Hollywood Rewrites History with movie "Argo"

[PaulGuelph]

Canadians rescued 6 Americans form Iran, but a fictional film gives the credit to the CIA instead.  

Apparently whole sections of the film are fictitious, such as the ending with police chasing the plane down the runway. Never happened.

Afflect, who made a name for himself portraying negative stereotypes of bumbling, moronic men is to blame.

Former President Jimmy Carter said today "Ninety percent of the contribution to the ideas and the consummation of the plan was Canadian and the movie gives almost full credit to the American CIA," he said. Carter said the true hero was the Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor.

It would similar if France made a movie showing that they liberated themselves and the Allied Armies played a minor role.

Arrogant and shockingly ungrateful.

The producers had a budget to recoup and make profit over. They must have figured that doing so would be harder if they made a bunch of Canucks the heroes of the show.

Don't forget that the movie was made while the Keystone XL pipeline was discussed in the media as Satan's appendage extending from Canada through the virginal territory of the USA.
