Obama Is Prominent in SEAL Team Six, Weinstein Film
LOS ANGELES Thanks to the magic of editing, President Obama will have a starring role in a television drama about one of his biggest accomplishments the killing of Osama bin Laden that will be shown just two nights before the presidential election.
But promotional materials and a copy of the movie provided to The New York Times this week also show that the film has been recut, using news and documentary footage to strengthen Mr. Obamas role and provide a window into decision-making in the White House.

If you haven’t already, take a read of “No Easy Day”....a SEAL’s account of what really happened. They don’t like Obama and certainly knew he would take the credit.

I’ve read it and also Seal Team Six by Wasdin.
Seal Team Six is (by far) the better book.

The Hollywood Yarmulke mafia strikes up the band again as usual right on cue.
This time it will likely not help.
Mr Weinstein....or is Noreiga in drag?
You despise traditional America and are a traitor to your blood kin in Israel.
I detest you.

Bet the movie doesn't show that.

Hollywood’s movie fantasy during the Bush administration-W gets assassinated.
Hollywood’s movie fantasy during Obozo’s administration-Obozo (backed by a few SEALs) takes out bin Laden with his bare hands.

I wasn’t planning on watching it even before I knew this, but I wonder if they are going to show the part where he’s called off the golf course. I would love to know how he reacted when he was told he had to go home. Bet he laid down on the ground, kicked and screamed: “Can’t I just play a lousy game of golf?”

It's so the Left could float the talking point that Bush "failed to get Bin Laden" (although it was in the works for years and is reputed to have occurred because of information obtained at Gitmo). Barack has failed to prosecute Islamic terrorists at home and captured abroad. He has repeatedly denied the domestic attacks that happened on his watch were "legitimate rape terrorism". terrorism

To: chessplayer; TigerClaws
We were assured repeatedly that Osama Bin Laden and his terrorist followers are not ISLAMIC TERRORISTS, that they do not follow REAL Islam. Of course, the lying pro-Islamist Marxist in the White Hut then proceeded to give him a taxpayer funded Islamic funeral rite followed by a burial at sea. Wouldn’t want to p!ss of the Islamists by not treating Osama Bin Laden as a GOOD muslim.

And Howard T. Owens, the chief executive of the National Geographic Channel, who joined the call, said his company had insisted on removing a scene that showed Mitt Romney appearing to oppose the raid. We wouldnt air this if it were propaganda, he said.
Mr. Owens lies. It's just that they would be hesitant to air this in the eve on the presidential election if it was naked propaganda. Even he couldn't swallow ALL of the BULLSTAIN.

Mr. Weinstein added that he had supported Republican candidates like George E. Pataki, the former New York governor, and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York. Bloomberg is another Rat in RINO clothing. Easier to assure a Democrat sits in the mayor's chair if they run candidates in both parties.
