Hanks had help with this one big time. Charlie Wilson for starters was in interesting character so that was there before a book or screen play was written. Hanks didn't even bother to mention he had one of the best screen and teleplay writers ever writing for him and we did defeat the russians in afgan i don't know who said that below but we did and we did screw up afterwards not rebuilding afgan after the russons were out. imagine the world today if we did. more proof on reagan being stupid.

[hiltonfriersonwr]

and humiliated by his highly imaginative opponents. See this film free @ Movie Watcher [dot] US

[solaiman1234]

this is a great film and this is BASED on a TRUE STORY...i like the PART when the mujahidin shot the HELICOPTER and the other 2 helicopters... ahahahha.. STUPID RUSSIANS...they are 93 % EVIL and 7 % GOOD...and the TALIBAN is not really a TERRORIST, THEY are just fighting for their RIGHTS...AMERICANS and BRITISH don't know what is HUMAN RIGHTS... i hope there will be a WORLD PEACE between CHRISTIANS and MUSLIMS...!!!!!!!! i hope so..

[Dremple]

Perhaps you don't see the Hippocrocy in your statement, but it is there. Generalizing is a good tool , and so are you. I too work and wish for world Peace, and quit blaming. DO SOMETHING

[spankeydmonkey]

To denbenenki- The Afghanistans defeated the Russians with American Stinger Missles. Which Charlie provided. The Communist party went under after the Afghan defeat. The Republicans are trying to place the blame squarely in Charlie's court. However, Reagan Took Full Credit for the defeat of the Soviet Union. Even though it was Charlie's Doing. Which is it! Reagan or Charlie won the Cold War? You Republicans can't have it both ways!

[mysteryskateteam]

the guy who directed this mke nichols lives in my building

[denbenenki]

We share the responsibility. We failed to help them rebuild Afghanistan

-Texas Representative Charlie Wilson on who to blame for the attacks on 9/11. History Channel.

Against the advice of the CIA and the Pentagon, Pres. Reagan approved the shoulder-fired Stinger missile be supplied to Al-Qaeda.

[denbenenki]

13 years later, when the US invaded Afghanistan, an abnormal number of helicopters crashed. Though the military reported pilot error, it was Stinger missiles bringing them down. The same happened in Iraq.

President Reagan must share the responsibility of our downed helicopters

-Texas Representative Charlie Wilson could very well have said.

[davehorse2007]

wow. :( this vid makes me so sad. some1 msg me!! xD c

[shoutforit]

ISI rules.

[rw5791]

Once the soviets got their butts kicked America lost interest in afghanistan.A civil war ensued with the pro-soviet regime falling first followed by a northern alliance and taliban conflict lasting right up until 911.

[Brdl]

The only propaganda bullshit in this movie is, that they acted like Amerika had good intentions.

But most movies have alot more propaganda, so this one's good!

[hamace]

What do you think our intention was?Im pretty sure it was to hault Soviet aggression.Did we not accomplish that? Were the soviets a threat to everyone who opposed them?

[timmythetwinky]

one of my favorite movies...

[DinoPal]

Tom u so stupid if u saying russians were defeated in Afgan

[blacktreemedia]

(DinoPal) is that not the truth? I am not saying that it is, but I will say that is the story we are taught here in America. Keep in mind that we are also taught that Christopher Columbus discovered America when their were definitely American Indians. We get all type of misinformation, and the story of the Afghan War has always read in our books as if they pushed back the Russians and won a long war.

[DinoPal]

blacktreemedia The defeate was in Vietnam then Vietkong blust through the gate in Saigon with T-55 and made GI's drop helos from ships to make rooms for escape. In Afganistan Soviets just left, couse the war was pointless due huge support of the US. But even after Soviets left - THE PROMOSCOW GOVERNMENT WAS IN POWER FOR THREE MORE YEARS BEFORE US SUPPORTED TALIBAN FINNALY MANAGE TO CAPTURE CITY. Tom called that defeat???????

[blacktreemedia]

DinoPal, I think everybody has heard that the US supported the Taliban, but for some reason, the country is in denial of that. We know it to be true, yet we want to believe that these guys woke up and hated America from birth because we are the 'Land of the Free'. I am going to do some fact checking on your story, honestly, I really don't know what happened in Afghanistan, I definitely never figured out what happened in Vietnam. The truth is elusive.

[hamace]

You hear what you wanna hear.There is no secret that our ancestors removed Indians from the lands they wanted.Sobeit there was nothing new about that. No one thinks CC discovered the USA sure that is the quick story.All the facts ar available to anyone interested in learning them.The US never hid its sins nor should we apologize for the hard fought nation we enjoy today

[MARZ8734]

@DinoPal Didn't the Russians have to leave Afghanistan because of the insurgency?

[abdifitahabdulla]

tom:" I know how you feel"

HAAHHHAAAAHAHHAA

[anamolina]

Tom Hanks is the man!!

[axj9213]

It is a great movie. I am the in the opening scene of the movie.

[ZIVONZivon]

We Afghans we never forget the support people like charlie Wilson and Pres Regan provided to us during, Soviet -Afghan war. the only mistake was to walk away and leave billions $'s worth of weapons in the hands of different people without an organisaTION AND ESTABLISHED GOVERNMENT

[koolala]

In 2002, Wilson called Massoud, who was assassinated on 09-09-01, "a Russian collaborator." I find it disingenuous that Wilson and his Hollywood biographers now want to throw their arms around him.

[koolala]

During the 1980s, Wilson engineered the appropriation of approximately $3.5 billion to help the Afghans fight the Soviets. According to Milt Bearden, CIA chief of station to Pakistan, Massoud received less than 1 percent of it.

[koolala]

So, if Massoud was not receiving the $3.5 billion that Congress was sending, who was? There were seven factions based in Pakistan who were the recipients of American largesse, but about 40 percent of it went to a blood-thirsty, fundamentalist, loudly anti-American bastard named Gulbaddin Hekmatyar.

[koolala]

It was Hekmatyar and Sayaf who, with bin Laden, established terrorist training camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan. That is why after 9/11, Wilson went on Fox News and said, "This was as much my fault as anybody's."

[asumazilla]

That would have made a good ending to the film.

[redmustang03]

If anyone wants to see the real mf Charlie Wilson interview and what really happened go to proudarmydad account and it will tell what really happened. The movie was pretty accurate from the real thing. A lot of scenes actually did happen in real life.

[8data]

tom hanx and will smith they are legends of lixeability

awesome careers

[bmanfitzroy]

"I got to get back to D.C., they setup a briefing for me at Langley" Langley is in Virginia...maybe it was just a different subject he was talking about. Anyone catch that?

[GQ5577]

Langley, Virginia is where the CIA headquarters, not far from DC; everyday somebody from that HQ go to the Whitehouse to deliver the daily intelligence report to the president.

[michaeldblack]

what is the song at the beginning of the video?

[thirion1850]

wonder y america is doing so much propaganda against russia... we werent DEFEATED in afganistan, we went out on our own will cuz the war was POINTLESS!!

[Brashful]

Propaganda? "So much?" Hardly anyone is seeing this film, (which isn't bad and isn't amazingly great either)so you can call Putin and tell him to put away the Plutonium 210. Quit being paranoid. They make films about a lot of things.

[gdfyr]

tom hanks for ever man

[blacktreemedia]

(Question Posed to all viewers) What if anything does Charlie Wilson's War have to do with Bhutto's Assassination?

[bearfightsmedia]

Pakistan?

[blacktreemedia]

? Yeah, is there a link to the political actions depicted in Charlie Wilson's War, and the Assassiation of Bhutto in Pakistan

[tdpear38844]

that's a different bhutto, smartguy.  her father was a leader who was assasinated, thats the only reason anyone ever heard of her, because of her dad.

[Consentient]

Blacktree, are you claiming there's a direct causal link, to put it in legal terms, between the events of the 80s and the assassination of Bhutto the other day?

Let me pose a question: Had the american hand in the return of Bhutto been kept secret, would Bhutto still be dead today?

[blacktreemedia]

that is a good way to put it, 'casual link'. That is a good question you posed also, the answer depends on whether she was killed for being a 'puppet' to the Americans, or whether she was killed because of Musharaf (sp?) not wanting her to threaten his power. The jury is out on that one. It could be neither. But I wonder if any of our other viewers can offer insight.

[blackassyrianr9]

Tom Hanks VERY GOOOD !!!!

[IKnowWhatyaThinkin]
