Mac,

I pray you are right that this is FINALLY all going to come out. However, we can be sure the Clintonistas will once again use the “Scorched Earth” tactics they used while in the WH.

Hi Gumshoe,

First, the MSM has been pushing the story that the Berger scene isn’t factual, when in fact Berger did pull the plug on the hit on Bin Laden. That’s what Patterson wrote in his book, and that’s what those who were in service then told me themselves.

Berger is lying (what else is new).

This includes Schurer as addressed in another post.

The movie is going to come out and then once everyone sees the story then the denials of story can happen, and the real debate to begin. In anycase all other pre-judging of content is premature.

“Patterson told WND he recognizes the television production conflates several events, but, in terms of conveying how the Clinton administration handled its opportunities to get bin Laden, it‚Äôs ‚Äú100 percent factually correct,‚Äù he said.”

Mac -

i realize this is C&P from WND,
but their choice of wording/presentation for Patterson’s comments is wide open to the “fake but accurate” charge.

“conflating several events”
and “factual presentation”
are a new 21st century film genre
were gonna have to call
*docu-fiction*,or something.

because of the outright politicization of events,
and despite the overt tendency
of filmmakers like M. Moore
to stroke pre-selected market segments with dramatized,slanted,
and outright false editing,
accurate info matters.

journalist/blogger Steve Vincent said “words matter”.

“accurate stories matter” as well.

sorry to nitpick.

it’s dissapointing that very many Americans would think accurate history and made-for-TV movies have a lot in common to begin with.

it’s indicative of the
“WoT as entertainment” mentality.
