No end in sight

I watched the excellent documentary, No End in Sight tonight. It basically gives a thorough treatment of the entire Iraqi debacle, from the first missiles, up through mid 2007. There weren't any big surprises, so anyone who doesn't have a steady diet of Fox News should already be aware of most of what this film covers, but its still a very well assembled film. In many ways it could be considered the cliff-notes (or hell, the movie version) of books such as Fiasco or State of Denial (both of which I've read, and found to be amazingly detailed accounts of why we're in Iraq, and why its been such a complete disaster).
