Strange irony here. Substitute "Jew" for "German" and this film sounds a lot like pre-war Nazi propaganda. But from the guy who wrote The Lorax! Still, always fascinating to see what history looked like and what people thought about it while it was happening.

Nobody in the audience is seen booing
Well, we only really see Scorsese and Adrian Brody, and no , they arent booing, but no matter who it was, its pretty damn unacceptable behavior IMO, And it shows how crazy the whole USA was back then, the American people were so drugged on lies and fear they did not check to see what the whole world outside KNEW. Even to me, hey, I'm no Iraq expert, but we all knew saddam was no threat to the US, how the hell could he be?? All reports that came out of Iraq, Except for the stars and stripes colored ones, showed quite clearly there were no WMD's there. It was no "oops, Mistake, sorry!" these were LIES.. just lies, there is no other way of describing what Bush, Cheney,Rumsfeld,Rove and Powell did Pre-war. They Lied. And the sooner you americans figure that out and get these assholes impeached, the better.

"Yeah - we said Bush lied!
I never meant it personally, I just improvised!"

The only 'evidence' of Bush 'lying' about pre-war intelligence came from Joe Wilson. Remember all that? "Plamegate"? One of the many other scandals the left cooked up which they thought would be the issue they would use to get Bush impeached, Karl Rove 'frog-marched' out of the White House, Cheney charged as a criminal, and so on and so on and so on.

And where is Joe Wilson now? Where are the criminal charges the left and the media were so SOOOOO sure would be levelled? All gone. Because it has been proven that Bush didn't lie. He was right. It was Joe Wilson who lied. It has been documented in British Intelligence that Saddam's Iraq DID try to get uranium from Niger.

The simple truth is, the Dems and the lefties were given access to the same pre-war intelligence that Bush had. And they still voted FOR the war. If it was as flimsy as all that, then why did they vote for it? Why won't they publically recant their votes? Why don't they level criminal charges against Bush or impeach him? After all, if you're right, he's a criminal and a war criminal to boot - right?

Again - if you're so sure that Bush lied, the bring forth the evidence. Bring it to your congressman. He's there to represent you - right? To represent your point of view. Bring your evidence to them, and to the media. Lay it all out on the table and then demand that they go in front of those cameras and declare it to the world. No one's going to believe you if you use comic-book characters like Michael Moore. He's too over the top and frankly he's no more trustworthy than Joe Wilson was. You need to get credible people in Congress or the House to take your conspiracy theories and start using them in their debates and campaign appearances.

Go ahead - try it. Get your elected representatives to use your theories and run with them in the upcoming elections.

But you won't do it. Because you know these theories can't be proved. You can stand there and say "Bush lied" all you want. But you know as well as anyone there are perfectly reasoned and logical counters to them. Any debater worth his salt could blow them out of the water.

Which is why, even if you DO take your arguments to your Congressman, they'll ignore it. They wouldn't dare to use that kind of clap-trap in an actual political debate.

Think about it. Have you ever heard your leftie politicians repeat any of the stuff you see on the left-wing blogs? Your bloggers are the ones who supposedly have 'all the answers' - right? So why aren't they using them to recant their votes, demand an immediate withdrawl from Iraq and impeach Bush to boot?

From TNR online:

SUGGESTED READING FOR CHENEY:
Here's the transcript of Dick Cheney's painful (for him, at least) appearance on "Meet the Press" yesterday. One of the most telling moments came when Cheney tried, again, to link Saddam Hussein to Al Qaeda:

VICE PRES. CHENEY: You've got Iraq and al-Qaeda, testimony from the director of CIA that there was indeed a relationship, Zarqawi in Baghdad, etc. Then the third...

MR. RUSSERT: The committee said that there was no relationship. In fact...

VICE PRES. CHENEY: Well, I haven't seen the report; I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but the fact is...

That report, of course, was by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Cheney can read the full report at http://intelligence.senate.gov/phaseiiaccuracy.pdf. Or, if he's pressed for time, he can read this New York Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/08/washington/09intelcnd.html?hp&ex=1157774400&en=0f631262baeef300&ei=5094&partner=homepage) about the report, which begins:

"The Central Intelligence Agency last fall repudiated the idea that there were pre-war ties between Saddam Hussein's government and the Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab Al Zarqawi. . . ."

Oversight is hell when it gets in the way of simple fearmongering.

Im horrified anyone could say "Parliament could use a few more like him". He's an self serving ego-maniac. Where was he when Parliament was debating and voting on an issue directly relating to his constituency? He was in the big brother house dancing about in lycra outfits, and crawling around on the floor pretending to be a pussy cat. Also his ass-kissing to Saddam pre-war was very cringeworthy.

As much as I dislike him though, his hearing was brilliant to watch. He is a great orator and years of debate in the British Parliament will only sharpen those skills, and coming up against a Senator used to the US congress, there was only going to be one winner. Also I was and remain against the Iraq war, so find myself in the unusual position of agreeing with his points.

I've seen incredible videos specifically from imbedded Fallujah cameramen, but never one that was edited like a music video. Very much true to the pre-war perspective of the Indiana Marines I know who went over there, wanting to kick some ass and blow some shit up.

A long fireworks show, with a brief shot of a dead militant, set to dumb radio-rock.
