Review
This Canadian
television documentary on the legacy of the George W. Bush
administration is highly critical without coming off as one-sided, and delivers a
fairly scrutinizing look into some of Bush's less proud feats as
president. Some topics (the Iraq war, the faux WMD intelligence reports)
are treated more comprehensively than others (the Katrina blunder, the
elections), but in general, The Bush Years is a well-balanced
documentary with highly credible sources and some hard-hitting
testimonies, especially from former Deputy Secretary of State Richard
Armitage. There is also interesting, albeit lacking material from Bush's
youth and his relationship with his father.
