Just finished watching Air Force One...
Its one of my favorite movies. I love Harrison Ford as President James Marshall. I must say however that this foreign policy goals sound a lot like our current President's. Although for some reason, I would trust Harrison Ford MORE with our national security than with George W. Bush.

I also think that John Kerry is more of the Harrison Ford "President Marshall" type than Bush. I bet good ol' JK could take out any terrorist hijackers that came on board.

4. I agree

The Air Force major that William H. Macy portrayed seemed kinda weak and passive to me. But I still loved the character. I also love Glenn Close as the VP. She sure would make great presidential material.

6. I was referring mostly to the security/comms guys, but you're right.
As an Air Force enlisted man...I was rather insulted.

3. There's no doubt in my mind that, if Bush were in a similar situation...
...to that of the fictional President Marshall, he would be compliant to the point of complete obedience. He's a wussy - he proved that in 1968 and 2001 (9/11)...

5. Gary Oldman is an amazing actor.
If you need a great villain, he's your guy.
