 IRAQ - THE PATH TO WAR
Israel stands to benefit greatly from the US led war on Iraq, primarily by getting rid of an implacable foe in President Saddam Hussein and the threat from the weapons of mass destruction he was alleged to possess.
All of this lends weight to the theory that Bush's war is part of a masterplan to reshape the Middle East to serve Israel 's interests.
Furthermore, the costs of a permanent state of war are immense, and mounting, costs that Israel is increasingly unable to bear and that cannot be reduced as long as tension exists and its adversaries are not crushed.

 Path to War | PopMatters Television Review
On the other hand, Path to War does fully capture the richness (and also the absurdity) of the technological and scientific hubris of the late '50s and early '60s, in which any situation, however complex could be reduced to, and solved by, a mathematical equation.
Path to War resembles other (relatively) recent filmed histories: HBO's own exploration of Churchill's wilderness years during the 1930s, The Gathering Storm, for example, or Oliver Stone's Nixon.
Throughout this second hour, the script is so sympathetic to Johnson that the writers appear to portray him as a thoughtful man, driven to anguish by the dubious necessity of a colonial war that perverted him, his domestic policies and the Presidential image he had hoped to hone for history.

 DVD Talk > Reviews > Path to War
Beginning on the eve of his inauguration in January of 1965, Path to War effectively charts both the increasing involvement in Vietnam and the demise of what Johnson sought to be the primary focus of his administration — the Great Society.
Path to War continues throughout its 165-minute duration to explore the motivations, intentions, and responses of these three men through to Johnson's stunning speech wherein he conceded personal and professional defeat by announcing that he would not seek - nor accept - his party's nomination for reelection.
Path to War, with the help of a highly literate, intelligent script by Daniel Giat, does exactly that.

 The New Yorker: Fact   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
There was much more opposition to the war than anybody had expected; seemingly reliable allies jumped ship; the coöperation of the Security Council became unattainable; even the impeccably loyal Tony Blair, the British Prime Minister, needed last-minute resuscitation, in the form of a Presidential reiteration of support for Palestinian statehood.
But the case for going to war is strong enough that I don’t think a lot of people at senior levels are going home unable to face themselves in the mirror.
Now that the war is under way, the Washington foreign-policy consensus has shifted again, to the point that Haass’s position on the future of the U.N.—indeed, the future of the United States as a member of lasting alliances—would seem overoptimistic to many people.

 GreenCine | product main - Path To War (2002)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Inspired by author Robert A. Caro's massive biography of President Lyndon Baines Johnson, the made-for-cable Path to War retraces the world-shaking events occurring between LBJ's jubilant inaugural in 1965 and his tired, dispirited decision not to seek another presidential term in 1968.
At the crux of these tumultuous three years is the war in Vietnam, which forces Johnson (here played by Michael Gambon) to shunt his proposed "Great Society" to the back burner.
Though famous in political circles as a wrangler and compromiser, LBJ cannot seem to do anything right in pursuing the war; nor are his chief advisors, the hawkish Robert McNamara (Alec Baldwin) and the dove-ish Clark Clifford (Donald Sutherland), able to forge a permanent policy agreement.

 LBJ's tortured 'Path to War' / HBO movie shows two sides of Johnson in Vietnam era
"Path to War" is a film about powerful men debating their consciences and each other.

Watching "Path to War," one can easily imagine that President Bush and his Cabinet argued about Osama bin Laden and Afghanistan the same way that Johnson and his Cabinet argued about Ho Chi Minh and Vietnam.

 LBJ's troubled 'Path to War'
All the more surprising then, that Frankenheimer, 72, has produced a sympathetic portrait of Johnson in "Path to War," a fact-based drama chronicling the White House maneuverings that led to escalation of the Vietnam War.
That included "Means of Ascent" and "The Path to Power," two massive installments of Robert Caro's "The Years of Lyndon Johnson" biography series (the third of four planned volumes, "Master of the Senate," was published last month).
As depicted in the "Path to War" script, which first-time screenplay writer Daniel Giat spent 10 years researching, Johnson lashes out at his inner circle when his decisions result in American casualties.

His determination is evident from the fact that he is willing to do so even without the United Nations' support, without the backing of several of America's longest-standing allies and in spite of the opportunity to avoid war.
All of these points are valid, but the most telling is the unwillingness of President Bush and his covey of hard-line militarists to pursue the opportunity for a peaceful conclusion to this strife.

The promise he gave publicly was the same as the one he repeated in private to George W Bush: America could count on Britain's unswerving support.
At the time, those nervous to avoid signing up to war said they felt reassured that they could back 1441 in the knowledge it did not amount to the UN rubber-stamping military action against Iraq.
But the diplomatic path became progressively stickier as the US and UK view of the effectiveness of UN weapons inspections conflicted with French, Russian and German determination to resist agreeing to war amid what they believed were signs of Iraqi co-operation.
