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.

I’m hoping that it is a good Frontline (there have been some) and that the title is misleading and draws in some viewers who will have their preconceived ideas challenged.

But I won’t be surprised if it isn’t. And I don’t think it helps debate one way or the other to label something “Bush’s war” while it is still ongoing and during the final year of his elected terms.

Ultimately it is Saddam’s war. And that war is over. Saddam’s government is toppled never to return. What has replaced it is still in transition. And outside forces are attempting to cause chaos there. Can it be called a civil war while multiple nations are engaging in combat there?

Well it is interesting as one of the original names floated was indeed “Our War.” But as the doc. tends to be a sharp-elbowed account of the inner circle around Bush - with Bush as the decision-maker - the powers to be felt that it was a better title.

It is also kinda’ funny that as one of a few conservatives at FRONTLINE, I get it from both sides. there and here.

makes the work even better.
