Customer Reviews of Hidden Wars of Desert Storm
what your history book didn't tell you friends- this is a must see. activists who haven't seen it and those who are curious; the truth about desert storm is in this video, and it's disturbing. it's good to know a little about desert storm before watching the video, but other than that, you should see it soon! sheds light on our involvement in the middle east and america's true intentions... (for free trade and globialization)
Excellent documentary, valuable viewing
This excellent film should be seen by everyone -- particularly those looking for insight into why the U.S. has pursued the policy it has in the Middle East, and Iraq in particular. Consider this film to be anti-spin, helping to counter the various Bush administrations' myths and lies about Iraq and the motivations of our policy toward this country.
You will notice the only slightly veiled racism of some of the critical reviewers: "The Distributor is worth noting" says the reviewer from D.C. -- as if calling itself 'Arab Film Distribution' is something the distributor should be ashamed of. I mean, most normal people don't watch "Schindler's List" and say: "Oh look, Stephen Spielberg is a Jew! Gosh! Can't trust this film!" ... if you know what I mean.
Anyway, if the issue is supposed to be the film's objectivity, one should note instead that the filmmaker is from Switzerland, a neutral country. I would trust a Swiss journalist to report objectively about U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East a lot more than I would trust, say, Fox News (which provided targeting information to the U.S. military during the most recent Iraq war, totally destroying any credibility they may have had as objective journalists and seriously endangering their journalist colleagues), as that reviewer probably does.
In any case, great work, great film -- it's nice to know that this information is out there and readily available, any time you want to know part of actual history that you won't read in the official text.
Eye opener
You can't simply dismiss this DVD as yet another "Conspiracy Theory" video made by a wacko with a grudge. The people interviewed here are iraqi dissidents, state department people, UN officials, policy analysts, and former government officials.
Its a thought provoking insight into what why the USA does what it does in the middle east. I'll give you a hint...it starts with a Crude and ends with an Oil.
Whats so sad is seeing a US state department official obviously lying during one interview with a straight face. Maybe he didn't realize it, maybe he was just following orders, who knows.
Neoconservative rightwingers will hate this video, as it bares the full truth of what Desert Storm was all about.
The most that can be hoped for is that we learn from our mistakes of the past, but if you take into consideration our 2003 war on Iraq, lessons were not learned.
