Facts presented in Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 (so says letter writer)

This letter appeared in our local paper that will remain nameless since they don't want us linking to them. The letter writer raises three points.

It’s time to face the facts, folks

I am fed up with reading letters which criticize Michael Moore as an un-American socialist but never bother to rebut the specific points he makes in his film:

1) Why did the Bush family show such incredibly poor judgment by having cozy business dealings with the family of terrorist Osama bin Laden in Saudi Arabia over a period of many years?

2) Why did the Bush administration fall all over itself to get 142 Saudi nationals flown out of this country two days after 9/11? Why weren’t these Saudi nationals subjected to an intense checkup by the FBI over a period of weeks before being allowed to leave? What was the big rush to get them out of the country?

3) Congress and the White House have been gung-ho about the war in Iraq; so why is it that only one congressman out of 535 has a son fighting in that war?

These “patriots” are all for the war as long as someone else’s son or daughter risks death or serious injury.

Not sure why but there seems to be a network gateway error trying to get to the Isikoff Newsweek article. Had you checked the link recently? I tried from a couple of others links and get the same result.

Well, it's newsweak and PMSNBC... and a dangerous article that savages their golden hamster.... what should se expect???

PS The link seems to work now... 1:22 PM Sunday, July 18, 2004

Add a senator to your list. Senator Christopher Bond's (R-MO) son is in the Marines.
Sam Bond, 23, graduated Thursday (7-8-04) from the Basic School at Quantico, Va

Thanks, knuthom. Now we are up to SEVEN out of EIGHT Republicans. Do we see a pattern here???

[Swordmaker]

Hey, dummy, maybe I changed my name. Of course, to a smart mouth clique type little girl you may think I am not in your "social circles", but I don't care. Any idiot who thinks having been on FR longer than someone else validates their opinions more than the other person's is a real nitwit who is out of touch with reality.

Maybe you did. I'll accept your assertion. But only the guilty need to change their names so they won't be recognized... but if they want it to succeed, it requires they change their habits as well. You are not making a good impression in your new persona.

It is becoming obvious why you had to change your name...

Company came, we swam in the pool...Moore ate the whole town out of house and home.

[ErnBatavia]

Fabuloso ! You've made my afternoon on this 110 degree day!

Wifey has wondered why I've been snickering all day...

[Lady Jag]

Thanks! You wouldn't believe what it took. As soon as I set to it, the world came knocking.

I could add a couple frames and give him a couple extra bites but the file is already almost 90k, a bit big for some dial-ups, I think

I think you should take Moore's head in that picture, flip around and stick it on that picture of Mr.Creosote where he barfs on the menu (and put Quentin Tarantino's noggin on the maitre'd's, and have him say "your Palme D'Or, sir")

[Smartass]

Good evening Lady J...LOL. Looks Like MM doing what he does best!

[ErnBatavia]

You guys are my heroes! I'm such a computer lightweight that it took me over 2 years here, drooling over my keyboard, before I finally gained the ability to even POST a pic - but you guys.....wow!

Bragging here - I did get Powerpoint 2003 for my last birthday, and damned if I can't put up a halfass decent slideshow! I can't manufacture the stuff you guys can, but it helps with the itch just a twitch.

Thanks again, and FRegards, Bat

He appears to be doing something rather...Morfordish...with those hot dogs.
