While President Bush refers to the US attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq as two 'great victories', Pilger asks the question - victories over whom, and for what purpose? Pilger describes Afghanistan as a country "more devastated than anything I have seen since Pol Pot's Cambodia". He finds that Al-Qaida has not been defeated and that the Taliban is re-emerging. And of the "victory" in Iraq, he asks: "Is this Bush's Vietnam?" 

JohnPilger has won awards for his films on Palestine, Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq, and East Timor. He goes from the offices of the liars who make the wars to the scenes of their murderous crimes. He is the Chomsky of documentary film-making.
