Celsius 41.11: A Rebuttal to Michael Moore

deezl writes "Michael Moore released a controversial movie revealing 'facts' about the Bush Presidency. A new rebuttal has just been released called Celsius 41.11. I would think that time sensitive political commentaries would be available for download to ensure the widest possible distribution base. If documentary makers are so interested in getting their message out and arguments across, why not encourage free BitTorrent type distribution for their movies?"

Maybe "Bush started a war for profit not liberty," but what was the end goal? Has Iraq been liberated?

No.

Are the Iraqi people better off now than with Saddam?

Possibly yes, probably not.

We see them protesting instead of having their fingers chopped off for touching an American newspaper, so that appears to be some kind of advancement.

I see protesters being mown down by American helicopter gunships instead of Iraqi helicopter gunships, though I would hardly qualify as advancement.

(That said, I don't think we should have gone to Iraq. I wouldn't sacrifice myself or my loved ones for their freedom.)

Don't worry. I'm pretty sure the 1,000 or so dead Americans did not sacrifice their lives for Iraqi freedom.

Wrong. At the time F911 came out, there was no number at all. Only in response to the movie was the number created. (And it's not 888, either)

We called the number, and it was well before Moore decided to make his film. Politicians lie, but not to the degree of simply making up a phone number. (Do you think nobody would ever call it? They certainly never made that mistake.)

The best thing that can be said about Moore's film is that it has a good soundtrack.
