From the horror of 9/11 to the invasion of Iraq; the truth about WMD to the rise of an insurgency; the scandal of Abu Ghraib to the strategy of the surge -- for six years, FRONTLINE has revealed the defining stories of the war on terror in meticulous detail, and the political dramas that played out at the highest levels of power and influence. Now, on the fifth anniversary of the Iraq invasion, the full saga unfolds in the two-part FRONTLINE special Bush's War, airing Monday, March 24, from 9 to 11:30 P.M. and Tuesday, March 25, 2008, from 9 to 11 P.M. ET on PBS (check local listings). Veteran producer Michael Kirk (The Torture Question, The Dark Side) draws on one of the richest archives in broadcast journalism -- more than 40 FRONTLINE reports on the war on terror. Combined with fresh reporting and new interviews, Bush's War will be the definitive documentary analysis of one of the most challenging periods in the nation's history.

Hardly. Obviously they don't have any real good historians on hand, only modern day Leni Reifenstahl's of the left who made this "lieamentray".
I wonder if any news on the success of the surge will be reported.
Not to worry. I’m sure everything said about Mr. Bush and the war will be ‘fair and balanced.’ NOT!!!
Why do I have to underwrite this propaganda with my tax money ?
They advertise this as a balanced and fair analysis of the war. I’d say they forfeited that argument when they named it “Bush’s War.” Bush did not start the war on terror. And Congress voted for the invasion of Iraq.
Since this show was produced a few months ago, the latest news about Saddam and Al Queada, as well as other recent revelations, will make this “mockumentary” just that....
Ya, as opposed to that pissy little skirmish we had with Germany and Japan.
"CLINTON: Good evening.
Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.
The hard fact is that so long as Saddam remains in power, he threatens the well-being of his people, the peace of his region, the security of the world.
The best way to end that threat once and for all is with a new Iraqi government -- a government ready to live in peace with its neighbors, a government that respects the rights of its people."
