The script for part II MUST have come from Clarke's self-aggrandizing book.
And what's with that centennarian in the role of Cheney? Looked old enough to be Cheney's grandfather!

In all, it was a decent movie. However, much like the rest, I don't think they were very flattering to either Condi or Cheney. And, when did Richard Clarke become the hero of 9/11 and took charge while others just wondered what to do?

He must have wrote that part in himself

In the end, I think it shows just how encumbered our government has become by bureaucratic red tape as well as PC.

As we look beyond the movie, we see obstacles and interference everywhere we try to implement any steps and discovery or prevention of the next attack.

They showed poor results in implementation of the 9/11 Commission recommendations, but they didn't add why.

I'll be interested to see how many Liberals laud the second part while denouncing the first part tomorrow.

I watched this material. I recorded this material. When I get home
this evening, I'm simply going to hit the "delete" function on my recorder
and dump it from my hard drive. Nothing to learn from this material.

It may or may not have been too nuanced for the general public but I sensed the movie left President Bush standing in sharp contrast to the indecision, foggy legal musing, CYA obsessed, politically motivated portrayals of all but the real and created (Clark) heros. When Masoud asks "Are there any men in Washington?" my first reaction was "there are now". When the comment was made about fighting a "law and orderly war" In my mind at least that itentified what the libs and MSM are still doing by opposing our President. Maybe such things were a bit subtle but they reassured me that, as encumbered by red-tape and political infighting as he may be, our President is leading. (It was sweet music to hear the President talk in his address about eliminating "the wall" that was so much a part of the Clinton era as shown in the movie). Great timing.

The depictions of Rice and Cheney were so contrived it was obvious, especially when Clark appears in person during the followup commentary. But again, the question is...did the general public get it?

BTW a couple details showing a lack of attention to detail in the movie. Navy F-14s were never involved. Fifteen minutes from Selfridge in a tail chase of a plane going 600 knots? Come on. F-15s were launched long before portrayed and almost got to the second WTC plane. With no relevent ROE they may have had to just watch it hit but by the time of United 93 the ROE was in place, not after the fact as portrayed. The heroics of the crew and passengers not only began the fight back but probably saved an F-15 pilot from having to live with having to kill fellow countrymen and women.
