The bad guy is a nice guy and the cold blooded killers save a CIA agent.

Anyone NOT understand that Hollywood is divorced from reality...?

Terrorists have labeled themselves, we need to kill them and not coddle them.

Barbara Streisand. Clowney is all for labeling them, so long as the label is something akin to 'freedom fighter'.

"But in the hands of actor/producer George Clooney, the story changes Saddam into an benevolent Arab prince. And Hezbollah saves the agent's life. Americans are shown to be greedy and corrupt, while suicide bombers are presented as freedom fighters."

Shilling for his movie "Syriana". Probably is confusing a fictitious movie for fact - so many in Hollywierd have that affliction - star in a movie like you are Rambo and you honestly believe you can take on anybody based on your strength and make believe firepower. They are little kids that never grew up, very immature and we must never let these libs back in power because they will get us all killed. This guy is going to run for Congress and follow in the footstep of his uncle (Rosemary's brother?).

I'm just a red-neck but I think I understand terrorists just fine. They want me and mine dead. I want them to die before that happens. What could be simpler than that!

Yes. Make them dead, no nasty labelling. Although a little tag pinned on the big toe might be okay for a short while.

That of course is assuming you can actually distinguish the big toe from the rest of the former terrorist - but in some cases I suppose that is doable. In many cases, of course, it won't be.

"you need to understand what it is that creates the people who would do such horrible things"

Georgey boy, I agree with you. And, I do understand. Here is "what it is"...

Do you understand?

Oh, no, it was a flop because of the efforts of a vast group of right wing conspirators.

Thought I'd scoop the dumb bastard.

Hi, PJ:

According to Boxofficemojo.com, "Syriana" has pulled in $39,631,524 Domestically. Opposite a $50,000,000 plus budget.

As of yet, there is NO overseas release date... Odd, considering the film was released on November 23rd. Maybe there's a problem with "dubbing" the dialogue into Farsi and other foreign languages.

Overall, I'm guessing there's a whole MESS of people between the coasts who don't care to "Understand" the enemy.

Jack.

Since only about half of the box office goes to the studio, that means the studio only earned about $20 million so far from ticket sales for a net loss of over $30 million. FLOP!

Hey Georgie, get off your hands & knees and wipe your chin.

You know, I understand that some people really are just stupid. I also understand the correlation between being really stupid and thinking that you're really, really smart. But holy crap. Shut up, George Clooney. Shut up, shut up, shut up. I can't help but think that if these sympathetic freedom fighters were to bomb the Malibu Starbucks, or perhaps the site of Clooney's new Vegas "giving some of the proceeds to the poor- canonize me!" Hotel and Casino, he might have a slight change of heart.

Pardon me, but Hollywood? You want to know why your box office is tanking like the Titanic? This is why. Yes, ticket prices are insane, the concession stand rapes your wallet, DVDs are more convenient, and 80% of your movies are crap, but a lot of people will overlook these facts, just as they have for years. What they do not so easily overlook are your bunch of kook terrorist-sympathizing celebrities who constantly remind us that they make millions of dollars off their ignorant, elitist America-bashing while the grown-ups are busy keeping dirty bombs off of LA city buses.

When dealing with Terrorists there is only one imperative: Kill or Capture (and don't work hard on the latter!)!
