Would you add anything to my F/911 Michael Moore response?

[rjx]

On a discussion board someone said this ...
"And I assume you believe that the Columbine shooting happened because American news shows violence unlike Canada which was shown in Michael Moore's other movie. Don't tell me you're one of these morons that actually believed all the lies in Farenheit 911? Come on, you honestly think that 9/11 was actually a business deal gone bad? Give me a break. I don't support 75% of Bush's policies, but even a monkey could see that this was a made up story.'

This is what I wrote, but didn't submit yet...
How the fuck did I miss this post? Well i am glad that I found it.

I will make this fast. If Moore is such the liar that the Republican talk show host's say, then why hasn't the Administration taken Moore to court? Why haven't they accused him of lying? Cause he didn't!! Moore was just another victim from Karl Rove. Thats it.

Please, how are factual events lying? I assume that if you had actually seen F/911 and are up to date with current events you would not be repeating the rightwing talking heads propaganda as facts.

1. He was responding to this

#1 Prior to being President, Bush was Governor of Texas.

#2 Bush's biggest financial backers = oil companies of Texas.

#3 One of the companies is called UNICAL.

#4 UNICAL had been negotiating with the Taliban in order to get permission to make an oil pipeline flowing through Afghanistan to the Caspian Sea so that they could transport the oil and make $$$$$$$$$$

#5 Bush as Governor, invited the President of the Taliban and top Taliban leaders to make friends.

NO agreement was made!

#6 Bush is President & the Taliban was threatened!

3 months later 9/11 happened.

#7 Dropped 22,000 bombs on Afghanistan, but we didn't get OBL!

We did topple the Taliban.

#8 Bush got Hamid Karzai in as President of Afghanistan.
Karzai had been the SR. consultant of UNICAL to negotiate the agreement in Afghanistan before becoming the President.

#9 First legislative thing Karzai did as President was sign an order allowing UNICAL to make that pipeline !!!

2. You have #5 wrong. There was an agreement - with a firm from

Argentina. Papers were signed and they were ready to go. At the same time Bush is trying to drum up support in Europe for an invasion of Afghanistan - in May-June timeframe.

3. rjx.... don't try to convince anyone who thinks Moore is a lier to think

otherwise. It is no use. If that person can't see that Moore has done his homework and called a spade a spade, nothing you can say will change their mind. If the big chimp himself admitted to what he did.... they would find some way to justify it. Take the present day gannongate.... if that had been Clinton's people that put a mole in as a journalist not to mention he was gay, impeachment proceedings would have already been started.

IMHO.... :toast:
