By way of responding to Sen. McCain’s remarks about his vile film, propagandist/gourmand Michael Moore chooses to lie by non sequitur:
The Academy Award-winning documentary maker pointed out that “Fahrenheit 9-11” did not argue that Iraq was an oasis of peace. Instead, Moore noted, his film suggested that the Bush Administration stretched the truth when it argued that regime change had to be forced upon Iraq in order to avert the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction that have yet to be found.
In fact, the only statement the film made about Saddam’s Iraq was a 20-second segment of children flying kites. The message you’re supposed to take away from that was what, exactly, that the Iraqis were living under a crushing tyranny? Hardly.
This point is quite independent of any allegations on Bush stretching the truth, even if they weren’t groundless.
