"War Made Easy" - doco on US warfare

This is an excellent doco I'd never heard of before. It's about how the US war machine prepares the public to go to war with lies. Sound familiar? 

The torrent is available here.



BTW, during the movie there's this big meme that comes out of the US to don't "cut and run", with multiple news people and politicians quoting it (three word slogan? Abbott would be proud). I can't find a video online of PM Howard saying it but I know he did many times, effectively repeating US war propaganda to the Australian population to justify continuing the war. I did however find two news articles, one in 2004 and the other in 2007, where Howard uses the exact US meme of "cut and run":
The Government insists Australia must not "cut and run" from Iraq. more 2004 

The government has consistently berated Labor for wanting to "cut and run" from Iraq, saying this would galvanise terrorists worldwide. more 2007
