true that but i doubt this adminitration's intent was the removal of Saddam. He was more of an obstacle. I actually had a long chat with someone from falluja the other day, and trust me the image of the US as liberators is long gone.
:agree:



My cousin just came back from Iraq. He tells me that even the soldiers would talk against the war and Bush, etc.

I've got this image of George Senior, smacking George Jr. upside the head saying, "Who's laughing now about my not making a run all the way to Bagdad, huh, punk?"

I just watched Fahrenheit 9/11 for the first time, and I have to say I gained a little bit of respect for this movie when Moore documented the situation in Flint, Michigan. As stated in the film, Flint looks just as bad as some parts of Baghdad right now, and most of the blame can be directed to Joke Bush. This "President" has completely let parts of Michigan go to hell, but that's no surprise...it's a common fact that Michigan is 75% Democrat, and a hard core Texas Republican will have no part in going out of his way to help the struggling people in Michigan, just like the liberal and poor Katrina victims in New Orleans. Bush would rather help his cronies out in the defense industry.

As for the other parts of the movie, the bias really destroys some of the good points Moore brings up, and some of the accusations the man insinuates in his film are rather hard to believe. Of course George Bush being a lousy, corrupt President is not one of them.

Another upsetting fact I learned from this movie was that when a soldier from Flint died in the line of duty, his family received his paycheck that did not include the final five days of his service...only because he died "too early" as it was cited. Moore exposed some good topics in this piece, however you know its doctered up with too much bias...as I expected.

I think it's a good movie, but I've seen better of his. Agreed that I think he cuts down his own credibility. He really should try to stick more with keeping himself out of his own pictures.

And definitely the most poignant part was when he pushed the issue of all these senators sending their own children to a war they supported for someone else's kids.

Michael Moore is seemingly just as slimey as the politicians he spoke with at the end of the movie...all of them are rather unsavory characters and it's a shame we have to call these people the leaders of our country.

The Keyword is "allegedly";)

BTW I have a video of Juba the sniper of Baghdad if you heard of him. It is kind of graphic and I do not wish to post it up here. So if you are interested PM me.
