reaction when he was told that our nation was under attack? to me it looked like the typical face someone makes when "they already know" something that you tell them...

this really is not a question about micheal moore, or whethere you like him. He made the film, he did not draw that expression on the president's face. This is the question what about the reaction not the filmmaker

While Michael Moore has been widely criticized for his movie, no one can point to at least one fact in his movie and say it is not true.

In fact, Michael Moore offers a point by point source guide to his movie. If one has a problem with an assertion from Michael Moore's movie, you can go to http://www.michaelmoore.com/books-films/f911reader/index.php?id=16
and see the actual documents or other evidence that backs up Michael's movie. Can ABC/DISNEY offer this for Path to 9/11? No, because they pulled "facts" out of thier behinds.

One of my favorites:
“The White House approved planes to pick up the bin Ladens and numerous other Saudis.”

Fearing reprisals against Saudi nationals, the Saudi government asked for help in getting some of its citizens out of the country. National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Threats and Responses in 2001, Staff Statement No. 10, The Saudi Flights,
http://www.9-11commission.gov/hearings/
hearing10/staff_statement_10.pdf

“Now, what I recall is that I asked for flight manifests of everyone on board and all of those names need to be directly and individually vetted by the FBI before they were allowed to leave the country. And I also wanted the FBI to sign off even on the concept of Saudis being allowed to leave the country. And as I recall, all of that was done. It is true that members of the Bin Laden family were among those who left. We knew that at the time. I can't say much more in open session, but it was a conscious decision with complete review at the highest levels of the State Department and the FBI and the White House.” Testimony of Richard Clarke, Former Counterterrorism Chief, National Security Council, before The Senate Judiciary Committee, September 3, 2003.
“I was making or coordinating a lot of decisions on 9/11 and the days immediately after. And I would love to be able to tell you who did it, who brought this proposal to me, but I don't know. Since you pressed me, the two possibilities that are most likely are either the Department of State, or the White House Chief of Staff's Office. But I don't know.” Testimony of Richard A. Clarke before the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, March 24, 2004.

“At least six private jets and nearly two dozen commercial planes carried the Saudis and the bin Ladens out of the U.S. after September 13th. In all, 142 Saudis, including 24 members of the bin Laden family, were allowed to leave the country.”

NOTE: It should be noted that even though the film does not make the allegation, strong evidence has recently come to light that at least one private plane flew to pick up Saudi nationals while private flights were still grounded. Moreover, for nearly three years, the White House has denied that this flight existed. This was reported in the June 9, 2004 St. Petersburg Times article cited below.

After the airspace reopened, six chartered flights with 142 people,mostly Saudi Arabian nationals, departed from the United States between September 14 and 24. One flight, the so-called Bin Ladin flight, departed the United States on September 20 with 26 passengers, most of them relatives of Usama Bin Ladin.

And finally, last one, I promise:
There is one glaring difference between the records released in 2000 and those he released in 2004. A name had been blacked out. In 1972, two airmen were suspended for failing to take their medical examination. One was George W. Bush and the other wasJames R. Bath.

See National Guard Bureau, Aeronautical Orders Number 87, September 29, 1972, Attachment B, paragraph 7 (original document):
The Document as Released in 2000: Page 1 | Page 2

The Document as Released in 2004: Page 1 | Page 2

FAHRENHEIT 9/11: James R. Bath was the Texas money manager for the Bin Laden family.

See Notarized Trust Agreement, Harris County, Texas, signed by Salem M. Binladen, July 8, 1976 (original document), Attachment C (“I, Salem M. Binladen, do hereby vest unto James Reynolds Bath, 2330 Bellefontaine, Houston, Texas, full and absolute authority to act on my behalf in all matters relating to the business and operation of Binladen-Houston offices in Houston, Texas.” Notarized Trust Agreement, Harris County, Texas, July 8, 1976.

Interesting point. Consider this. The job of the presidential security detail of the Secret Service is to guarantee the safety of the President. Why did they allow him to sit in a location for about 7 minutes (possible more), when they could not insure his safety there? Standard procedure should have been to remove the President to a secure location as quickly as possible, whether he wanted to or not. Even the Chief Executive can't call off his own security.

President Bush looked like he did not want to alarm grammar school children, where he was. Mister Moore on the other hand is a wealthy treasonous fool putting out crappy third rate film school projects that liberals eat up while they unknowingly increase his wealth, making blood money on the death and misfortunes of others!

I think Michael Moore is a scumbag who profits off other people's tragedies. "Bowling for Columbine" made a joke out of 15 dead teenagers, especially considering Moore himself is an NRA member. And Moore has made more money off the Iraq than Halloburtin, including the Halloburtin shares he owns.

Does that answer your question?

Just as I answered the opther guys question about: "Why is bush letting 15,000 saudi students to come to america to study"

Because saudi has lots of money invested in the united states. If you watch the movie you will know what I am talking about.

Bush is lost without the people who write his speaches and take care of his dirty work.

Not a fan of bush, or his dad. War is all they think about.

Michael Moore is a jackass. But you'll probably get a lot of "answers" from Bush haters.
