Proportionality should be a guideline in war. — Robert McNamara

'The Fog Of War' is a documentary about Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense in the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, who subsequently became president of the World Bank. The documentary combines an interview with Mr. McNamara discussing some of the tragedies and glories of the 20th Century with archival footage and documents.

McNamara discusses his experiences and the lessons learned during his tenure as Secretary of Defense under John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. He talks about his work as a bombing statistician during World War II, his brief tenure as President of Ford Motor Company, and the Kennedy administration's triumph during the Cuban Missile Crisis. However, the film focuses primarily on his failures in Vietnam.

The theme of the film is his "eleven lessons" learned during this time. Some of these include improving military efficiency, understanding your enemy, and the frustrations of trying to deal with (and unsuccessfully trying to change) human nature.

This is the full length 90 min. version of Bill Moyer's 1987 scathing critique of the criminal act of subterfuge by the Executive Branch of the United States Government, to carry out operations which were clearly contrary to the wishes and values of the American people. The ability to exercise this power with impunity is facilitated by the National Security Act of 1947. The significance of the documentary is probably greater today than when it was made.

The world is now faced with a situation in which these same forces have committed the most egregious terrorist attack in human history (in case you haven’t figured it out yet: 9/11 was an Inside Job) and have declared a fraudulent so-called "War on Terror".

The ruling regime in the US who have conducted the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq are now banging the war drum against Iran. The USA has the PATRIOT ACT which has stripped Americans of many of their basic civil rights justified by the terror of 9/11, a crime that was perpetrated by the US Government.
