MSNBC documentary discussing the real reason for the U.S. led invasion of Iraq. It's worth watching regardless of your political leanings if for no other reason that it presents evidence which has never been reported on before.

I suggest those wanting to know why we did it google "Project for the New American Century".

The big thing from that documentary (at least what I caught of it) was the seemingly extremely detailed planning that went into what to do with Iraq's oil and how to turn it into a cash cow for the oil industry - before and while the administration was pushing the public-facing lie-based justification for invasion and publicly, loudly, angrily denying it had anything to do with oil.

I suggest those who have watched this video actually state the new facts Maddow presented. I expect silence.

Here is a 1 hour and 45 minute Glenn Beck video that has a lot of facts. I am sure liberals are to willing to wallow in ignorance to watch the whole thing.

Nothing flippin dumber than posting videos without being able to sum up the "facts" presented.

Milton Friedman explains why Rachel and all liberals are idiots in a mere two minute video.

Too sum it up the verdict of history is clear...liberals are stupid.

MSNBC has marginalized itself so badly I can't be bothered watching anything they have to say.

I'm not a liberal, does that automatically make me smart? BTW, I watched the video and found it informative although it did restate the obvious.

It was disappointing that the documentary didn't discuss the mysterious anthrax attacks that started just one week after 9/11. Remember how those got people's imaginations contemplating all the different meanings of Weapons of Mass Destruction?

2001 anthrax attacks

The fact is Cheney was going to find a reason to advance the agenda laid out by PNAC.
