The notion that oil motivates America's military engagements in the Middle East is often disregarded as nonsense or mere conspiracy theory. In Blood and Oil, bestselling author and Nation magazine defense correspondent Michael T. Klare challenges this conventional wisdom and corrects the historical record. The film unearths declassified documents and highlights forgotten passages in prominent presidential doctrines to show how concerns about oil have been at the core of American foreign policy for more than 60 years -- rendering our contemporary energy and military policies virtually indistinguishable. In the end, Blood and Oil calls for a radical re-thinking of US energy policy, warning that unless we change direction, we stand to be drawn into one oil war after another as the global hunt for diminishing world petroleum supplies accelerates.

Pirated satellite feeds revealing U.S. media personalities’ contempt for their viewers come full circle in Spin. TV out-takes appropriated from network satellite feeds unravel the tightly-spun fabric of television—a system that silences public debate and enforces the exclusion of anyone outside the pack of journalists, politicians, spin doctors, and televangelists who manufacture the news. Spin moves through the L.A. riots and the floating TV talk-show called the 1992 U.S. presidential election.

在911攻擊前夕，有400人宣誓效忠蓋達組織和賓拉登，然而，911之後，經歷了18年的反恐戰爭，如今信奉賓拉登理念的人卻比2001年的時候還多。究竟是哪些決定導致了911事件後的18年間，恐怖主義非但沒有被剷除，甚至更加擴大？ 關鍵的一刻是布希在911後發表的演說中臨時加上的一句話：「我們會對支持恐怖組織的國家追究責任」。在之後的國安會議上，布希勾勒出戰爭藍圖，想利用這個機會「擺脫」阿富汗、敘利亞、伊朗、伊拉克等國家的恐怖組織。於是，對付911恐攻的行動，就被升級成全球反恐戰爭（GWOT）。 然而，為了討好民意而宣戰的全球反恐戰爭，卻面對著一個致命的危險——你不可能打贏恐怖，恐怖不是實體；恐怖攻擊是戰術，是方法，恐怖主義的用意是恐嚇。用戰爭這個詞是抬舉恐怖份子，提升他們的聲望。前美國國防政策諮詢委員會主席李查‧裴爾指出，美國對恐怖主義宣戰時，只用戰術對抗威脅，卻忽略了背後的政治脈絡與意識形態的問題。歸根究底，恐怖主義的重點是傳播，恐怖行動不會從政治面改變這些受其威脅的國家，傳達極端的政治訊息才是重點。 戰爭的邏輯讓美國進入阿富汗，並且就為了那句臨時脫稿演出的那句話「我們會對支持恐怖組織的國家追究責任」，美國堅持「政權更替」，主張要消滅恐怖主義的邪惡，重建阿富汗等國家，正如二次大戰後他們成功重建日本和德國。但曾在歐洲行得通的事，在阿富汗及伊斯蘭世界其他地方卻失敗了。強行推翻阿富汗與伊拉克等國的政府，結果卻讓自己陷入鎮壓叛亂行動中，難以脫身。正如一些人的預料，這場戰爭就像用鎚子敲打水銀、像是踢到蟻丘，隨之而來蓬勃發展的反抗，讓聖戰概念更加失控地散播出去。 前國防部長倫斯斐在談阿富汗戰爭時，坦承：「這話或許讓人震驚，但我想沒有人預料到這樣的結果，沒有人瞭解或有概念我們要在那裡待多久、會有多少人傷亡等等……沒有人想清楚，沒人好好想過，我們就直接行動。」 從賓拉登本人的聲明中可以看到，911恐怖攻擊的真正目標，並不在於炸毀世貿雙子星大樓，這些攻擊不過是個挑釁，用意是引誘美國在伊斯蘭教土地上開戰，讓美國人越陷越深、精疲力竭，同時激發廣大穆斯林人口的敵意。反恐戰爭是一場自我毀滅的戰爭，有如齒輪連動般環環相扣，重複著暴行與報復的循環。 美國為了911恐攻對阿富汗發動反恐戰爭，但對恐怖主義的含糊定義卻導致嚴重後果：誰是恐怖份子？可以對他們嚴刑逼供嗎？可以針對恐怖份子居住的社區進行「目標暗殺」，而導致無辜人員死傷的「附帶損害」嗎？ 這些問題不只是司法或道德爭議，更改變了這場戰爭的本質。 2002年2月7日，布希總統以總司令身份寫下第二份秘密備忘錄，亦即所謂的「刑求備忘錄」，聲稱「日內瓦公約沒有任何條款，適用於我們在阿富汗或世界各地與蓋達組織的衝突」。2002年12月，美國國防部長倫斯斐簽署授權，允許關塔那摩基地以刑求作為「進階偵訊技巧」，此後虐囚行為有如病毒傳染一般，演變成美軍在阿富汗和伊拉克偵訊的普遍手段。然而，衝突因此雪上加霜，美軍在阿布格萊布監獄和關塔那摩基地的虐囚事件，成了對手招募叛軍的有效宣傳。 聯邦調查局特別探員阿里‧蘇凡認為：「就算贏了戰爭，我們也會輸在關塔那摩。」比起恐怖份子的攻擊，反恐戰爭失去正當性的殺傷力可能更大。在2002－2008年間，擔任法國對外安全總局局長的皮耶‧布羅尚，更稱美國脫離司法體系的決定為「致命的錯誤」——「因為西方國家和聖戰士間的戰鬥，並非好人和壞人的戰爭，也不是善惡之戰，而是價值觀與文化之戰。所以要是發動這種戰爭時拋棄了自己的價值觀，放棄自己的文化，就會成為眾矢之的，讓自己處於極為不利的地位。」 2003年，美國國務卿鮑爾對聯合國安理會發表演說，提出美國對伊拉克開戰的理由，指稱海珊持有大規模毀滅性武器，而且與蓋達組織有關係。後來卻發現這場演說的消息來源，不是未經證實的指控，就是徹底的謊言。鮑爾的演說登上各大頭條，將戰爭推銷給全球。然而，當年協助撰稿的國務卿幕僚長威克森上校卻坦言：「我十幾年來沒有一晚能安眠」。 戰爭不只在中東地區造成了具體廢墟，也在所有涉及這場戰爭的人心中留下傷痕。美國所發起的這場「全球反恐戰爭」，恐怕將反過來成為危及美國生活方式、價值觀和民主的最大敵人。

This film reveals why, for the first time, he could not obey.

空军一号是对搭载美国总统的任何美国空军飞机的称呼，目前美国总统最常用的是两架VC-25A飞机，尾号28000和SAM 29000。两架飞机是改装过的波音747-2G4B民航机。在28000和SAM 29000于1990年开始服役之前，空军一号是两架波音707-320B飞机，尾号26000和27000，这两架飞机从1958年起就开始服役了。 空军一号主要改装了飞机的内部装璜和设施，以更适合总统在空中行驶其职责，飞机上有休息区、办公区、两个厨房、一个手术台、药房、通讯系统、电话和电视机等。此外还特别为总统的家人、白宫员工和媒体记者保留了空间。在诸如核战争等紧急状态中，空军一号也可以成为一个军事命令中心。此外还加入了空中加油的设备以及反地对空系统。 空军一号的所有飞行都属于空军的军事行动，由位于马里兰州的安德鲁空军基地的总统飞行组负责。从白宫到安德鲁空军基地总统一般先要搭乘美国海军陆战队的专用直升机海军陆战队一号。同样的，搭承总统的陆军交通工具被称为陆军一号，搭承总统的海军交通工具被称为海军一号，而搭载总统的民航飞机则被称为执行一号（Executive One）。 将总统的飞机称为“空军一号”是在艾森豪威尔总统时代开始的，主要是为了安全原因。当年有一个拥有与总统飞机同样代号的民航飞机正好与总统专机一起进入同一个空域，从此之后总统的飞机就有了一个特殊的名字，以和其他所有航班区别。 两架总统专机只有当总统在飞机上时才被称为空军一号。当1974年尼克松总统辞职，然后搭乘总统专机离开安德鲁空军基地时，飞机的代码被改成了飞机的尾号，只有当继任的福特总统正式接任后，才恢复了空军一号的代号。 “空军一号”已经成为总统权力的象征，她伴随美国总统多次执行外交任务，并见证了许多历史性时刻：1963年11月22日，空军一号SAM 26000将总统约翰·肯尼迪带到了达拉斯，肯尼迪却不幸被暗杀，副总统约翰逊就是在空军一号上宣誓继任美国总统的；1971年，空军一号又陪伴了尼克松总统完成了历史性的中国之行；2004年在高度保密的状态下，空军一号搭载小布十总统到伊拉克首都巴格达国际机场探望驻扎当地的美军部队。
