Friday, Oliver Stone’s movie “W.” opened in theaters nationwide, taking a look at President Bush’s rise to power. However, former Bush administration staffers are in no rush to see the film, according to ABC News:
ABCNews.com contacted about 25 Republicans and former Bush administration staffers and found only one — former Press Secretary Scott McClellan — who would preview the film and comment on its accuracy. And even he was sqeamish. […]
“I have no plans to see it,” said Mark McKinnon, who advised Bush’s two presidential campaigns. “And I really don’t even want to do anything that brings any more publicity to the movie.” […]
Paul Wolfowitz, former deputy secretary of defense and the major architect of the Iraq War, told ABCNews.com, “Sorry, no thanks.”
A secretary in the office of Wolfowitz, who was portrayed by Dennis Boutsikaris as the Machiavellian mastermind who beat the war drum, told ABCNews.com, “Don’t hold your breath.”
Both Ari Fleischer and John Ashcroft also declined to see the film.

This movie and others about Bush that follow will be shown to future generations in schools and colleges as the worse President in the History of the US passing even Nixon. Yes when the hold truth of what this Administration has done for the pass 7 years comes to light Americans will be shocked as they are broke now. When the United Nations charges the Bush Administration with War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity justice will be served to all those who took a part in the Crimes of this Century. Look for many to claim they don't know Bush or Cheney and this Administration will be a lawyers dream as all will need good lawyers.
From what I have heard this movie is from real facts and news events, and we are still living the nightmare that W has created and to relive it right now is not a good way to spend a couple of hours.
But Jackie you are right this does depict real news events and future generations will see it and wonder why so many voted this imbecile in a second term after the worst disasterous first term.
