A classic example of disinformation

The title of the movie made me instantly realize that this was a movie meant for the people who believe that 9/11 was orchestrated by 19 dirty unshaved Arabs and controlled from a cave somewhere in Afghanistan. Nevertheless, I watched this pathetic attempt to justify the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to see just how shameless these people really are. Well, it turns out it didn't disappoint. The acting was a disaster, as one might expect from a made-for-TV movie. The storyline was a complete lie, as it made the attack seem like something committed by Islamic terrorists, when we all know that Bush never was and never will be a Muslim, so the prefix "Islamic" does not fit. This movie made me realize just how hard the Bush administration and its cronies are working to ensure that there is still a substantial amount of people who believe their conspiracy theory concerning Al Quaeda. If you haven't seen this movie, it would be a good idea to either refrain from watching it, or if you do, you might consider bracing your sides with something to prevent you from exploding with laughter. A 0/10, but since that's not possible on IMDb, a 1.
