If you want to see the Bush doctrine in a movie, go watch Lord of the Rings.

THE GREAT CLEAVAGE in America today isn't between conservatives and liberals or Republicans and Democrats. It's between those who see the world as September 10 and those who see it as September 12.

Excellent line!

Bump. Thanks for the reminder.

Maybe this Thread should be bumped tomorrow night before the show?

"and consulting with Fred Barnes, Mort Kondracke, and Charles Krauthammer."

Gee I'm sure glad he got a completely unbiased and balanced perspective! Everyone from across the political spectrum ... of the neocon club!

I really hope this project bombs and Showtime loses all kinds of money. I don't care how well it's scripted or how accurate, we just don't need to dramatize life, we need to live life! I'd bet anything that Martin Sheen could garner votes if he ran, simply because people have seen him act presidential and therefore trust him. Same way with all the other garbage produced or being produced about Jessica Lynch - it's all still fresh in our minds, we don't need to be informed about what we already know, and a smidgen of decorum would suggest that we stop producing depiction of historical events before they've actually become historical events!

I watched (and recorded) DC 9/11 last night with my wife and we enjoyed its portrayel of our President's committment, morality, sensitivity, intelligence, and leadership. From what I have seen on Fox News and read here on FreeRepublic, the movie is amazingly accurate and straightforward about the "behind the scenes" operations immediately after and for the one week following 9/11.

The filming and production staff secured privledged access to the main players (including the President) and several different prospectives were brought to light for the first time, providing the viewer, a very clear picture of the overall event and the supurb teamwork which led up to the war on terrorism.

Aside from the official operations going on at the Whitehouse, the docudrama also paid tribute to the victims and families of 9/11 in a very classy manner.

DC 9/11 stands in sharp contrast to the constant Bush-bashing we have been subjected to for the past six months and, IMO, shows the real and highly respectable view of our Commander-in-Chief.

This one is definately a keeper so buy a new blank tape and pop the write protect tab after recording.
