It is a rotten shame, but it is true, mostly.

I don't agree with all of Moore's conclusions in the movie, but he raises some pointed and valid questions that needed to be raised.
The general thrust of the movie is that Bush is a lying scoundrel who manipulated intelligence to get us into a war that benefitted his political cronies and protected his family's connections in Saudi Arabia. Time has shown that to be true.
We claimed first to go over there for "weapons of mass destruction." There were none. Then it was "regime change." Done. And we're still there.
It's kind of like the Kenneth Starr investigation. "Uh, we're investigating a land deal. Now it's a travel office thing. Now it's sex."
What we've seen out of the Republican party over the last 14 years is an increasing willingness to sell out their principles and engage in mass acts of hypocrisy in order to further the repugnant political agenda of the neoconservative movement, and George Bush was the guy to do it. They've totally changed the debate in this country to the point where calling someone a "liberal" is worse than calling them a rapist, and through neoconservative mouthpieces like Fox "News" have used Orwellian tactics to try to convince the American people that "if you don't agree with us, you must be with the terrorists."
Which is where all this "Why do liberals hate America?" stuff came from.
But getting back on track here - I think there was a lot of truth in F911. There was a lot of editoralizing as well.
The truth is somewhere in the middle... The neoconservative nutjobs and the extreme liberals don't want people to believe that, though...
(The reason the Republicans are catching the majority of my venom here is because they're the ones who have been in power. This is their mess. Don't worry, I don't trust the Democrats' ability to make things right either.)
I don't think we intentionally attacked civilians in Iraq. I think our flawed intelligence led us to some unfortunate ends. And unless there's some real change, we're going to have to continue to get indoctrinated... by both the left wing and right.

Yes it is true. Just like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the tooth fairy. Facts? Boy you use that term loosely don't you.

Now that you have seen all of the negative liberal tripe take a look at the other side ot the story that most libs don't want you to see. They only want to show you the bad and not the good that is being done. That is all part of the Bush bashing that is going on. Why report on something that may get Bush a little credit. Just hide it from the American people so they only see the negative so they have negative views of Bush. Check it out.

particular, it somewhat is a real documentary! no person has debunked the science interior the action picture. in actuality, Al Gore attempted to debunk the science in his action picture. He had his team pour in the process the peer-reviewed science journals to gauge what proportion scholarly articles supported the warming thesis and how many rejected the warming thesis. Of six hundred+ peer-reviewed medical articles they surveyed, 0 rejected the warming thesis! He then had his team evaluation the media memories on worldwide warming. fifty two% of media memories rejected the warming thesis!? you will ought to be sure the action picture to appreciate why the media is so disconnected from certainty ( a sprint is cigarettes). in straightforward terms those with their heads interior the sand, or their heads in oil wells, think of there remains debate in this situation! people who're telling you worldwide warming does not exist have an time table and are mendacity interior the face of the medical evidence to confuse voters and stop political flow on the subject. ...right here, see the evidence for your self:

Yes I saw it. I watched Loose change too. Filmmakers have the luxury of editing and "direction". So, to say that his movie is factual is liberal at best. I believe in the problems that existed especially the CIA?FBI mess. What I do not believe in is that if this were exactly fact than legal means would have been pursed to bring many to justice. SO far that has not happenned.
Michael Moore has made a name for himself by extorting facts for his literary privilege. That means he makes movies, not documentaries. His awards came from his brilliance in that direction. The Academy neglected to include if they believe in any facts or just his talent. There is a great difference.
My opinions, thank you.
I believe he edits his own films. That is an accomplishment in its self. I believe in Santa Claus but know for a fact he doesn't exist. Only if I want him to.
**Also note: he went to Cuba to make a statement about healthcare yet forgot protocol and paperwork legally required. Tells me he is not exactly on the up and up from the get go.

Not a shred of truth in it. A nice rebuttal can be found in "Fahrenhype 9/11."

I liked it at first, but thought that the following movie was better: http://www.infowars.com/martial_law_911.htm
I've done TONS of research on 9/11, and on many other things that are going on in the world today. Check out the movie at the link I gave, above. You can watch this movie for free at google videos. Just search for "martial law 911." I'm blocked by websense (cause I'm at work), or I'd give you the link to google...... Or, if you want, I could send you a copy of my dvd's......

It amazes me that when you point out claims that should be looked into all the repubes can do is insult, especially when their hero Bush is at stake. If 9/11 was slander, why didn't Bush sue Moore? I suspect it was because there were a lot of truths that he didn't want to come to light.
The claims made in the Farenheit 9/11 documentary needs to be investigated. Of course, Bush will never investigate himself, so as long as the FBI and CIA work under Bush, it will never be looked into.

There is some truth to it but it was a propaganda film aimed at swaying people politically at the time it was released. The problem with films like that is that they can weaken the credibility of the side they are trying to help.
