I saw F911 last monday. Nice movie, not as good as Roger and Me, or BFK.
Re Al Gore:
He lost. Rightly or wrongly he lost and it's over and done with, so get over it. I did not understand why Moore put this in the movie. Who cares. If W out manouvred Gore, than it's Gore's fault and it's too fucking late anyway. If Gore had just won his OWN state of Tennessee, he would have won, but he didn't even do that. W is the president, get over it, you will sleep better at night. Besides, even if Gore was president, 911 would have still happened. Even if Kerry is elected in November, the terrorists are still going to be plotting their next hit. The terrorists don't distinguish between democrats and republicans. They are all infidels.
As far as the rest of the movie goes......
Re: the Saudis flying away.
Moore has a very very good point there. (Sorry lebell.)
That should not have been allowed to happen under any circumstances and it's pretty fishy to me how it did. They knew the same day that 911 happened who the hijackers were, and their country of origin. Mixed in with all those "good Saudis" I AM SURE that there were some "bad Saudis". Maybe Saudis who worked with the hijakers and knew first hand how this was all set up. I can not FOR THE LIFE OF ME understand how they gave them all get out of jail free passes. A huge policing opportunity was lost.
There is something very very very wrong with that move.
Saudi Arabia is THE craddle of al qaeda, always was, and still is. I realize that the last thing the world's economy needs is the Saudi (and I use this term loosely) "government" to be destabilized, but something needs to be done. The natives in Saudi are restless.
RE: Bush on 911
Moore had some incredible footage of Bush in that school reading Mr. Goat to those kids and you could see the fear in his eyes when he was told of the second tower being attacked. (In Bush's defence, he probably thought the first tower attack was an accident.) But the second one?????? That doesn't just happen. And he sat there for 7 minutes or 9 minutes like a deer in the headlights. I actually felt sorry for him. Somehow you don't picture a guy like say Eisenhower sitting reading Mr. Goat for 7 minutes after something like 911 happened.
