Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers(DVD)
A Robert Greenwald/Brave New Films Production
BUZZFLASH REVIEWS
"Iraq for Sale" hits the gut with a punch by focusing on the victims
of privatizing our military.
The gripping documentary leaves little doubt that war is now being
waged, in large part, for the direct profit of a few well-connected
companies.
'Iraq for Sale' blows away the jingoism that our tax dollars are being
spent for spreading democracy.
Our hard-earned tax dollars are going directly into the pockets of
large corporations who often provide shoddy work that puts their
employees and our soldiers at grave risk.
Robert Greenwald, as his feisty Brave New Films studio did with
"Wal-Mart," focuses on the true stories of victims of companies the
likes of Halliburton, Blackwater, and many others who are largely
unknown to the American public.
They operate, at tremendous profit, with virtually no accountability
in Iraq, either for insuring that our GIs receive appropriate and
timely support.
In fact, the documentary provides evidence that these GOP-connected
privatized military companies actually put our soldiers and private
citizens in harm's way in order to achieve a greater profit.
This is the story of real Americans who are victims of an
administration that took the nation to war, in large part, to "feed
the greed" of corporations that politically support them.
"Iraq for Sale" proves that the Bush White House and the Republican
Party profit heavily off of fear and war -- and they do it with your
money and our lives.
We saw an advance viewing of this film, and it is the Greenwald style
at its most gripping.
(This is an advance order. The DVD of "Iraq for Sale" will be released
the end of September, after a theatrical release. Home and
organization screenings are being scheduled for October.)
"Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers" is the story of what happens to
everyday Americans when corporations go to war.
Acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low
Price, Outfoxed and Uncovered) takes you inside the lives of soldiers,
truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a
result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq.
Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private corporations
making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who allow them to do
so.
Brave New Films are both funded and distributed completely outside
corporate America.

But the one company that helped Saddam exploit the oil-for-food program in the
mid-1990s that wasn't identified in Duelfer's report was Halliburton, and the
person at the helm of Halliburton at the time of the scheme was Vice President
***** Cheney. Halliburton and its subsidiaries were one of several American and
foreign oil supply companies that helped Iraq increase its crude exports from
$4 billion in 1997 to nearly $18 billion in 2000 by skirting U.S. laws and
selling Iraq spare parts so it could repair its oil fields and pump more oil.
Since the oil-for-food program began, Iraq has sold $40 billion worth of oil.
U.S. and European officials have long argued that the increase in Iraq's oil
production also expanded Saddam's ability to use some of that money for weapons,
luxury goods and palaces. Security Council diplomats estimate that Iraq was
skimming off as much as 10 percent of the proceeds from the oil-for-food
program thanks to companies like Halliburton and former executives such as
Cheney.
