"Then, after making an anodyne remark about finding "the folks who committed this act", he was whisked off in Air Force One, first to Shreveport, Louisiana and thence to an underground bunker in Nebraska, where he was hastily coached in the art of responding to the crisis in an appropriately presidential manner"



So, what their saying is they taught him to be Presidetial in about a half hour.? Give me a break!!!!

It's just a good thing we have Andrew Gumbel to set us straight about what REALLY happened and was said amongst these people he's never met, in places he's never been, during events he did not witness. He knows best!

Revisionist history. Pablum for the masses, huh, Andy. Try real journalism sometime.

Amazingly, Mr Chetwynd denies his film is propaganda in any form. He insists that everything in the film comes from the public record - either published accounts or information gleaned from his own interviews with the President, the White House chief of staff Andy Card, Mr Rove and others. "This isn't propaganda," he told the The Washington Post last week. "It's a straightforward docudrama. I would hope what's presented is a fully coloured and nuanced picture of a human being in a difficult situation."

This is the second article about this upcoming movie in which the writer appears ignorant of the state of the record.

It IS a matter of record that President Bush demanded to return to the WH over the objections of the Secret Service. That the libs have wanted to deny this fact (nothing "amazing" about the public record except to this ignorant fool) will not stop the truth from being known.

And I see the same group wants to continue to pretend the idea the AirForce One would be a terrorist target is preposterous. Yet the same types shriek how "Bush Knew" and yelp that "something" should have been done. What absolute creeps.

>> If this scenario sounds like wishful thinking cooked up by the Republican National Committee, it probably is...from the administration's point of view, it is arguably, the most successful attempt to date to recruit Hollywood to help the White House in its war on terrorism - or, in this case, its war on the Democratic presidential nominee in the November 2004 election. <<

Oh yeah, Hollywood, we just know THEY'VE always been a hotbed of RIGHT-WING activist-types. The whole crowd is overwhemingly Bush shrills. < /sarcasm>

The brits also claim Hollywood goes out of its way to make every film villian have a british accent. I don't see where they get that idea either, of course none of these snotty liberal brits have gone ANYWHERE near the source of these American films, go figure.

he continued reading to a group of primary school children in Florida even after being informed of the first plane crashing into the World Trade Centre

You mean he didn't stop reading and scream to the kids "My God, a plane has crashed in New York, run for your lives!"?

DC 9/11, was produced and written by a direct associate of the President's, Lionel Chetwynd

By the way, where are all the Hollywood movies about a sitting president, like "Air Force One," "An American President," etc. Seemed like there were a bunch of them during the 90's.

Since this article didn't say, what network is this airing on?

>Bush-backed feature film of 9/11 casts him as scourge of 'tinhorn terrorists' (VRWC alert)

Man, just imagine
the "review" Katie Couric
gives after it airs...

For what it's worth -- and not to make light of the suffering that date, my favorite anecdote from 9/11 is about what George Bush the Elder was quoted as saying once he was finally able to reach his son by phone (or vice versa). I forget the details about what flight George and Barbara had been on at the time, but they ended up in Kansas City, if I recall.

Once Dubya had his father on the phone and found out where his parents were at, he asked them, "What in the world are you doing in Kansas City?"

His father answered, "Well, it seems you grounded my plane!"

Here is an article published on September 14 (the day of the National Cathedral and bullhorn with firefighters events--events that happened after this article was written and posted), 2001.

A new world disorder

From the article:

Finally, an impatient Bush concluded that he would address the nation that night from the Oval Office. "I want to go back to Washington as soon as possible–now," he snapped to aides. "I don't want any tinhorn dictator terrorist holding me outside Washington. The American people want to see their president, and they want to see him in Washington." That ended the debate, according to aides who were traveling with him.

[an amused spectator]

According to one version of history, President George Bush was so slow to react to the momentous attacks of 11 September 2001 that he continued reading to a group of primary school children in Florida even after being informed of the first plane crashing into the World Trade Centre.

Dubya doesn't read the Free Republic (that we know of - **grin**), and we didn't know what was going on until after the second plane hit.

Andrew Gumbel is a lying Leftist a**hole, trying to re-write history.
