The first attack wasn't known to be an "attack". It
could easily have been an accident. Only after the
2nd hit was it clear it was terrorism. As for "W"s
behavior - it was in the best tradition of dignified
cool-headed leaders.

When panicked messengers found the British admirals
with news that a Spanish armada had been spotted,
the admirals calmly finished their game of bowls
and THEN took care of business. Their calm demeanor
set the perfect tone. Apparently YOU think "W" should
have started squawking and running around like a
beheaded chicken when the bad news came ... yea,
THAT would have set a useful 'tone' alright ...

"W" did good. Those seven minutes proved he was
a leader, not just a bureaucrat.

As for Mikey Moore ... just another disinformation
artist. Take a thousand little truths and arrange
them into one big lie - that's Mikey. He's damned
lucky they quit arresting people for 'sedition'
because he'd deserve to be the first one thrown
into the dungeon.

Less is Moore in subdued, effective '9/11'

May 18, 2004 BY ROGER EBERT FILM CRITIC

CANNES, France -- Michael Moore the muckraking wiseass has
been replaced by a more subdued version in "Fahrenheit
9/11," his new documentary questioning the anti-terrorism
credentials of the Bush regime. In the Moore version,
President Bush, his father and members of their circle have
received $1.5 billion from Saudi Arabia over the years,
attacked Iraq to draw attention from their Saudi friends, and
have lost the hearts and minds of many of the U.S. servicemen
in the war.

The Saudis have been annoying for a LONG time now and
everybody knows it. Bush didn't HAVE to distract any
attention away from them since it was business as usual.

The film shows American soldiers not in a prison but in the
field, hooding an Iraqi, calling him Ali Baba, touching his
genitals and posing for photos with him. There are other
scenes of U.S. casualties without arms or legs, questioning
the purpose of the Iraqi invasion at a time when Bush
proposed to cut military salaries and benefits. It shows
Lila Lipscomb, a mother from Flint, Mich., reading a letter
from her son, who urged his family to help defeat Bush,
days before he was killed. And in a return to the old Moore
confrontational style, it shows him joined by a Marine
recruiter as he encourages congressmen to have their sons
enlist in the services.

I just doesn't have the same ring when it's a volunteer
army dontchaknow. No wonder the Dems want to bring back
the draft ... they're hoping to create recruits for their
party.

Despite these dramatic moments, the most memorable footage
for me

involved President Bush on Sept. 11. The official story is
that Bush was meeting with a group of pre-schoolers when he
was informed of the attack on the World Trade Center and
quickly left the room. Not quite right, says Moore. Bush
learned of the first attack before entering the school,
"decided to go ahead with his photo op," and began to
read My Pet Goat to the students. Informed of the second
attack, he incredibly remained with the students for another
seven minutes, reading from the book, until a staff member
suggested that he leave. The look on his face as he reads
the book, knowing what he knows, is disquieting. Rest of
