Book Reviews of Dude, Where's My Country?
Book Review: A Smash Hit!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow.. another fantastic book by Michael Moore! Ever since Stupid White Men, I've been a fan. Someone who writes a book that is the best selling nonfiction book ever must be saying something right. Once again, Moore rants about his favorite subject; George W. Bush. I wonder what Moore would do if Bush wasn't in the White House...While reading this book, there were a lot of things I didn't know about the events before and after 9/11. Moore opened my eyes to the lies that are going on right under American's noses.
*With approval from the FBI and the help of the Saudi government, the relatives of Osama bin Laden were allowed to leave the US, assisted by US authorities right after the terror attacks. They never went through any serious interrogation, other than a few questions that the FBI asked them.
*Days after September 11, the FBI started a search to see if any of the 186 suspects purchased guns. They found 2. Enter Attorney General, John Ashcroft. When he heard about this, he shut the search down. Why?
*In 1997, while Dubya was governor of Texas, the Taliban travelled to Texas to meet with Bush's oil & gas company friends.
*In 2002, a senior American diplomat was sent to Niger to investigate claims that Iraq had tried to buy yellow cake uranium. He concluded that the allegations were false. The White House ignored this report and kept the hoax alive.
*Weapons of mass distructions: Both Bush and Tony Blair assured people that Iraq did have mobile labs to produce WMD. Bush declared that they had infact found two of these weapons facilities. After an investigation into the two trailers, they found that they were not germ warfare labs, but were for the production of hydrogen to fill artillery balloon as the Iraqis had said all along. Yes, Saddam did at one point have WMD, but they were given to him by the US. In fact, the US also supplied Saddam with such biotoxins as Anthrax, Botulisim and many more. Even many US companies assisted Iraq in making the WMD:
Hewlett Packard
AT&T
DuPont Kodak
While Bush had tried so hard to convince everyone that Saddam and Osama bin Laden were working together on the 9/11 attacks, a memo was leaked that said there were no links between Saddam and Osama. In fact, bin Laden considers Saddam to be an infidel.
When Bush decided to attack Baghdad, he used so called "precision-guided" bombing that is accurate to almost an inch. After two bombing campaigns, 9000 civilians were murdered. So much for accuracy.
How is it any different that when the US kills civilians, it's called "collateral damage" but when anyone else kills US citizens, it's called terrorism. What about the 9000 dead in Iraq?
Instead of telling everyone else to get rid of their WMD, how about starting at home in the US? It's a bit hypocritical to start a war based on the fact that Iraq supposedly has WMD, when everyone knows that they exist on US soil.
Oprah for President!
Book Review: A Touch Of Reality!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book reveals the flip side of the of Bush Administration coin. Michael Moore exposes the current administrations greed, propoganda, and its promotion of fear and misguiding the American Public in the war against Terrorism. If you enjoy media that isn't "canned American news" then this is a book you will enjoy and will want to read over again.
I enjoyed this book.
Book Review: A Truly American Author Once Again Speaks Out
Summary: 4 Stars
(You can find this review one my website, at http://alexcacioppo.blogspot.com, save for some revisions.)I finished reading Michael Moore's new book, aptly titled, Dude, Where's My Country? last night. The sequel to his previous book, Stupid White Men ...And Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation!, his new book deals with everything from 9/11 to the 2nd Gulf War (you know, that War in Iraq thing), makes note of the truthfully un-American USA PATRIOT Act, describes with lucidity the irrational state of fear we all went through after September 11th, discusses the Democratic candidates for the 2004 election, and asks "George of Arabia" seven questions about events surrounding 9/11. One of the chapters, entitled, "Woo Hoo! I Got Me a Tax Cut," has Michael Moore talking about how he received a tax cut and how he's spending all of it on getting rid of Bush in 2004.
Kudos, Mr. Moore. And I can't wait for your upcoming film, "Fahrenheit 9/11," which is due to come out sometime next year. (Rumor has it that he is planning to premiere the film on the day before the Presidential election. Brilliant.)
Book Review: A Very Enlightening Read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has opened my eyes to what I have always felt and that is the censorship of the news to Americans is real and happening everyday. The contents is backed with facts that are documented at the end. Mr. Moore uses a light hearted, comical way of making his point and getting the reader to see the dubious tactics of the Bush administration and his followers. The information makes you upset and at intervals I had to put the book down to cool off. However it is amazing that intelligent Americans would allow the Bush administration to get away with so much underhanded policies and lies. This book is very hard on the Bush Administration and its policies toward war, economy, and environment and I am sure those that love Bush will hate this book. I find it very revealing and hopefully after reading this book Americans will ask questions about the conduct of the Republicans and their leader George Bush.Book Review: A Very Funny and Liberal view of Bush's America....
Summary: 5 Stars
Michael Moore is pissed, why? Because we live in a fictionous time, and we have a fictionous President who sent us into a fictionous war. Michael Moore points out on 9/11 when the all commercial planes were grounded, why was the Bin Laden's FLOWN back to Saudi Arabia and had the Air Force make sure that they didnt get hit or anything? Did you know that Bush as governor of Texas, that he made a deal with the Taliban through his oil company? He wanted to run a pipeline through Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia to Turkey for natural gas? Also he wanted to give $100 million dollars to the Taliban for the construction of the pipeline? Also do you know that the Saudi Prince call Bush 'Badbar Bush'? Also here are a couple of things that some conservatives said about 9/11: 'We need to invade their countries and convert them to Christinary.' Ann CoulterWHAT? Is this a crazy woman like it says on her braclet? I dont know. Also it talks about how the conservatives say that due to the lack of approval of France over the war in Iraq, and how like they should do this and that, but are Conservatives stupid? It was the French that helped us fight off the English during the Revolutionary war, it was also the French who trained the Colonial soldiers to shoot, and how to fight in battle. So how can the conservatives be so pissed off? Because they know that liberials are the big head right now, and they are tired of seeing the Liberals having all the control.
Michael Moore then goes into how big coporations are getting HUGE tax cuts, while people who pay little or no taxes get NOTHING! Just 3 dollars or a little more, while Michael Moore got more than $10,000,000 on tax cuts. So what does Mike do? He is going to make the people decide to how to spend his tax cut money. Michael Moore goes into a lot of detail about how the Saudi royals are running the country, and how they are friends with us because we just want their oil, and also while they kill their own citizens in public executions. The book gets very interesting from page one, and he is funny. Read this book if you are a liberal, and screw the Consertivies!
