"Rosspilot" wrote in message ... Fortunately, nothing more needs to be done to get baby Bush out of office than wait for the Presidential election in November. Michael Moor's latest hit cinematic documentary provides all the information necessary for any thinking American to make the right choice. A better description is a "mockumentary". Moore's film is so full of falsehoods, it's funny. Like what, f'rinstance? Like the bit about Afghan pipelines, f'rinstance. There aren't any. The rest of the movie is just about as accurate as that. It is about as much a documentary as "JFK" or "The Day After Tomorrow" were. Disney's cartoon "Pocahontas" was probably more historically accurate, even though that film had the main character's age, appearance, political opinions, and love interests wrong. "Fahrenheit 9/11" makes "The Core" look like a respected text on physics by comparison. |

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 http://corpwatch.radicaldesigns.org/article.php?id=6008 http://www.globalpolicy.org/socecon/tncs/2002/cheneyafghan.htm, and the Bush family ties to the Carlisle Group pose a conflict of interest http://www.hereinreality.com/carlyle.html. There's an interesting account he http://www.thedubyareport.com/oilwar.html 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. |
