I saw the movie. It was gripping. The movie did not get into it but did allude to the fact that first Gulf War and the second one in 2003 was all about oil. Russia and France had the advatangeous contract with Iraq and obviously oil corporations of Great Britain and the USA did like that one bit. There are other interest groups who were at play implied in the movie.
When I was in the military, I was disgusted to find out that retired Cols and Generals were working for defense contractors vying for defense contracts that could affect the military for the next 10 years or more.
