Joesitz said:There seems to be a few questions arising from these posts:
l. Did Moore lie on many if not most of the scenes as are shown in the movie, and did he have an ulterior motive for making the film other than his admitting it was to discredit the need to go to war?
2 Did the President lie about the WMD as the reason to go to war, and was he concerned about other things in Iraq?

Ladskater said:Indeed, Moore's films are controversial and raise social consciousness. But is not that part of the United States freedom of speech? The freedom to express ideas - maybe not popular with everyone - but nonetheless, that's what free speech is about. Would you rather live in a controlled society? Here in Canada, pundits are always poking fun at our leaders - keeps them "on their toes!"

What I do not like is people portraying something as a "documentary" and/or "truth" when it is in fact entertainment and/or manipulation. Moore has recently said that this film is his view of the matter, not a documentary. However, the US media continues to insist that it is a documentary. It is not - it is an op-ed piece. Unfortunately, there are many, many, many people out there in the US who won't take the time to look at both sides of an issue - won't take the time to research - won't take the time to think for themselves. They believe what they see on the tv and the big screen as being the absolute truth.
