Would you consider this a US current event?

Question

Democrats urge ABC to withdraw 9/11 news. Hopefully this is the right topic in this category.

Answer 1

I heard Bill Clinton sent the Chairman of Disney a four page letter demanding that the mini-series either be edited or dropped. All the usual suspects have now joined in, including Richard Clarke which is weird, because he comes out looking better than anyone.

The film covers the period from the first attack on the WTC in 1993 until 9/11, so of course most of the events take place during the Clinton years. From what I hear, the film makes it very clear that it's the terrorists, not Clinton or the Libs that are the enemy.

It's a real shame that the Libs can't tolerate any examination of the Clinton administration. IF there are inaccuracies in the film, they're certainly welcome to offer their evidence after it airs.

When Micky Moore's Fahrenheit 911 came out, you didn't see the Conservatives demanding that theaters not show it.

Answer 2

It's political posturing. The Democratic party has nothing new to say and the biggest stumbling block between them and the election is proud conservative Americans. Get rid of the 9-1-1 talk and the liberals may have a chance.

The liberals do NOT care about you and me....only their agendas. And their selves.

Answer 3

It's a current controversy. It's a stupid approach to the issue.

A much more effective strategy would have been to come out saying that it was an interesting work of fiction, and that they are glad to live in a free country where any portrayal, no matter how factually incorrect, can be openly discussed.

That would have diffused the issue. Fighting against it just makes it even stronger.

Answer 4

Yes, I do. The upcoming ABC special "Path to 9/11" is said to include a segment that faults President Clinton for weakening the U.S. and missing opportunities to deal with Islamofascists when it was much easier than when President Bush inherited this dangerous situation we are in. The Clintons and supporters have demanded that ABC edit that segment out.

I may not agree with everything that President Bush has done, but the Clintonites certainly criticise President Bush, and applaud the misleading Michael Moore and company from releasing negative attacks on President Bush, but they can't take any criticism about their beloved president? This is absurd and a classic case of double-standards. Outrageous!

I implore each and everyone of you to contact ABC and demand that they not bow to Clintonites demands to edit the ABC special segment. Let freedom reign, let freedom of expressions reign. I thought that only the Democrats are champions of that cause. I guess I was wrong!

For those who continue to write that no facts exists that President Clinton weakened the U.S. are living a fantasy and are denying reality. Has everyone forgotten about the 1st terror attack on the World Trade Center, or the attacks on U.S. interests, or the attack on the Cole? These all happened under President Clinton who chose not to deal with Islamofascist threats when it was much easier to do so under his administration.

I certainly don't like everything that President Bush has done, but the reality is that he inherited this dangerous situation from his predecessor. The 2nd terror attack on the World Trade Center was years in the making. There is no denying that. I voted for Clinton, I must admit, but in retrospect, though his presidency was marked by good economy, he has done very poorly with defense and protection of U.S. interests. Even his FBI director has repeatedly said that Clinton has weekend the FBI and CIA. Freedom must reign, and the unedited ABC special must air.

I further read that some people claim that this ABC movie is not based on facts, and even though it claims to be based on the 9/11 Commission Report, it is not. That is completely incorrect.

For all those saying and writing this, I would encourage you to re-read the 9/11 Commission Report. Start on page 339, a chapter called "Foresight -- and Hindsight." Page 340 - 342 strongly discusses the numerous reports and intelligence gathering under Clinton administrataion (specifically 1993 - 1999) and warning that the Clinton Administration chose to disregard, and enjoy the prosperity of the world during that time rather than look ahead and deal with a growing threat in its diaper stages. Please, please re-read the 9/11 Commission Report before you make additional incorrect and misleading comments.

I voted for Clinton both times, and in retrospect, aside from good economy, he sacrificed and undermined our security, though I am sure unintentionally, simply not having foresight of Islamofascism or being too busy with other social events to care about what intelligence reports were stating.

Answer 5

I will say yes, because I would project the motivation is to not stir up pro-war sentiment by replaying and revisiting the 9-11 carnage. Thus, it applies to swaying current public opinion about the war-current events.

Answer 6

Well if ABC withdrew Fahrenheit 9/11 they should do the same.

Answer 7

Why aren't the Republicans screaming from the mountain tops ??

Answer 8

Where are all the conspiracy nuts now?
