I always take what any film maker says with a grain of salt. What was so convicting of Bush for me was not anything Michael Moore said, but rather the actual film footage of the President. I am aware that at the dinner where he called the super rich there "his base", that there was an element of humor in the moment, but then also they really are his base constituency. There is a real life look to the examination of war in the film that should be a lesson to anyone about what wars real costs are no matter what party you favor. People talk about how many of our soldiers got killed, but there are 7 times as many who were wounded, many horribly (who would not have even survived in an earlier war) and whose lives will be forever damaged because of missing arms, legs, burns, awful scarring and disfigurement, and internal injuries that will always make there remaining years more precarious.

The dumbsruck look on Bush's face after he was told the second plane had hit the WTC and then him just staying there was really just the tip of the iceburg.

Exactly!!!! I thought also the film was a bit fluffed up, but you can't lie about real footage. You can't deny that Bush WAS warned that Bin laden was ready to strike, and he didn't do anything. This is true about all the injured. It is true the wounded got 8.00 a day taken from their pay to feed them in the military hospitals. It is true mothers and wives don't receive the last full months pay of their son/husband if he paid the ultimate price for "Georgies WAR" Why can't some of you people wake up? He WANTED to do this, he wanted to be a "WAR President just like his nincanpoop Daddy! Hopefully history will repeat itself, and GWB will be HISTORY!

This has been true for years, not just under Bush. Military & their dependents have always been required to pay a small amount for their hospital stay. Soldiers have benefits that aid their families in the event of their death ( http://www.military.com/NewContent/0,13190,resourcespage,00.html ). They are not left high & dry. There are military support groups to assist them, also.

Nothing is too good for the morale of our enemies! The ends justify the means because the "wrong" man won in 2000!

The leftists would have preferred that Bush run screaming from the room, "Help! Help! We're under attack! We're under attack!"

Absolutely ridiculous. Please give intelligent human beings a break.

No different than Kerry's "base".

Nice leftist buzzwords. If I hear them another thousand timnes or so in the next 6 weeks I might start believing them!

Does this movie have anything like Moore's or is it just them talking? Do you think the people involved in this new film even saw Moore's? XOXO.

Who can deny the footage of GW before he made a televised statement on 9/11. The guy was giddy, he was giggling, making monkey faces (not his usual "lost baboon" look ). HE WAS GIDDY AND MAKING FACES!!!!

COME ON! can we at least have a president that is human enough to at least try to look sad?

Let them refute that.

Considering that the warnings mainly involved overseas assets, how was anyone to know that the attacks would be in the US, and would of the nature that they were? How do you preempt an event where you have no specifics to do so?

What is your feeling about the assertions in Moore's film that GWB was protecting the Saudi's in getting the bin Laden family out of the US before they were properly questioned?

Yes, but then if people acknowledged this, it would not make President Bush look bad, would it?

What do the Kerry supporters say about Kerry's own admission that he sat motionless for over 40 minutes, unable to move. Does that mean if Kerry were in the school, he would have sat there even after the class had been dismissed?
