Like what, f'rinstance?

Like the bit about Afghan pipelines, f'rinstance. There aren't any.

Of course, you are correct about the pipeline's not yet being
constructed.

Moore's film puts forth the notion, that upon being made the new
leader of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, a former advisor to the Unocal
oil company, approved the construction of a natural gas pipeline
through Afghanistan. It also mentions, that VP Cheney stands to gain
from Halliburton's contracts to construct the pipeline

There's an interesting account he

I don't recall seeing where Moore implied that the pipeline had
already been constructed, so I don't consider that a to be a
falsehood.
