The Iraqi Truth Project has released a DVD documentary called Weapon of Mass Destruction: The Murderous Reign of Saddam Hussein. One of my favorite historians, Victor Davis Hanson, and one of the best up-and-coming documentary film-makers, Evan Coyne Maloney, both had a hand in this film. It will be shown at the war crimes trials of both “Chemical” Ali and Saddam Hussein.
I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I did watch the trailer. It damn near knocked me out of my chair. I knew right away I had to order this movie at once. I’ve been back to watch the trailer several times already. It’s an incredibly powerful minute-and- a-half of footage and music.

What a trailer! I had no idea there was as much footage of the mass graves and burials.It is dramatic viewing.
Yikes….and there was questions about taking this guy out…. killing 1.3 million of his own people…. I find it bizarre it was even questioned.
Very impressive – I’m glad they managed to stick that jerk moore in there while they were at it.
I am 100% sure that the 1.3 million figure includes Iranians killed during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, but still. That trailer was increadible.
Thank you for linking this site. This is on my must see list.
This makes you appreciate all the more the sacrifices made by the coalition soldiers, and it’s a great reminder that the cause is just.
Recent events in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt give a hint that there is a wind of change blowing through the Middle East. Thanks to George W. Bush and the coalition.
Highly recommended this trailer, but hope you have a high speed connection!
What kind of man could do that to his own people? I’m sorry he isn’t a man but a disturbed rabid animal and should be treated accordongly.
Perhaps the 1.3 million figure – including Iran-Iraq war figures or not – will put an end to the fake “100K killed by coalition soldiers” crapola that’s floating around out there in lefty land.
Incredible. And how shameful that Canada rejected participating in helping free the Iraqi people from this regime.
That fake 100K ‘killed by coalition’ is touted endlessly by the Left; when you ask for proof, of course there is none. But, according to the Iraq Body Count project, of Jan 16, 2005, the number of civilian deaths in the Iraq war and ‘occuption’ is between 15, 365 and 17,582. This includes 7,350 deaths resulting form coalition military action during the major-combat phase prior to May 1, 2003, and includes civilian deaths resulting from the breakdown in law and order, and inadequate health care and sanitation.
What puzzles me is the fact that the Left are so indifferent to the deaths due to Hussein. They refuse to lift a finger or a placard or a voice to protest his actions or the actions, indeed, of any tyrant.
Saddam Hussein was (IS) a despicable, evil tyrant. The information about his crimes is nauseating. I’m glad he was removed from power, I’m positive that the “new” Iraq will be a much saner place (once the little Husseins pretending to be “freedom fighers” are out of business too). I am endlessly grateful and supportive of the soldiers who fight to right horrifying wrongs like this.
I just wish President Bush would admit that he did NOT attack Hussein because of these atrocities. For years, our government SUPPORTED this man. No one so much as mentioned the hell he had created, until it turned out there were no stockpiles of chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons–and someone needed to create a new justification.
It’s a good justification; far better than the “threat of danger” used in the beginning.
I would like to think that the American public would support this war in Iraq as righteous, if they had been given the truth.
I know I do. Thank you for getting this information out.
The papers Congress signed off on for the war mentioned many reasons for going into Iraq, one of which was WMD’s. All anybody (meaning the press) was interested in was WMD’s.
How would the press react tho if every time they asked about WMD’s Bush answered about terrorism, human rights, genocide (not really sure if that was specifically mentioned), defied UN resolutions and so forth? How would they react if he did it even once? “Bush Avoiding Questions”
Clinton signed off that it was US policy to get rid of Saddam. He just never did anything about it. Defied UN resolutions made it internationally legal (not that that means squat to anybody important) – just nobody did the follow-up that should have happened (of course Bush was a bit preoccupied with that 9/11 Afghan thing).
If there weren’t any WMD’s (which I’m not convinced of, we were there a year before they stumbled across a bunch of buried migs, so they could be buried, they could be in Syria) then it wasn’t “Bush lied”. It’s Bush was wrong about that, along with the rest of the world’s intelligence agencies.
I take intel with a grain of salt but when everybody is convinced he had them, I have to think there’s something to it – we know he had them at one point, ask the Kurds.
