'Land of Confusion' Iraq film details futile search for WMDs-filmed by a soldier

[RamboLiberal]

In his documentary "Land of Confusion," Iraq War veteran Jeremy Zerechak recounts his Pennsylvania National Guard unit's experiences during its yearlong search for weapons of mass destruction.

-----

As they covered ground from the center of Baghdad to remote farms, he interviewed Iraqis who openly expressed their opinions about the old and new regimes.

Experts on the team tested for the remains of biological or chemical warfare. The results were 100 percent negative, making it clear to Zerechak that the administration's reasons for going into Iraq were "dubious and less than benevolent."

As the team returned empty-handed repeatedly, a feeling that the mission was "a giant waste of time and we have nothing to show for it" prevailed.

"But the one thing we accomplished was that we did find the truth. There were no weapons of mass destruction. The mission needed to be done."

With "Land of Confusion" co-producer Corey Peterson, he recently signed a deal for DVD and broadcast distribution of the documentary. It will be available on Netflix and through other distributors in October.

1. It still amazes me everytime I think of it...

that WMDs werent planted. I fully expected it. I suppose it shows how overly confident they were that they would never be held to account.
