The documentary features David Welch (U.S. Assistant Secretary of State), Gen. Brent Scowcroft (Former National Security Advisor), Said K. Aburish (journalist and writer), Scott Ritter (Former UNSCOM Weapons Inspector), Hussein Kamel (Former Iraqi Minister), Hans Blix (Executive Chairman, UN Monitoring AND Verification Commission), Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf’s (U.S. Cmdr. of Operation Desert Storm), U.S. President George H.W. Bush, Gen. Amer Rashid (Iraqi Minister for Oil), Ahmed Chalabi (Iraqi National Congress), Tariq Aziz (Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq), U.S. President Bill Clinton, Sir Jeremy Greenstock (British Ambassador to the UN), Sergey Lavrov (Russian Ambassador to the UN), Hans von Sponeck (Former UN Assistant Secretary General), Colin Powell (U.S. Secretary of State), Andrew Mack (Director of Strategic Planning Office of the UN Secretary General), and Mohammed Al-Sarah (Kuwaiti Ambassador to the U.S.).
