The Untold Playbook Behind Two U.S. Wars | Iraq, WMDs & Declassified Secrets
------------------------------------------------------------------
What really happened behind the Iraq War, the WMD intelligence claims, and the secret decisions made before the 2003 invasion?
This documentary investigates the hidden history connecting the Iraq War, the 1953 Iran coup, U.S. influence in the Middle East, the Downing Street Memo, weapons of mass destruction, UN inspections, and decades of American foreign policy.
In the summer of 2002, a senior British intelligence official traveled to Washington and met with the CIA. The confidential memo written after that meeting would later become one of the most controversial documents connected to the Iraq War.
But the story did not begin in 2002.
We go back to the discovery of Saudi oil in 1938, the growing U.S.–Saudi relationship, the rise of Osama bin Laden, the Gulf War, the CIA and British-backed overthrow of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh in 1953, and finally the intelligence battle surrounding Saddam Hussein and Iraq.
This documentary examines:
The 1953 Iran coup and Western oil interests
The U.S.–Saudi oil relationship
Osama bin Laden and the Gulf War
Iraq after September 11, 2001
The Downing Street Memo
CIA and British intelligence discussions
Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction
Hans Blix and UN weapons inspections
The March 2003 invasion of Iraq
How governments build public support for military action
Was Iraq an isolated intelligence failure—or part of a much older foreign-policy playbook?
