Anyone watched this on BBC iplayer?
Story of the Iraq invasion told by civilians, journos and a handful of soldiers.
I'm on episode 4 out of 5 and it's well worth a watch.
Shows what a complete mess the Americans made, why they're hated so much and how groups like Isis took advantage.

Yes.
It's worth watching.
My ex's Dad was part of the UN team first in (suit not camo').
I can't post stuff he told me on here - shocking.
I was watching a prog' about it years ago and said to the then partner "that's your dad" it showed UN exiting plane an being welcomed on the tarmac - it was him and she didn't know he had ever been there, or his wife!
Fascinating guy.
The last person on earth you'd expect to be there.
Some of the Politics is lightly passed over in the program though mentioned.

Due to keeping away from buying newspapers I'm not seeing any TV guides and flicking through the channels last week caught the end of episode 2. So decided to catch it up on iPlayer yes strongly reccomended

Watched it through and if anyone was to see the pure embodiment of bravery checkout “Mosul Eye” and what he did.
