As I see it, any documentary, that hits so hard the government has to release its own documentary to disprove the first, has to be worth seeing. Yup, a film cleverly titled 'FahrenHype 9/11', supposedly detailing the lies and false truths told by Moore's film, was released. When I go to Blockbuster, all 3 copies of this film are frequently rented out. And 'FahrenHype 9/11'? I've never seen it rented once.
Let's face it, we all know there was something up with 9/11, the War against Terror, and Bush's entire first term in office as a whole. You'd have to be downright stupid to not see it, or at least in denial. Moore spills the beans here.
Did you know that almost 1 trillion dollars of the U.S. economy is from Saudi money? Or that the appointed leader of Afganistan was a former adviser to an oil company owned by a friend of Bush? Or that Bush and his pals invested in a defense company prior to 9/11? Or how about, after 9/11, 2 dozen Bin Laden family members were flown out of the country? Well, now that you *do* know, are you getting a little suspicious?
It's not hard to see what was on Bush's mind during the war. After all, with several investors to his companies being connected to Bin Laden in some way, he was in a tough spot. How to conduct war on the man without PO'ing your buddies, who know the man. Bush thus did what he had to do to save face, and invade Afganistan. He just did a half-assed job of it, and went on to invade Iraq for reasons lost in a sea of red-tape and falsehoods Bush has weaved into the web of lies that make up his presidency.
What sort of amusing and yet, ridiculous things happened here? how about people beng allowed lighters and matches aboard planes, but a mother being forced to give up her bottle of breast milk? Or the simple fact that there's a larger police force in Manhattan than there were troops in Afganistan.
I'll admit it, I was anti-Bush before I saw this. So of course I loved it. I mean, one Congressman actually says that Congress didn't read the Patriot Act. What is that? Pass a bill without reading it? And then using the Patriot Act as an excuse to bust down an old guys door because he called Bush an asshole? Ha!
I will say this now- watch this film. You know what, Moore probably does tell some half-truths here and there. And like Bush hasn't? Overall, a great film. And if nothing else, listening to Moore voice Bush's supposed inner thoughts in the classroom, the morning of September 11, is very funny.
"Which one of them...screwed me?"
The more pressing question is: Did Bush himself, screw the troops who gave their lives, fighting a war in a country that posed no threat? Did he screw the Amercian people, who sent their family members to fight. Did he screw the innocent civilians of Iraq and Afganistan? Come to think of it, who did Bush *not* screw?
Sadly, the answer is: no one. Bush screwed us all.
