Cutting edge (Television program)
|
Summary |
This two part series featuring interviews with US officials, CIA operatives, US journalists and prominent figures of the post-September 11 political landscape creates a disturbing portrait of President George W. Bush. The interviews reveal that Bush and his administration are committed representatives of the Christian Right. After 9 months in power and still with no defined political programme, George W. Bush found in September 11 the best pretext for declaring war on Iraq and terrorism and for taking on a mission of a lifetime. Himself a radical reborn Christian, a neo-conservative and supportive of Zionist policy, Bush and his operation would definitely serve Israel and settle the USA as controller in the Arab Middle East. Yet to justify his move and get the American people's approval, the Bush government had to implicate - and discredit - United Nations members, political experts, journalists and diplomats alike all around the Western world.(From France, in English and French, English subtitles) |
