Iraq For Sale

I finally got to see the whole documentary. It was not a great film, but the information was very important. The best information may be in the bonus features that detail many of the attempts to pass oversight measures to monitor or limit Iraq spending fraud since the war started. The measures were all voted down and the voting records are displayed which fall very much along party lines. When the leaders of one party (and the leaders of the free world) all have millions in Halliburton stock options waiting to be cashed after they leave office (which can't come too soon), it is easy to imagine why the measures didn't pass and the war profiteers continue unchecked.
