Truth, War, and Consequences
Season 2003 Episode 15 | 1h 24m 48s
Why did the U.S. go to war in Iraq? What went wrong? And at what cost?
Did America rush into a war in Iraq for which is was unprepared? Could the volatility in Iraq have been prevented? FRONTLINE takes an in-depth, behind the scenes look at what some government officials said was the underlying cause of America’s problems in Iraq: prewar political infighting that hampered efforts to plan for an orderly postwar transition.
