Saw this on the idiot box last night, and it didn't paint a pretty of Bush, or, more particularly, his administration.
Some scary highlights.
General Boykin doing a Carlos and trying to say he had a picture of Satan doing his evil work over Somalia. According to one of the interviewees on the documentary, it is a picture of a fighter plane. This guy is a senior General, and likes to say that his god is bigger than his enemies.

What a sad man, if he wasn't so dangerous. I really don't care for putting him up for ridicule here, if it wasn't for the fact that this guy has armed men under his command armed with state of the art weaponary. It appears he was partly responsible for the 'black hawk down' fiasco.
The attack on him is just one of many attacks on the fundamentalist Xians who hold enormous influence over the US.
It goes to town on the 'Neo-Cons', basically labelling them a bunch of dangerous, self-confident, opionionated bigots and elitists.
Dubya is just a creature of his leaders, doing whatever it is they tell him to. As a guy who didn't even have a passport before he became president, his ignorance made him open for exploitation.
It also pointed out the way that Osama, Iraq and 9/11 were aligned in people's minds, quite deliberately.
It replayed those 'WMD' justifications for the Iraq war, and how they really were just lies.
Hans Blix was shown, who is still bitter at being pilloried for his inspections, and then vindicated by events.
The overall impression is that the lunatics have taken over the asylum, but they are nuclear armed and don't fear the consequences of their actions, they want them. Armageddon means they get magic ride to heaven.
At least the cold war was predicated on the bloody minded logic MAD, no one wanted the consequences of the act of war. MAD don't apply no more, now we have the totally frightening prospect of people with nukes under their control wanting them to go off.
Just don't flouridate Boykens water.

''And then when I thought that things could not get any worse than they already were,'' Boykin recounted, ''my wife of 25 years . . . walked in and said, 'I don't love you anymore, you're a religious fanatic, and I'm leaving you.' ''
