Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers
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.
What a film. It really does go to show what’s going on. However it is very one-sided and I’d really like to hear the other side of the story.
Again, very insightful.
I wrote something an I think it was deleted so here I go again! I can’t believe that these people don’t realize that we do not have anymore choices anymore. These people are getting away with murder, stealing, super spending needlessly. And the people on the hill don’t care! They’ve shown this many times already that they are not listening and they are sdoing what they want with our country and most of all US!!!!
I think that this is a better doc than many others because it isn’t trying to say that the entire government is involved in profiting from war like many of these and 9/11 docs do. What I found interesting is that Harry claims that America is being bombarded with terrorist attacks. I’m British, and I haven’t seen many headlines like America is being attacked, the last I had seen was 9/11.
Don’t get me wrong, it is clear that there are many factions out there that are planning illegal activities, but none of them have succeeded.
This may be an antiwar supported documentary, but it doesn’t excuse the fact that there are these corporations out there that are profiting from this war. I was out in Iraq, once in an American camp, and once in a British camp, and to think that these people couldn’t be bothered to check if the water was clean sickens me. I feel that the Persident and congress need to look at themselves and make this change, and if they aren’t prepared to them maybe the US needs to demand them to make that change, just like the British government.
