I firmly believe that, if I am going to have an opinion about something, it should be informed. Googling for other people's opinions wouldn't be sufficient. I needed to see it for myself.
Its basic premise was its most fundamental flaw -- that Bush was malicious and/or incompetant. Moore makes a big deal out of the alleged financial interests the Bin Laden family and the Bush family, and the admittedly baffling blindness the Bush administration has for the Saudis. The images of the 9/11 devastation were perhaps the most powerful cinematic images I've seen since The Passion.
That said, it was unadulterated propeganda. I found myself doubting Bush in the theatre (I'd still like an explanation for his friendliness with the Saudis). But, as I walked out of the theatre, I talked with probably the only other conservatives in the group -- and we recounted precisely why Afghanistan AND Iraq were just causes. Much to the chagrin of the liberals of the throngs of lemmings there, we didnt agree with the gal who shouted "Down with Bush" in the parking lot. When I replied I'd vote for Bush -- even after seeing the movie -- she concluded I was a f---head.
Thanks for movie review. I was interested in "why" NBC was criticizing Michael Moore, when usually they can't say enough good things about the far left...and since that review probably won't be replayed until 11 pm, if at all, I was curious.
I have a question or two ....If the Bush family was given 1.4 Billion$ as MM contends where is it? in a secret room in the Bush mansion?
As to Bush being friendly with the Saudies ...the House ofSaud is right now in danger of loosing its power, how does MM account for that? (I will also see the movie...so I can legitimately bash it)
