1. What is it about?

Where are you watching it?

[Sydnie]

3. It's about a President that has bad numbers so his people

hire a director and actors to "put on a war" to bring his numbers up. It makes one wonder ...

2. the ending is straight out of the BFEE playbook.

4. is it on tv?

[Ksec]

5. Its Iran now

I see Fox news banging the drums of war for the Reicht, and thats always a precursor of things to come. the bushites must give Faux a heads up. Then Faux starts priming the wingers and creating a boogieman.

7. The movie was thought to be about Clinton...

But if you read the book, it's obviously about Bush I.

8. Wingnuts have gone through so many stages re: Wagging

1- When CLINTON was prez and bombed terrorists, wingnuts claimed he was only wagging-the-dog.

2- When wingnuts wanted to support Shrub's aggressions, they claimed CLINTON didn't do shit about bombing terrorists.

3- When Shrub's aggressions targeted wrong targets, the wingnuts claimed that he was only doing what CLINTON had started to do and would do today.

10. Excellent Movie-I Highly Recommend it!

I saw it for the first time a couple of months ago.

The kicker is that the ending is totally believable to me...which it wouldn't have been when it first came out. The difference is that now that I know what the BFEE is capable of. :scared:
