Why would you think there are inaccuracies? You weren't for this war anyway.
The best answer to the propaganda of the Left would be a full-length documentary on what our soldiers have achieved in Iraq to help the ordinary people, such as building roads, water systems, schools, hospitals, even providing tons and tons of school supplies. They have transformed 2,358 schools nationwide. Our troops even put together and delivered over 1 million school supply kits to eager Iraqi children. Personally, I would love to see a film about this.
You wouldn't even have to mention Bush's name, thereby getting around the McCain-Feingold campaign restrictions.

This movie mogul doesn't live in Hollywood. A Denver billionaire, Anschutz owns 78% of Regal Entertainment Group, which in turn controls the largest theater chain in the U.S., including United Artists Theatres and Regal Cinemas. He says he got into the entertainment business in order to make family films, so that gives you an idea of his core values.
Among other things, his company acquired the rights to make films of C.S. Lewis’s Narnia Chronicles, and their most recent production was "Around the World in 80 Days," the Jackie Chan movie which just reached the theatres.
Sorry I couldn't find his email on the Internet. Maybe some of you techno-whizzes can do that for us.
Duh. Actually, I cherish inaccuracies. They're almost always the best indicators of someone's bias or slanted agenda.
Beginning with the central premise that you can only tell when a politician (or TV talking-head spin doctor, for that matter) is lying is when he or she's lips are moving, I try to see through the B.S. from all sides, regardless of ideology. That's the whole point of being an avid news reader and follower of current events, in the first place.
Facts are facts. You can't build an argument without them. And facts that aren't made available to the public, for whatever reason, can be just as revealing as outright distortions and deceptions; facts that don't hold up. Unfortunately, the only proof of what's going to 'hold up' is time. So it's best not to go jumping to final conclusions until all the evidence is in.
Whether or not I am now, or may have been in the past to some degree, skeptical of some of the reasons we went to war in Iraq is beside the point. The whole story hasn't been written, yet.
I think the basic goal remains defeating the 9/11 terrorists, and all the other towelheads in the beheading atrocities. Has the Iraq war actually helped us in accomplishing that goal, or has it been much more of a mixed bag, results-wise? Hamid Karzai is still just the major of Kabul. The borderland of Pakistan has been transformed into the new Taliban state. Idiots are still wiring themselves up with suicide jackets, in ever increasing numbers, over a far greater area.
Pardon my cynicsm, but I really do prefer to avoid knee-jerk conclusions, or marching orders. So despite my personal revulsion for his fat and hairy face, and his more asinine and transparent attempts at self-promotion, I am going to see the Michael Moore movie. Without your permission, or approval, ever-vigilant Commissar of thought control and ideological rectitude.
And that makes me less happy that I have to share conservative opinions, on what I'm sure are a whole host of other topics, with you.
