    negative ads work.

    dumb ass americans don't have to think logically about anything, just listen to negative ads, and let that make their decision.

      F9/11 was nothing but a long negative ad. That movie alone has swung more people that I know then anything else..

        I saw it a few days ago, but I'm highly sceptic about the man. It all sounds pretty logical and stuff, but he's actually just making it sound logically. I think Moore is an artist in turning facts into a story which actually represents his opinion and could easily convince anyone that is not critical enough.

          Yao I agree with you 100%, and Civic Zen you too, 9/11 is just a raw dose of rank propaganda. Anyone who believes anything Michael Moore says is naive and really in need of a mentor. He is the master of copy and paste propaganda, and never tells the whole story. Lets not confuse a man eager to sell movies with legitimate political motives. Did you see him with Bill O'Reilly, he embarrassed himself, it was pitiful. This is the reason why most liberals(or anti-administration as I like to put it because they never really know why they are liberal) say the things they say. Its wreckless. People like Moore over run the public with doctrine and propaganda, it undermines a real agenda.

I would've been able to show how EVERY SINGLE ONE of the Bush WMD claims were completely discredited before the war had even started. Maybe that's why the US couldn't get UN approval for the invasion. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose...

                ?We do not have any direct evidence that Iraq has used the period since (Operation) Desert Fox to reconstitute its WMD programs, although given its past behavior, this type of activity must be regarded as likely,?

                But in terms of Saddam Hussein being there, let's remember that his country is divided, in effect. He does not control the northern part of his country. We are able to keep arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt.

                Strange how you're more confident Iraq had WMDs than even they were!!!
