Every accusation in "Farenheit 911" was proven false, that there never were WMD's, that the Bush administration invented the crisis and the connection between 911 and Iraq, etc., but people still quote the lies as facts. Moore finally said " It was just satire for entertainment, it was never supposed to be a serious documentary." Hogwash. He meant it to do exactly what it did.

And the Bush administration never had reason to believe that there were WMD's. WMD's was just one of many stories that they came up with to justify an invasion of Iraq. ...connections between Al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, "terrorist training camps", etc etc - all mud thrown in the hopes that some would stick. In other words, the Bush administration was looking for a reason, any halfway-plausible reason to go to war, and to hell with whether it was actually true or not.
Thank you for clarifying my argument. Yes, those are exactly the accusations that Moore was forced to admit were all false, but those who must oppose Bush at all costs continue to repeat with no reason except "but it was in Farenheit 911! It must be true!"
Sorry, are you suggesting that the Bush administration did not encourage the idea that there was a link between Iraq and 9/11? And are you still suggesting that there were WMD's in Iraq?
There is no need for recourse to fat lefties to shake off either of these bizarre ideas. Just bringing yourself up-to-date with current affairs over the last four years will do the trick.
