Breaking The Silence

Documentary by John Pilger & Steve Connelly

In 2001, as the bombs began to drop, George W. Bush promised Afghanistan "the generosity of America and its allies". Now, the familiar old warlords are regaining power, religious fundamentalism is renewing its grip and military skirmishes continue routinely. In "liberated" Afghanistan, America has its military base and pipeline access, while the people have the warlords who are, says one woman, "in many ways worse than the Taliban".

In Washington, Pilger conducts a series of remarkable interviews with William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, and leading Administration officials such as Douglas Feith, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, and John Bolton, Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security.

Even well intended intervention has unfortunate consequences. Bush has overextended...

Especially when business interests are involved...and in this case it's the oil and gas business :)

I really wonder if Bush believes his own crap or if he knows how much he is a puppet!

perhaps he doesn't even care...as long he can benefit and suck profit from it...the lure of fame and fortune ?, though i'm not quite sure about the 'fame' :)
