Who saw the movie, and what was your take on it? I normally don't watch them but it was just interesting to see "inside" the head of George W I apologize ahead if this causes heat but no wonder other countries accept Canadains more, we don't start wars or always help other countries battle but Canadians are probably 90% more accepted then Americans... why is that? when you got a guy like George W bombing a country just beacause they needed someone to lay the blame on that won't make you a huge fan in other countries eyes. For thoes who haven't seen the movie you would see what I am talking about... Those who have seen what's your take on the documentary?

I really want to see it but likely won't get around to it until later next week. I look forward to other people's views on it though.

i saw it, i think some facts were streched just a bit.
yah its an oil war, there was nothing more to the film that i picked up. they keep saying bin Lnaden family this, bin Laden family that but it seems to be he kept repeating it just so we hear 'bin Laden' over and over again which adds to the effect that the movie is trying to project on the viewer.

It is terrible one sided propaganda, MM is a liberal hack and simply wants to make a point (republicans are bad, democrats are good). Election year BS... even when I am being skeptical and negative this was never a war for oil (the coalition forces in no way profited, with oil or money)... it was politically motivated not financially motivated.
The only thing that bothers me about the movie is it is a “documentary” which implies it is fair representation of historical fact and doesn’t have an agenda itself. Movies are fictional and entertaining this one is as well…
