Have you heard of this "docudrama"? Does it seem like something you'de watch? Have you heard the controversy?

ABC-The Path to 9/11

Could this be one of thoes Micheal Moore type movies, or like that spare change (what ever that internet thing was) movie? Could this "docudrama" be a dramatization based on the facts?

The Path to 9/11-about the show

A bit about the controversy:

NewsMax.com-ABC's 'Path to 9/11': Bill Clinton's Inconvenient Truth

There's a bunch more out there. Google it.

 

Do you think the democrats would be in such an uproar if it was saying it was the republicans that screwed up. I haven't seen any dems complaining about mad up stories like Michael Moore's.

 

It's a made for TV movie.

That in itself precludes reality.

 

It is a drama, meaning it is only based on an actual event, not a factual retelling of the event. As you all know that means a plane hit a building somewhere, sometime. It just happens to be in our county, in our time. Drama means fiction. Unlike mikey moore's it is not being sold a documentary, so the dems need to get a life and let the fictional movie play.

Their objections only serve to prove they think the American population will believe anything that is in a movie. I have a couple problems with that. 1) They think the American population is so stupid as to not know that a dramatization is not fact. I think that shows a very poor opinion of their voters. 2) All of these movies/shows the left support, whether documentary or otherwise, were in fact an attempt to sway the opinions of the American people. The lefties would be the first to say it's just entertainment, but obviously they see it as something else.

 

How do you guys always try to pin 9/11 on Clinton, when he had been out of office 9 months when 9/11 happened?

Who's the blame for empowering Osama (And Saddaam for that matter) (In the 1980's) in the first place?

It still amazes me that Clinton gets the blame for 9/11, but no credit for the stellar economy and record low employment we had from 1993-2000. Somehow, credit for that goes back past Clinton and GB, to Reagan, who spent more money than any President in History, rivaled (surpassed) only by GB:The Next Generation).

The CIA, FBI, NSA, DIA, etc.. didn't resign when Clinton left, they were still in place.I don't fault George for 9/11, but this is not Clinton's fault either.

 

So Clinton isn't responsible for the economy going to he!! in late 2000 and early 2001? Clinton and group had more than one shot at bin Laden and blew it.

 

Clinton was to busy chasing skirts to worry with that stuff.

 

Funny but when Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton and the W were approached by airline safety groups asking them to mandate that secure ****pit doors be installed (the kind of doors that would prevent hijackers from taking over the ****pit) they all refused to do so, bowing instead to the financial interests controlling the airlines.

In fact the W's administration refused to even meet with them.

Of course the W did finally agree (and promoted it like it was his own initiative) but then turned around and made the tax payers cover the cost.

And the only thing Clinton could have done to stop the economy from collapsing would have been to regulate the hell out of the stock markets and mortage lenders, something that would have had every republican in the country foaming at the mouth.

It's common knowledge that we lost over 50% of our human intel. personnel under the clinton admin. So yes, indirectly he is responsible. Fox news even brought this question to clinton the week of 9/11. He completely dodged the question on live TV.

 

I find it interesting how much attention this "docudrama" is getting. Of course it's all lies. It's a right wing political move.

New York Post-BUBBA GOES BALLISTIC ON ABC
ABOUT ITS DAMNING 9/11
MOVIE

Think Progress-Tell ABC to Tell the Truth About 9/11

Was it a different story when the michael moore movie came out?

MSNBC-Fahrenheit 9/11’ scores with critics

Common Dreams News Center-Military Families Call on Bush to See 'Fahrenheit 9/11'

I thought that Fox News was the right wing news station. ABC is too?

It looks like the liberals might get their way, ABC might pull the movie. I guess if you whine and cry loud enough you're more likely to get what you want.

 

Yeah but..... No one died when Clinton lied.

 

we could also list the acts of terrorism that occured under Reagan and Bush does that mean they're to blame?

The sad fact is, four administrations (3 republican, 1 democrat foir those who want to play partisan games) refused to make airlines take common sense security measures because they didn't want to make the airlines spend the money, now we're all paying for it regardless of whether you fly or not.

 

Yes. They both share the blame. The recent actions of some of the former Clinton administration lead me to believe that they don't feel that they should share the blame.

You are of coarse referring to terrorist acts carried out by Al Qaeda, that happened before 1993, right?
