As horrified Americans watched the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, unfold on their television sets, Vice President Dick Cheney directed the U.S. government's response from an emergency bunker.

Someone needs to ask him about the way he was portrayed in the film and see what he sayes. Someone needs to ask him to be specific about what was wrong with the film.

WHERE'S CLARKE?

[Doctor Raoul]

Al Haig in drag. I have this suspecion that Clarke dresses as Mrs Doubtfire on weekends.

[STARWISE]

Just gonna post that .. LOL ... CLARKE ISN'T EVEN THERE .. that we can see.

All the actors chosen looked much better than the real

Madeline Notsobright

Sandy Burglar

Condi Rice

EXCEPT

Dick Cheney

They had him look like a 205 year old man about to take his last breath.

Well it was a pivotal point in the movie. When they raised the subject and the telephone calling started I had this sinking not again feeling, and when Bush just said yes, I raise my fist in a cheer. Decisivness vs indecision could be a subtitle of the film. I knew the Clintons are indecisive when it took them 5 months to figure out what to do about one little Cuban boy. That drove me nuts.

I couldn't believe how old the actor was that played Cheney. I wonder if Cheney looked at this and laughed?

[Mo1]

Gee .. I don't see Clark in the picture

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

I suspect that this will be the way that most people will remember him.

"According to the DUmmified Google page one, Clarke is quoted as saying that the film is all wrong."


And maybe he's right, as he's not the take-charge superhero barking the orders to Cheney and Rice as portrayed in the movie.

Shoot down the planes!

WHERE'S CLARKE?

On the Tavis Smiley show.

Richard A Clarke

*Snicker*

[shield]

Well, he sure wasn't in that picture. Yet, in the movie he was the center and making ALL THE DECISIONS!!! LOL...what a joke...

Poor little man...the only way he can feel important is that way...poor little man...

[TomGuy]

Watching the movie, every time the Clarke character appeared, I heard the theme to Mighty Mouse playing in my mind.

lol.

[DTogo]

The same smoke-filled "bunker" where he and the PNAC long-ago planned the take-over of Iraqi oil fields...

/DNC tin foil mode

[Dolphy]

Dick Clarke was in charge........I saw the Movie!

Oh, that Dick Clarke. I was getting grandstand and bandstand mixed up there for a minute.

[onyx]

He must be in the command center barking orders.

I think Al Haig gets a bad rap for that, if you listen to his entire statement instead of it being taken out of context, it's much hyped....absolutely - he was actually asked by a reporter "who's running the government?" and replied "I'm in charge here in the White House" - 'rats editing things to make themselves look better didn't start with "Path to 911".....
