I saw this back in 2007 and thought it was a very powerful documentary. I thought that a decade would have blunted some of it's power since it's far less topical, but I was wrong. This document of the dumbfoundingly incompetent strategies the Bush administration pursued in Iraq is still brilliant.

It is very scary and extremely disappointing to learn that America's enormous military resources could be so badly mismanaged, and that the intelligence organizations could be essentially ignored by a small group of politicians. The handling of the Iraqi war under president Bush can be characterized as a continuous progression of blunders that ultimately created bigger problems than it solved. Why are there no checks and balances to protect us from this kind of ineptitude within our government?

Normally I watch these hot topic documentaries and think "that's good and all, but nothing I didn't know." Here there was a good amount of stuff I didn't know. Even being aware of the basics, the depth of some of the mismanagement and willful blindness on display is incredible.

Bully of the world gets his pants down. Mostly not because he is a bully, but because he sucks at bullying. Good documentary that tries to put things into perspective.

While the presentation is strictly workmanlike, the litany of ideologically-driven decisions, ignored advice, and sheer retardation documented here reaches a critical mass of idiocy that should leave any thinking person frothing with rage.

Uncompromising look at the incompetence of the Iraq war. This transcends political bias and simply presents the facts - without any sugar coating - directly from the people involved, and not the political spinsters. Embarrassingly for the USA, this war will always be remembered as the "what not to do" example in the military text books of the future.

A lot of amazing information, delivered by talking heads. Drags somewhat.

A very important bit of history laid down on tape for the archives. The sad thing is that we came so close to doing this right, but the wrong people were in charge. And those people are too scared to talk about it

An Inconvenient Truth on crack. Very, very complex and very, very well done. It will piss you off.

The most direct, simple, and convincing film about the Iraq War and the quagmire that has followed to date.

My biggest complaint ? "No End in Sight" is a documentary, a genre that thrives on factual representation and engages the viewer's sense of time and space. "Encounters at the...": it was like being in Antartica, "King of Kong": I found myself cheering for Steve Wiebe,... Here, I felt like Alex from Clockwork Orange, looking at an extravaganza of disturbing/disgusting, though well documented material which (quoting the last line of the film), "made me angry". A good/informative film, not great.
