It's a good thing for Bush-bashing conspiracy filmmaker Michael Moore that the folks who run the Cannes Film Festival weren't paying much attention to the 9/11 Commission hearings earlier this year.
Otherwise they might have figured out that the central premise of Moore's film "Fahrenheit 911" - that President Bush let Osama bin Laden's relatives escape the U.S. and fly off to Saudi Arabia after the 9/11 attacks - has already been debunked.
What's more, the debunker in question, former White House terrorism czar Richard Clarke, has impeccable Bush-bashing credentials, authoring an entire book claiming that the Bush White House didn't do enough to prevent the 9/11 attacks.
But there's one allegation Clarke doesn't include in his anti-Bush bill of particulars - Moore's charge that he let the bin Ladens get away. Why not? Because Clarke himself has already admitted to making that decision himself.
"I was making - or coordinating a lot of decisions on 9/11 in the days immediately after," he told the 9/11 Commission in late March, saying that the proposal to authorize the bin Laden fly-out was brought directly to him.
Clarke's testimony turned vague about what happened after that, but his comments to Vanity Fair magazine last August made it crystal clear who approved the bin Ladens' escape.
"My role was to say it can't happen until the FBI approves it," he told writer Craig Unger. "And so the FBI was asked - we had a live connection to the FBI - and we asked the FBI to make sure that they were satisfied that everybody getting on that plane was someone that it was O.K. to leave."
Then Clarke confessed: "And [the FBI] came back and said, yes it was fine with them. So we said fine, let it happen."
Maybe it's not too late for the judges at Cannes to rescind Mr. Moore's "Golden Palm" award for trying to palm off his movie fantasy as a documentary.
Michael Moore?
Who's he?
Never let it be said that the toad was limited in his "artistic endeavor" by something as mundane as facts. "Golden Palm", huh. I have an idea where he/they can put that.
Talk about your hypocrite!
A big fat Bush/America/Christian hating, self loathing turd who has made a living off lying.
We already know Moore's political ad isn't a documentary or even tries to be factual. The Hollyweird left isn't concerned with facts. They'reconcerned with having one of "their own" in the WH. That is ALL this "movie" project is about. If this wasn't an election year even the MSP would ignore Lumpy and his slanted bilge.
If Moore or his fans cared about the truth he would never have had a career in the first place.
If Moore ate Less, there'd be Less Moore! No?
If Moore ate Less, there'd be Less Moore! No? More or less?
Who's he?"
"A big fat Bush/America/Christian hating,..."
I can see I should have put the mandatory </sarcasm> notation on my post!
LOL!
Naaa, I just could resist the chance to tell the world who he is.
