led to lawlessness and mayhem. Further, by not understanding the tribal rivalries, the warlords and fiefdoms, the United States has been misguided in its attempts to create a democracy in an area where autocratic rule is the norm."@en

  • "Dans la foulée des attentats du 11 septembre 2001, les États-Unis déclarent la guerre au terrorisme. Les soldats américains débarquent bientôt en Irak pour renverser Saddam Hussein, soupçonné d'entretenir des liens avec Oussama Ben Laden. Après la chute de Bagdad, au printemps 2003, le Pentagone conçoit à la va-vite un plan d'occupation. Les troupes déployées pour rétablir l'ordre n'étant pas assez nombreuses, le chaos s'installe et le sentiment anti-américain prend de plus en plus d'ampleur. Des insurgés irakiens, dont certains sont d'anciens militaires laissés pour compte, lancent une série d'actions contre l'occupant. Les victimes sont nombreuses, mais l'état-major refuse de dévoiler leur nombre. Partout au pays, la situation se dégrade. Les médias américains font désormais état du "bourbier irakien"."
