Must See TV Tonight: Endgame (in Iraq)

PBS FRONTLINE's Endgame will be aired on Albuquerque's KNME tonight at 9:00 PM (and rebroadcast on June 20 at 3 AM, June 22 at 10 PM and June 24 at 8 AM). According to the FRONTLINE website:

The show examines the reasons for the current situation in Iraq, including failure to plan for an insurgency; the “light footprint” strategy pushed by then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld; and the 2005 Iraqi election, which the Sunnis boycotted.

...  As the United States begins one final effort to secure victory through a "surge" of troops, FRONTLINE investigates how strategic and tactical mistakes brought Iraq to civil war. The film recounts how the early mandate to create the conditions for a quick exit of the American military led to chaos, failure, and sectarian strife. In Endgame, producer Michael Kirk (Rumsfeld's War, The Torture Question, The Dark Side, and The Lost Year in Iraq) traces why the president decided to risk what military planners once warned could be the worst way to fight in Iraq -- door-to-door -- and assesses the likelihood of its success. Top administration figures, military commanders, and journalists offer inside details about the new strategy.

Following the broadcast, Endgame will be available to view on FRONTLINE's website.
