How did our government lead us to war? How did it communicate to us – and to the wider world – the reasons and rationale for initiating military conflict? And how was our nation brought to support the profound decision to wage war against another nation?
This 72-minute film compiles archival news footage –- without commentary -– presented chronologically from President Bush’s State of the Union address in January, 2002 (the “axis of evil” speech), and continuing up to the announcement of formal U.S. military action in Iraq on March 19, 2003.
Juxtapose this movie with two books by Washington Post correspondents: Fiasco (focusing on military issues) and Imperial Life in the Emerald City (focusing on reconstruction issues).
