No End in Sight Page #3

Synopsis: Chronological look at the fiasco in Iraq, especially decisions made in the spring of 2003 - and the backgrounds of those making decisions - immediately following the overthrow of Saddam: no occupation plan, an inadequate team to run the country, insufficient troops to keep order, and three edicts from the White House announced by Bremmer when he took over: no provisional Iraqi government, de-Ba'athification, and disbanding the Iraqi armed services. The film has chapters (from History to Consequences), and the talking heads are reporters, academics, soldiers, military brass, and former Bush-administration officials, including several who were in Baghdad in 2003.

OF NATIONAL SAFETY NUMBER 24

If the beginning wants to be dated

of the disaster of the postwar period of Iraq...

it would have to be January 20, 2003...

when Bush signed without, for what I know...

JOURNALIST AND WRITER

discussion

in the White House or the administration...

the presidential board

of national safety number 24...

that was granting the control of Iraq

to the Pentagon after the war.

This document did of Donald Rumsfeld...

in the postwar period of Iraq.

This war was conceived

number of persons...

THE DIRECTOR OF THE GROUP

OF INTERNATIONAL CRISIS

... of the administration of Bush.

They had a vision

very ingenuous of what it was Iraq...

and of what the Iraqis

.

On having formulated his opinion

on Iraq after the fall of Saddam...

in a man called Ahmed Chalabi.

From 1992,

Chalabi had been a president...

of the National Iraqi Congress, or CNI.

was not waking up confidence in general...

since Chalabi had been a reprobate

in Jordan for bank fraud.

The intelligence considered

his slightly trustworthy information...

or even fraudulent.

Ideally,

they were lying...

and at the worst, they were inciting.

If it was a source of the CNI...

the analysts were receiving it skeptics.

But it was not like that

for the creators of political.

Chalabi assured that the postwar period of Iraq...

it would be pro American

and easy to stabilize...

especially,

if the proper Chalabi was to the control.

So the plan was, in extract...

to be approximately three or four months...

to restore a government

exiles' compound...

with Ahmed Chalabi to the head...

and, then, in August or September, 2003...

to begin the drastic one

reduction of the troops.

Larry Di Rita communicated to us

in a circular letter...

that at the end of August, 2003...

SPOKESMAN DE DEFENSA

... only they would stay

in Iraq from 25.000 to 30.000 troops.

I heard it saying it

in the persons' fourth full house...

to my companions...

says.

" It is physically impossible ".

The Future project of Iraq

...

a study of 13 volumes

on the postwar period of Iraq...

it was ignored by the Pentagon.

It was debated very much.

THE DIRECTOR OF THE PROGRAM

OF NATIONAL SAFETY

There were tons of volumes

on how should we do it.

Almost not at all it integrated...

in the idea of the Pentagon.

My frustration...

CHIEF OF STAFF:

OF BREAD STICK POWELL

... and that of the secretary they grew...

on having seen our elegant planning,

our detailed planning...

completely discarded...

and to the people who had realized it...

completely discarded...

so that the most loyal people...

of the visions

of the republican party...

they could be renowned
