The U.S. President, low in the opinion polls, gets talked into raising his popularity by trying to start a war....

With Canada.

Sound like a movie?

It was....

Canadian Bacon.

But here's the funny part.

I was watching the credits the other day and was surprised to see...

It was written and directed by non other than...

Michael Moore.

Well, look at it this way:

In order to help his own waning popularity, Moore started a war with the president.

Oh yeah, I forgot... He just wanted to open people's eyes...

Just seems coincidental that he made this movie, what 20 years before the Iraq War.

I think its timing was much more relevant.

Bin Laden was hanging out in Bosnia in the mid-late 90s?
