Chuck Norris Fact: Fabricated Path to 9/11 Scene ‘Should Not Have Been In The Film’

Conservative actor Chuck Norris filled in for Sean Hannity last night on Hannity & Colmes. (He should really stick to martial arts.)

Norris commented on Hannity’s plans to broadcast the fictitious scenes that ABC cut from its controversial docudrama, “The Path to 9/11.” In one fabricated scene, which ABC acknowledges was “improvised,” former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger is shown refusing to give the order to the CIA to take a clear shot at Osama bin Laden.

Last night, Norris said, “I hate to see a movie used as a political platform, whether it’s leaning right” — which he said while gesturing to the left — “or leaning left” — said while gesturing to the right. Moreover, he said, if the Berger scene did not happen, it “should not have been in the film.” Watch it:

It’s one thing for Fox News to provide their usual biased political commentary. It’s another thing to promote discredited fiction as news. Click HERE to send a message to Sean Hannity. Demand that he tell the truth about 9/11.

Full transcript:

NORRIS: Well, honestly, I hate to see a movie used as a political platform anyway, whether it’s leaning right or leaning left. You know, when I go and see a movie and I see it talking about, you know, something on the liberal side or something on the conservative side — more conservative most of the time — I, you know, it bothers me. I don’t want to go to a movie and see this here. And the thing is now, I want to ask you, now, did Sandy Berger call George Tenet or did George Tenet call Sandy Berger, and did they confirm, did George Tenet confirm that Sandy Berger did call him and that he did tell him to back off on the attack on Osama bin Laden? Was that a fact or is it fiction? Did he confirm that he was told that?

GINSBERG: Chuck, are you asking me?

NORRIS: Uh…I’ll tell you what, yeah, Ambassador Ginsberg.

GINSBERG: Well, I can tell you that I went back and studied not only the 9/11 Commission report, Chuck, but also many of the appendices that basically were addendums and other excerpts and reports from the press. There is no doubt there had been clear communications at the time of the events leading up to the efforts by the United States to essentially target bin Laden. There is no doubt, also, based on the 9/11 Commission report, as well as by those who testified, that there is no evidence that Sandy Berger essentially nixed, vetoed, stopped any effort by the agency to target Osama bin Laden. There is nothing, no proof whatsoever to that effect, and the only effort so far to somehow prove otherwise is a distorted fictionalized television report. Irrespective of whatever you may think about Sandy Berger or what may have happened to Sandy since this television show aired — it has nothing to do with it — there is no doubt that this is, indeed, the fact and what ABC is portraying is fiction.

NORRIS: Well, you know, the thing is, that’s the kind of — I didn’t see the movie, so I don’t know, I can’t say one way or the other, but the whole thing is, is that if Sandy Berger did not do that, then he should not — this should not have been in the film.
