Moore claims that Bush was unable to get his legislation passed prior to September 11. Oops! Both Houses of Congress passed Bush's tax cut - you know, the one that has resulted in the greatest economic growth rate in two decades. According to Moore, the war in Afghanistan had nothing to do with the fact that the Taliban harbored the terrorists who attacked us. Rather, the war had to do with the building of a pipeline through Afghanistan so that natural gas could be brought from the Caspian Sea, and the scheme involved a dark cadre of companies that were led by the oil giant Unocal. Oops! Unocal dumped the pipeline idea back in the late 1990s. The film indicates that, in the days following 9/11, exit flights of Saudis, a few of whom bore the last name of bin Laden, took place at a time when other air traffic was grounded. Oops! The flights actually occurred when the aircraft ban was lifted. And the guy who made the decision was one of Moore's soul mates - Bush's former counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke. Moore claims that the ex-leader of Iraq never threatened, attacked or killed any Americans. Oops! For an entire decade Saddam Hussein tried to shoot down American planes as our pilots patrolled the no-fly zones. And he offered rewards to the families of suicide bombers in Israel. And he tried to assassinate former president George H.W. Bush. And he gave safe haven to the notorious Abu Nidal, a terrorist whose group has been blamed for attacks in more than 20 countries.
