LIES I SAW IN MOORES 9/11
After seeing the movie 9/11, I saw some very obvious lies on moores part.
The part is surely trick photography where bush sits in a class of kids with a deer in the headlights look on his face for seven minutes after hearing the country is being attacked. No world leader, in this nuclear age would ever do anything that stupid. Is moore seriously trying to make us believe that with jet pilots working like a nascar pit crew to practice getting airborne quickly, the president would be such an idiot to do nothing while planes were on thier way to the pentagon? Other than this everything else seemed believable in the movie. -- -- Dixon |

I heard it said if we lived three hundred years ago and the president heard there were ships just leaving Europe to attack us, then it probably would be an acceptable reaction. Realisticly, with nothing like this happening to us in so long, I suppose it is a semi-justified reaction.

Sarasota principal defends Bush from "Fahrenheit 9/11" portrayal
By Associated Press June 24, 2004 SARASOTA - Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11" criticizes President Bush for listening to Sarasota second-graders read a story for nearly seven minutes after learning the nation was under attack on Sept. 11, 2001. But Gwendolyn Tose'-Rigell, the principal at Emma E. Booker Elementary School, says Bush handled himself properly. "I don't think anyone could have handled it better," Tose'-Rigell told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune in a story published Wednesday. "What would it have served if he had jumped out of his chair and ran out of the room?" |

Bush should have sat not for seven minutes, but to the end of his term reading the goat book. I wish he would have waited the full seven minutes before he attacked a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. Dixon |

Yes, I feel she's more qualified than you, or I, or Michael Moore to comment on how Bush handled himself that morning...because she was there. BTW--She's a registered Democrat who voted for Gore in 2000. |

Well, I suppose it was better when Kerry said he "couldn't think" for 45 minutes. Of course, that might be an improvement. Bush was POTUS at the time. Ergo, what Bush thought, said, and did during that time period was far more important than anything anyone else might have thought, said, or did. Bush is a simpie. Even his staff admits he is a reluctant thinker and discusser, and depends upon his "guts" rather than any sort of knowledge about any important issue. Unfortunately for us, Bush's guts are full of nothing but crap. -- "There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you.

It is perfectly reasonable to assume that had Gore not been cheated out of the election, we would have had a POTUS who had stayed engaged in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and the 9-11 attacks, which had been planned for a long time, might have been put on hold or even cancelled. -- "There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you.

I agree with you on this one. It's shame on all administrations for not getting this done. It's more than just a political problem that our Executive or legislative branches should have addressed. After the first few hijackings decades ago, it should have occurred to the airlines and their suppliers that serious security reinforcement was needed between the cockpit and the cabin. Building in such security during the design phase is simple and cheap; retrofitting is expensive. -- Not dead, in jail, or a slave? Thank a liberal!

There are a number of them. One of them, for instance, is the claim that Bush was responsible for members of the Saudi family leaving the US 2 days after 9/11. Richard Clarke's 9/11 testimony (made *before* the movie was released) showed that it was Clarke who granted permission for them to leave. There are dozens of other examples. Do a google search and you'll find them. |

Dixon It was NORADS job, not the president's. He had no part in it. He was told about the first plane in the class. A single-engine plane hitting a tower isn't something a president really needs to divert all his attention to. The news of a second plane hitting the tower took a while to soak in TO ALL OF US. I saw it all live, I work in the media. I didn't exactly jump up and run for the civil defense shelter myself. And I'll bet a lot of New Yorkers didn't either, although they probably should have. I say he was focused on his job at hand (in front of a classroom full of kids and many, many media personnel and cameras, and his own entourage of staff). To take in the new info and realize it was important and sort out his thoughts from all the rest is a difficult thing at best. I agree, Bush isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he had his hands full and was handed another heapin' helping of emergency. No, I don't fault him for his hesitation. -- Member AAAAAAAA American Association Against Acronym Abuse And Also Ambiguity. |
