From Ron Suskind's book "The Way of the World"
I ask if the intelligence was passed to CIA and the White House.
"Of course. Passed instantly, at the very highest levels."
"And what did we say," I ask. "Or, I guess, what did Bush say?"
"He said, Fuck it. We're going in."

AWAY WE GO with SAM MENDES in PERSON,
and an EVENING with HAROLD RAMIS
Event dates: Tuesday, June 2, and Friday, June 12, 2009
The Museum of the Moving Image has announced two special programs that will take place in June, in addition to the previously announced New York Premiere of Food, Inc. The Academy-Award winning director Sam Mendes will participate in a discussion following a preview screening of his new movie Away We Go on Tuesday, June 2, 2009 at 8:00 p.m., at the Chelsea Cinema 9 on 260 West 23rd Street in Manhattan. And on Friday, June 12 at 7:00 p.m., the Museum will present an evening of conversation and clips with Harold Ramis, the writer, director, and actor who is the creative force behind many of the funniest Hollywood movies of the past thirty years, from Animal House to his new film Year One.
Away We Go is a whimsical and heartfelt road movie about an expectant couple on a cross-country odyssey in search of a place to set down roots and raise their baby. The original screenplay is by the acclaimed novelists Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, who are married, and wrote the film while expecting their first child. Mendes started working on Away We Go while he was putting the finishing touches on Revolutionary Road. “It was a way of letting off steam after the intensity of filming and editing” the latter, he said. “It is kind of a companion piece in that there’s also a couple who want to escape and find themselves—only this time, they do.” The preview screening is made possible by Focus Features, which is releasing Away We Go in New York on June 5.
Harold Ramis has been one of the most prolific and influential figures in American screen comedy since the 1970s. In the Times Center program on June 12, Ramis will discuss his career in a discussion with Chief Curator David Schwartz, with clips from movies including Animal House, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Analyze This, and more, including a sneak preview of scenes from his new movie, Year One, which is being released by Columbia Pictures on June 19. The evening will also includes clips from the cult-favorite 1970s TV series Second City TV, where Ramis was head writer. “As a writer, director, and actor, Harold Ramis helped liberate film comedy, with a combination of irreverence, rebellion, and wit,” said Schwartz.

The premiere screening of Food, Inc. takes place on Thursday, June 4, 2009, at 7:30 p.m., at the Times Center in Manhattan, followed by an all-star panel discussion including Eric Schlosser, whose international best-seller Fast Food Nation was the original inspiration for the film. Other panelists are: the film’s director, Robert Kenner; Alice Waters, the renowned chef of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California and a champion of locally grown ingredients; Gary Hirshberg, the chairman and president of Stonyfield Farm, the world’s leading organic yogurt producer; and Marcel Van Ooyen, the executive director of the Council on the Environment of New York City, which runs nearly fifty Greenmarkets throughout the five boroughs. The film, which is being released theatrically by Magnolia Pictures on June 12, reveals how the nation’s food supply is controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, and the environment.
