DC 9/11

[gWbush is Mabus]

I accidentally stopped on this last night and almost puked!
I could only watch it for like 5 minutes.

I turned it off when "Rummy" was giving CPR to Pentagon attack victims and then carrying people on stretchers to ambulances.
yeah right.

oh btw, the director prefaced the movie by saying everything that happened in the movie was real as told to them by an "inside source in the white house...Karl Rove" (the propaganda minister himself)


these guys are sick. using 9/11 to terrorize people, exploit their trauma, advance the neocon agenda, strip away civil liberties, etc. If I was the relative of a 9/11 victim, I would be writing letters.


UNF$%KING BELIEVABLE!

3. A relative did write a review:

A "mind-numbingly boring" propaganda film
A 9/11 widow reviews last night's Showtime film about President Bush's actions on and after that fateful morning.

It is understandable that so little time is actually devoted to the president's true actions on the morning of 9/11. Because to show the entire 23 minutes from 9:03 to 9:25 a.m., when President Bush, in reality, remained seated and listening to "second grade story-hour" while people like my husband were burning alive inside the World Trade Center towers, would run counter to Karl Rove's art direction and grand vision.

Remember the aircraft-carrier photo op? Bush is a man of action; in fact, he is an action hero. Except, of course, when it really counts, like in those early morning hours when this country was under attack and our commander in chief was drinking milk and eating cookies with second graders. Can you imagine one of those second-graders years from now when they are asked where they were on the morning of 9/11? They will simply say, "I was sitting with the president reading him a story."

Miscellaneous things that surprised me included the fact that the film perpetuates the big fat lie that Air Force One was a target. Forgive me, but I thought the White House admitted at the end of September 2001 that Air Force One was never a target, that no code words were spoken and that it was all a lie. So what gives?
