Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers
Filed under Military and War, 4 Comments,
Join documentary filmmaker Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed) in assessing the damage done to average Americans when corporations decide to wage war. For critics of the current administration, the connection between the war in Iraq and the private corporations who profit from the fighting is plain to see.. For those who may not be so easily convinced, however, Greenwald and company not only explore the questionable motivations of the corporate decision-makers whose wartime profiteering has affected the lives of countless soldiers and their families, but also the increasingly negative international reputation of the United States as a result.

Another really sad film – I’m a capitalist – I own companies – I am motivated by monetary gain but I cannot understand the lack of moral conscience it would take to be a war profiteer

This is so obvious a anti-war supported documentary.
With terrorism out of control with the Obama Administration, we all know the liberals are incapable of protecting Amercian lives.
Next time try and study how to produce an objective film.
This stinks liberalism.

Harry – The news tells you that terrorism is out of control, and you believe it. American criminals kill more Americans than terrorists ever have. There are between 1000 and 1500 murders per year in your country. In the 9 years since September 11th, that’s 3 times the amount killed on that terrible day. Can I perhaps see your film – the one you produced objectively? What do you know about objectivity, let alone film making? I am so glad I don’t live in the US – it’s douche bags like you that makes the world hate America; and that’s a shame. I know so many Americans that are rational, kind and against this illegal war.

this film is very informative and moving. it shows the destruction that ensues when one lets greed and private profits become the means to win a war.
poor and low-income citizens trying to make a better living for themselves and their families are the ones who suffer. even those who support capitalism need to seriously question what should be the limits of capitalism after seeing this film.
the only thing that i think would have made this film perfect is if they highlighted more the affects private military has on iraqis and how the lack of accountability leads to the atrocities. this film did highlight some but i would have appreciated more.
and to all the so called “conservatives” or “republicans” who say this film is replete with “liberalism” they should keep in mind that the people affected by this murderous greed are usually themselves. poor whites and republican voters. thus they should pull their humanity before their politics and seriously look to see what they can do to stop this egregious violation of human rights.
