When I look at this video, I see all the momentum, all the right things that the U.S. did right. Even most of the Iraqi people were at their side. The war has lagged on because we are not just trying to rescue an Iraqi people but we also want to change them. Plus, the Iraqi people themselves have lost faith in the American military and government. Morale and momentum as at a low, and when you have that in a war then it tends to lag on for too long.

I think it is fair coverage of the early days of the war.  Keep in mind it covers only those early days, so the assessments of strategy aren’t based on current knowledge of later events.  21 days to reach Baghad seems like a great accomplishment, and it was, but knowing the problems that came afterwards, would 21 weeks, more troops on the ground, and a better capacity for securing supply and bypassed urban areas have worked better?  We will never know.

As to Anthony, I thank you for your service, but if you want to better yourself and your race, you have many more important battles to fight than yelling racism at a documentary that didn’t show as many black people as you would personally prefer.

Rico, did the Marcos ever agree to peace terms with the US to save his hide, then flagrantly breech those terms?  Did Marcos ever possess WMDs, much less use them on his own population?  There are many bad leaders in the world, but the US has not and will not take care of all of them.  We can all debate whether the US should ever engage in regime change, or if so, in what cases, but Marcos and the Philippines were not Saddam and Iraq.  You’re comparing rotten apples and rotten oranges.  Both are repulsive, but unique.

To the men and women of the US military, former, active, and fallen, thank you all for your sacrifices and service.
