Green Zone

It has been a while and a lot has happened.

I would like to address a recent movie that i have seen Green Zone. This movie like it seems most everything else anymore seems to have angered the conservatives around the US. I say like most everything else because i find that they are angry about everything from small to microscopic that they feel is not something that fits in their narrow view of their "American ideals".

Green Zone is a historical fiction type movie. It asks question what if someone had not just blindly trusted the Bush Admin intelligence and asked for reason why we kept coming up empty in search of WMD. This movie does a good job of questioning why reporters never bothered to question validity of "sources" from within WH. Now the "stretch" is that the bureaucrats had a deal in place with Iraq military to work with them in rebuild of country. Other than that though the rest was fairly accurate. Clown Bush did stand on a air craft carrier and say Mission Accomplished (nope wrong again Bush) the moronic decision to disband the Iraq military which lead to the rise of insurgency.

This leads me to why neo-cons and Conservatives hate this movie so much. They want to whitewash the 8 years of failed Bush policy and rewrite it into some romantic good triumph over evil fairy tale. You can see it on TV every day. Bush failed policy cronies Rove, Thessen, Cheney, Ect Ect waxing over mistakes. The press is complaisant in this as well. Never calling out the falsehood they peddle on daily basis on the shows. Face reality, our intelligence was wrong, we went to war with wrong country for wrong reasons. Many lives were lost and wasted in some kind of crusade to invade Iraq. So Neo cons if anything this movie is PRO American and PRO Military. Why? Because its PRO American to have the right intelligence before making decision like war and invasion of other countries. Its PRO Military to make sure that we are sending our troops to war for right reasons with facts. Sorry if these things dont work for you and your 8 year memory wipe attempt.
