A new documentary detailing the lack of pre- and post-war planning in Iraq released last weekend. It likely won't have the success of Fahrenheit 9/11, but the trailer portrays it as a much more in-depth and informative movie. It seems like a film version of The Assassin's Gate . From Raw Story:

First, Bremer reversed the decision of Gen. Jay Garner, who had been overseeing Iraq's reconstruction prior to his arrival, to form an interim Iraqi government. More fateful was his decision to remove former members of the Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath Party from their positions in government.

"De-Ba'athification was so deep that we weren't able to get the government running as efficiently as we should have as fast as we should have, and you had a lot of disenfranchised Ba'athists," Garner says as the film shows clips of out-of-work Iraqis marching in the streets.

Bremer's "most explosive" decision, according to the film, was disbanding the Iraqi military and intelligence services, which rendered unemployed 500,000 armed men who helped create an insurgency rather than working to prevent one.

"Five days after Bremer issued his order, we were fare-welling Jay Garner because he was going to leave Iraq for good, the next day. We had two Humvees on the highway heading out from the Green Zone and they were ambushed and two soldier were killed," Hughes said. "And that was, in my mind, when the insurgency began."
