I was the editor on this project and I can tell you that we gave it all we had to make sure it would stand the test of time. I hope you all watch, and if it applies, enjoy the program.

your humble conservative editor.

Then why was it called “Bush’s War?” That’s a rather *loaded* term that automatically implies bias.

[westmichman]

Are you saying this is not a work that is meant to be destructive of the Bush administration?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

We'll be keeping an eye on this....

[Beckwith]

I’ll miss it.

It’s on PBS — Public Bullsh!t System.

"I was the editor on this project"

What's with the title? This is America's war. It's western civilization's war.

"I was the editor on this project and I can tell you that we gave it all we had to make sure it would stand the test of time. I hope you all watch, and if it applies, enjoy the program."

You left the following out and it's not Bush's War. It's Saddam's War. Saddam never once honored the 1991 surrender agreement (UNSCR 687) which included the complete verification of disarmament. And you left out that it is US Law to overthrow the Saddam Regime as signed into US law by then President Clinton under the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998.

"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."

Bush’s war?

To: Hey you!

"the truth about WMD"

Why don't you tell us what you claim that truth to be?

[Cicero]

PBS should have been defunded and cut loose many years ago.

[real saxophonist]

Joanne Ostrow of the Denver Post highly recommended watching this. Therefore I shall not.

And I'll just presume you didn't know the title would be 'Bush's War', when you agreed to work on it.

[Brilliant]

It’s hard for me to believe that they have conservative editors at PBS, but if you say so...

[RexBeach]

Scrappleface, right?

[FreedomProtector]

thanks for posting.

[elhombrelibre]

You couldn't find a less provocative title, like “Bush is moron,” or “Bush is Hitler?”

[ConservativeMind]

I'll try to tune in, but frankly, Frontline isn't known for “unbiased” reporting. How many negative exposes came out against Clinton during his eight years? Take that number (probably “0-1” against what Frontline has done on President Bush in some form.

I appreciate your post and your efforts, but I'm skeptical.

[GunnyHartman]

When the final outcome is successful as history will show, the Lame Stream Media will conveniently rename this war, the Obama/Clinton Iraq Victory.

Why not? They today claim the DemonRats deserve a share of Ronaldus Maximus’s victory over the Soviets.

[CaptainAmiigaf]

PBS? Right. Touted all over Boston radio with the telltale words that announce the intent and aim of the programs. Bush’s war and NOT America’s war? The terror was aimed at America, not just Bush, and the LEFT resents the fact that we had a leader who lead.
Today I read and heard the “MEDIA” trumpet in triumph the sad fact of death 4000 in Iraq. After several years of war, we have matched the casualties of the first few hours of D-Day in 1944. Each passing, each casualty is a heartbreak, yet such is the long history of freedom and its cost.
The “peace now” crowd, in their hatred of the U.S. military are the very FIRST to demand those constitutional protections afforded them ONLY because of the centuries long sacrifices of others.
I refer once again to my tagline. But it applies to the general media.

[alecqss]

Forgive me if I won't be wasting my time on a doc which title and ad are both full of propaganda codewords.

[weegee]

The “war” started in 1991 with Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait. Saddam violated the peace repeatedly throughout the 1990s reigniting the war.

The war almost got hot in 1998 with a lot of saber rattling by Bill Clinton and even John Kerry defending the looming war.

We were hit by terrorists in 2001 and the move to topple Saddam, who had been funding international terrorists (in Israel among other places), came in 2003. Saddam was even made an offer to step down which he refused.

The war we fight today is a totally separate event, as the Cold War was to WWII and the aftermath of the Civil War was to Southern Reconstruction (with a KKK insurgency which basically lasted for 100 years). Today we fight WITH Iraq against interntational terrorists (some of whom are sponsored and trained by foreign governments).

Please explain why you think this is a balanced presentation if you can. I realize your responsibility as a part of the production crew will probably make that impossible. I agree with the other posters that are repulsed by the reference to this being “Bush’s War”. The members of the Senate and House of the United States Congress voted to approve of taking action in Iraq. Just because one party reversed it’s stance for political reasons, that doesn’t suddenly make it Bush’s war. Let’s not forget that Senators had access to the same briefings Bush did, and they thought action was necessary, WMDs present.

I am highly suspect of this presentation.
