Greetings from the darkness. I have commented on this despicable, loathsome, atrocious piece of garbage several times, and now after viewing it several times since my last review, I feel compelled to share how I really feel about "Fahrenheit 9/11", Michael Moore's vicious, deceitful "pack of lies" which sought to unseat our president, a man whom I (mostly) hold some of the highest regards for, and who is sorely and evilly misrepresented in this abomination of a "documentary". I would just like to entertain to anyone who actually believes that every detail in this "film" is irrefutable and merely "exposing the truth", to visit some of the countless websites laden with pages and pages of information of Moore's innumerable deceits, distortions, and "cut-and-paste" tactics throughout "Fahrenheit 9/11"... can you say... Centigrade 9-11? After borrowing the DVD of this despicable film and viewing it in the solitude of my own home, not surrounded by the poor, ignorant souls who so shamelessly praise all of Moore's "patriotic endeavors" that accompanied me in the theater (free admission) months ago, I came to really understanding how people who haven't a shred of an idea about the affairs of the world as well as the history that has advanced those affairs, might be inclined to believe that George W. Bush is a sordid, avaricious, contemptible, bumbling fool, who merely "stole" the 2000 election, concocted the worst terrorist attack on our nation's soil for political and financial gain, and endeavored into Iraq in "fooling" America that it posed a threat when, to quote the brilliant Jim McDermott, "There wasn't one". I would just like to share a few of the many, many, many deceits Moore has so insidiously crafted throughout "Fahrenheit 9/11", so that some of "the truth" might be exposed: The only reason released National Guard records showed James Bath's name blotted out was because Federal Law requires the National Guard to black out the names of any Guardsmen whose medical information was on the same pages as the records with which the Guard releasing Bush's health records- these privacy regulations were only enacted in April 2003, before Moore's "surprise" National Guard copy; Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia has been a bipartisan power-broker for decades, and President Clinton himself repeatedly relied on Bandar to advance his own Middle East agenda; Taliban officials came to Texas in 1997, yet what Moore neglects to tell us is that Bush never even conferred with them; Oregon State Police (and thus Oregon State government) is strictly responsible for its security; Saddam Hussein did order the murder of Americans, for example: he permitted Abu Nadal a safe haven, funded suicide bombers in Israel who killed Americans, and ordered in 1991 the assassination of the American Ambassador to the Phillipines; Iraqi intelligence documents from 1992 list bin Laden as an Iraqi intelligence asset; the enormous "defense budget cut" Moore indicts the Bush administration was held over from the Clinton administration, Bush being powerless until the following year to reverse it; 33% cut in military salary? try not initially supporting a special increase bonus of $75, but then changing positions and advocating the bonus; Moore has ZERO evidence that Bush did not view the Aug. 6, 2001 terrorism briefing; Bush on vacation 42% of first eight months in office? try meeting with leaders and traveling across the nation in giving initiatives, briefing on the budget, meeting with foreign leaders (e.g. Tony Blair), which, if you detract weekends, which Presidents typically spend in Camp David to work on initiatives, accounts to only 13% time on "vacation"!; and on and on and on... Not to mention some of Moore's horrendous hypocrises: "praising" our troops and mourning their losses? Ha! Here's a guy that openly proclaimed on his website: "The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not "insurgents" or "terrorists" or "The Enemy". They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow, and they will win. Sounds pretty sickening, especially considering that Moore pretends to be "on the side" of the troops and their families when he is actually advocating the ENEMY! Not to mention his eerie presentation of 9/11, recalling it to be a horrible, unforgettable event. Yeah, for any person of rationale and sanity! Moore on September 12, 2001: "I don't know why we're making such an issue of terrorism in this country. You're more likely to get struck by lightning than get killed by a terrorist." Despicable, isn't it. But wait, there's "Moore": (Referring to the heroic passengers who brought the plane down in Shanksville, PA): "The passengers were scaredy-cats because they were mostly white..." How can anybody with a shred of humanity and intelligence advocate or believe anything this MONSTER of a human being says or does? I am merely trying to expose the truth about a man whom many people have deemed a "great American patriot", and let you, as fellow citizens and thinking people, be the judge. President Bush was thankfully re-elected on November 2, and thus "Fahrenheit 9/11" deemed a miserable failure! Let's continue to show that our people are alive and functioning in sanity and not in sheer lunacy! I hope you're happy, Michael Moore... Zero Stars out of Four
