The annoying thing is that some conservative filmmaker could fly to Iraq, with a shoestring budget, get full support from the US military, use veterans as actors and their anecdotes as a script.

Iraqi military would joyfully depict their side of the fight against al-Qaeda, and using a lot of makeup would depict the real horrors done to the Iraqi people, and show the pain and suffering of the Iraqi people.

Clear as a bell, the US military and the Iraqi military are the good guys, and al-Qaeda are cowardly and evil foreigners intent on torturing and murdering Iraqis.

Even with direct to DVD production, the movie would make a fortune.

Americans are interested in Iraqi war movies, just not ones that lie about what our troops do. Show our American troops fighting for Iraqi freedoms and Iraqi people and they will sell. Just not the anti American crap they’ve come out with so far.

Just got back from seeing Fireproof.

Awesome and successful movie.

Very satisfying for me to see the good ones succeed and the liberal ones fail.

Too bad it wasn’t a jagged-ey edged, cantaloupe sized one.

-- why isn't the public interested in Iraq war movies?

Well, I would be. But in this particular one, James Brolin plays the Bush character. James Brolin is married to Barbra Streisand.

That says it all.

I watched it on a DVD rental today.

It’s definitely a hit piece attempt by Oliver Stone, but it will leave people admiring George W. Bush.

“W” is a President I voted for twice and am missing more and more; especially now, as the obama disaster thickens.
