Video: 'Iraq:The Real Story'

E&P's Greg Mitchell offers his thoughts and a recap (see his article if you're unable to watch the video) about this 8 minute piece:

It’s the most revealing little (eight-minute) video I’ve seen yet on our country’s preposterous position in Iraq.

Aptly, it is titled, "Iraq: The Real Story." It won’t turn your stomach, in fact, you may even chuckle in spots (like you might have done in reading much of “Catch-22”). But, hopefully, you will end up screaming at the computer screen.

That’s partly because it arrives at such a critical moment, with the death counts for both Americans and Iraqis soaring, and the debate over what to do about this catastrophe reaching a fever pitch, even before the election of a new Congress.

I didn't 'end up screaming' but I certainly shook my head at the absolute futility of the situation and the glaring examples it gave of how not to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. 'Preposterous' is right.
