"Mission Accomplished" great Iraq film with bad title
I say bad title because it suggests the film might be a polemic against Bush, which it's not. And which almost made me not watch it, which would have been a shame because the film is really really good.

What it is is a critical documentary produced by a very interesting and charming and courageous journalist that I know nothing about. (Does anyone know more about him?)

Especially interesting to me is the portrayal of the troops. In particular the scene where after the soldier spouts the stuff about the Iraqis "not wanting freedom," the journalist asks simply, "what if the Iraqis want freedom from you?" which causes the soldier to do a double-take...

Mission Accomplished

Shocking, honest, brave and an amazing eye-opener. Watch this movie if you really want to know what's happening in Iraq. Shows both sides of the story about the insurgency war that you won't see on TV. Critical of US policy, but sympathetic to the American soldiers on the ground. Historical movie.

Run Time - 89 Minutes
