FreeRepublic is a morning read with coffee everyday. But yes, when I have something I think is worthy of my fellow Freepers, I post.

The program may not be perfect, but I am proud of it and my contribution.

I hope you watch.

Thanks for your post. You have to have a thick skin to post here if you don't toe the perceived FR party line, so I hope you don't mind the abuse you're getting (and will likely get).

That said, I have to agree with other posters that the title "Bush's War" telegraphs a POV that calls into question any claims to be an attempt at an unbiased history of the war. PBS, Frontline, "Bush's War" - all bad signs, but I'll try to keep an open mind about it.

From the last paragraph of Crittendon’s review:

Frontline didn’t manage to find any time at all to mention the name of the most significant Iraq commander of all, Gen. David Petraeus.


Is this true?

Thanks for the info - I hope to catch it if I can get home soon enough tonight. I do think the title “Bush’s War” already sounds tendentious and leaning toward the left’s view of recent history, but it sounds at least like there should be a lot of interesting material compiled for this work.

I share the universal distrust of PBS here, which gives leftists like Bill Moyers such an unquestioned run of propaganda without challenge.
