Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers (DVD, 2006)

This movie was excellent! It provides information about private contractors and their actions in Iraq. All of the following are illustrated in this movie: Private contractors are wasting billions of American dollars. They don't even care about their own employees! If you die they just get someone else to replace you. Everyone needs to see this movie to see the impact on the American people!! Imagine a company that charges $100 to do one bag of laundry...or where a $87,000 vehicle gets a flat tire and then you burn it instead of fixing it and buy a new vehicle!??! When will this madness end?? This is a must see!!

felt screwed. ordered 8 dvd weighing ounces (all dvd's the same title). Once I pushed buy I realized they still were charging me shipping for every individual dvd. Wrote to them to question the exorbinate cost of shipping of over $55.00 for the one package they were shipping to me through the mail. They said it was a done deal and I had to pay. The cost probably to them was less then $5.00. I will never order through them again.............please be careful when dealing with them.

As a ex-kbr employee, I agree completely with this video. Iraq is easy money, but for anyone with morals once you are there you know it is time to come home. Slaves in the USA are no more, so the country is traveling to other countries to continue this practice.

Excellent, informative documentary of corporate greed sustained and enabled by the republican wing-nut agenda. The American people are being screwed and the American Serviceman and woman is just a tool to be used by this corrupt government we didn't elect. No values are being taught to the young in the military, just be a pawn in the game for global domination while fleecing the tax-payer. As a Vet of Vietnam who went through basic training, we took turns cooking, washing and maintenace. Now these soldiers are pampered, and the work that could be done by them is subcontracted out to greedy and inept contractors.
We need to regain control here and in many other instances of abuse throughout the entire structure of the government and military. This Movie must be seen by everyone who cares about this country.

The movie is a little hard to follow at times, but it is one every American should see. In every war there have been profiteers, but this is unbelieveable in the scale and cover up. Makes me sick of the government.

This is a documentary of the Truth and The American people must wake up!
Just watch how Bush and his administration took advantage of the "Our Country".
They got many people killed just to line their pockets with more money. Money is the Primary reason we are there in Iraq. Those Heartless Greedy Bastards! Any one else would have been hung if they had done what Bush and Cheney have done creating this war and getting our young men and women killed. These two so called men are as evil as the devil himself. America needs to make Bush and Cheney ACCOUNTABLE! This DVD is a must see and learn!

This movie was a real eye opener. All Americans need to wake up to what is going on. I recommend this movie to everyone!

Informative ! informative ! informative ! once you get by the whining and self- pity of the wives and contract personnel, it is a most informative DVD. When I went to Vietnam, we got $129/month, these contract personnel are getting over $100,000/year tax free...remember Humvees are not armored vehicles, and never were meant to be. Tactics in war change from month to month to respond to the enemys order of battle changes. All things considered...is worthwhile viewing and owning.

I like the fact that this documentary shows the hidden side of what really goes on in Iraq. I dislike the fact that the companies involved made commercials showing that they are taking care of our soldiers, when on the other hand that is not the case. I dislike the fact that they actually put people that were willing to help, in harms way. I bought this do to the fact that I did not believe what I was hearing to be true. How wrong I was.

This dvd is a must see for,in my opinion, ALL American citizens!
Well done and to the point. Kudos to those involved with this very informative documentary. Anyone with loved ones in the military should see this one.

Great Anti-War and anti-profiteering film. If you need to explain to those relatives that blindly believe we are doing "The Right Thing" in Iraq, that we are absolutely not doing the right thing in Iraq, and that American Lives are traded daily for corporate profit. Very Strong message, some graphic pictures, so rate this one R16, most kids need to see this before throwing their lives away in a pile of sand for the greed of Corporate America.

This is a propoganda movie. I would say forty percent of the movie is factual and truthful. The other 60% is very opinionated, twists the facts, and on a few occassions out right lies.

After seeing part of this documentary on tv, I was compelled to order the video. It clearly depicts how the Bush administration has allowed the taxpayers of America to be fleeced by the companies hired to help protect our troops. It is a disgrace. All Americans should see this film and be outraged.

The documentary is excellent and demonstrates the results of contacting in the absence of an appropriate governance structure. The particulars of some large defense contracts clearly illustrate that the Iraq war became a perfect environment for defense contractors who profited excessively from this war. This documentary should be seen by all American taxpayers. This documentary is highly recommended for public sector officials involved in the preparation of large value contracts.

Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers is a 2006 documentary about the ongoing Iraq War and the behavior of companies with no-bid contracts working within Iraq. The movie was made by Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films. Specifically, the film claims four major contractors are over-billing the government (and by extension, the American public) and doing substandard work while endangering the lives of U.S. soldiers and private citizens. The documentary contends these companies are composed of ex-military and ex-government workers who unethically help their companies get and keep enormous contracts and milk the American taxpayer.

The companies criticized are Blackwater, K.B.R.-Halliburton, CACI and Titan.

This was the first film to raise substantial production funds from small donations online: $267,892 from 3000 people in 10 days.

Halliburton has stated that the film is "yet another rehash of inaccurate, recycled information." Greenwald requested interviews with the contractors, but they ALL turned him down.

I heard about this DVD in a news broadcast so I bought it to see what it had to say. Its made up of interviews and testimony of first hand witnesses who were in Iraq and saw how the private companies are getting government money. The war in Iraq is costing billions because companies like Haliburton will ship a truck over there and then because of a flat tire, destory the whole thing and charge the US taxpayers for another one. Another instance is where Army radio repair men teach Haliburton employees how to fix radios and then Haliburton takes over and charge us far more to do it, in additon, our men then just sit aournd and do nothing. Another example is where they had a computer lab for the troops and the lady in the lab who was running the sign in sheet was making well over 100,000 a year. In the mean time we had these radio troops who were there doing nothing. Its eye opening. AMAZING!
