Fool me once. Shame on you.
Fool me twice. Shame on me.
That's how it's said George.
You idiot.
Fahrenheit 9/11 was an incredible movie.
The theater was sold out both shows for the tiny little indie theater located on a back street. The line to buy tickets and get in was down the street.
I don't even know how to begin to tell you how the American people were fooled into the war in Iraq.
Micheal Moore, no matter what you think of him, laid out the war on terror in black and white, in plain english.
So many people, including our cab driver, have said this movie is pure propaganda.
Before you say that, before you make that claim, go see it.

GW said that Osama is not a threat people. He said that the man who blew up the twin towers is not a threat. Our president has business ties with the Bin Laden family. They along with the Saudis, financed several of his now failed companies before he became president. His father, GBush senior, is still friends with that family.
He stumbled over his words, he lied, he played golf and cut down trees while he planned and plotted to over throw a country that was not involved in the attacks on us.
Get up. Go see this film.
As Fox Mulders poster that hung in his office used to say, the truth is out there.
The truth is in this film.
The ties between the Bush family and the saudis and the Bin Ladens is all right there.
We were lied to. We were duped.
What was really amazing was the mother who was so patriotic and encouraged her kids to sign up for the military. They would get to go to college and see the world. Have all the things she couldn't give them because she was poor.
Her son died.
A woman yelled at her in front of the White House that the whole thing, the war, wasn't real. That it was all staged and no soldiers were dying.
She buried her son. This is not a stage.
The only stage I see here is the one the president and the big companies in this country have set up to fool us. To trick us into believing what we are doing there is for the good of all of us.
The companies who are rebuilding Iraq stand to make millions, possibly billions from the US government. Where is that money going to come from?
From the people.
From you.
They laughed about it. Good for business. Bad for people. They laughed while they shoved food and beer down their throats at the expense of the Iraqis and you.
We are not looking for Osama. 11,000 troops are looking for Osama. There are more police in Manhattan than there are soldiers hunting for the man who attacked us.
Because according to our president, he is not a threat.
The oil is more important. They are already planning on owning the oil. They have American oil company there already drilling for it.
I sat and shook my head. No. This can't be true. Why would they lie to us like this? Why would they allow the man who attacked us to go free and go after a country that did not attack us? They were not involved. Our own defense people said right before 9/11 that Saddam had no weapons. That he was not the threat. That he had no means of waging a war against us. That all changed pretty quickly. All of a sudden, they were singing a new tune. We needed a war GW said. He is a war president and he said so. Someone, anyone.
How can we sit by and allow this man to stay in office?
How can we even think of re-electing him?
Billions of the American peoples money, your money, is going to fight this war and then rebuild what we set out to destroy for the oil.
All through this war, people scoffed at the idea of this war being about oil. Everyone said no, it was to liberate them. To free them.
Our own president, in his own words, his own voice, did not call this a war to set these people free. He himself called it an invasion.
Of course they are fighting back he said, no one likes to be occupied, I wouldn't like to be occupied. In his own words.
There is so much more I could tell you and I'm sure I've ruined it for some of you already who don't like being told how a movie goes but some of you, will not go see this film simply because you hate Micheal Moore. Big fat idiot you call him.
Big fat idiot who told the truth. Who spoke to the soldiers who came back from there. Big fat idiot who laid it all out there so that you could see what the president doesn't want you to see.
Please go see this film.
Please go before November. Call it whatever you want to call it but just go see it.
The truth is playing at a theater somewhere near you.
*Before anyone gets their panties all in a bunch, I support our troops. I have a relative over there. I am not anti-american. I am simply against the occupation and invasion of a sovereign nation simply for the soul purpose of owning that nations natural resource. I am against our leader lying to us simply for the purpose of getting what he wants.
