I also noticed that BOR totally talked over Moore when Moore brought up the point that Bush wasn't given bad information, he INSISTED on bad information, and didn't accept any intelligence that didn't point to Saddam being linked to AQ. imho the dems need to drive this point home a little more forcefully. Bush wasn't what he is currently claiming to be, an innocent being fed bad information. He knew what information he wanted, he made it very clear to the intelligence community and he didn't stop until he got it.
Cheney is STILL going around saying Saddam was tied in with AQ. Why? Because he knows that the conservative base, people like Theking, are so stupid that if he keeps saying it they'll keep believing it, regardless of how much evidence there is to the contrary.

Like "BOR" said, did Bush also goto Putin and tell him he only wants to hear bad information after the fact? British Intelligence as well? "BOR Didn't give his kid up to go fight, that was a victory!"
Moore made a total fool of himself, and BOR did let him off. I will be searching for a transcript if needed:
BOR: All of the intelligence agencies were reporting to him there were WMD. Tenet looked Bush in the eye and said "WMD is a slum dunk." This was the information Bush was given, and you are calling what he did lying?
Moore: Yes, it was a lie. If I said nothing was happening on the floor (of the DNC) right now, would it be a lie?
BOR: Yes, we can see things are going on...
Moore: No, I can't... but when I turn and look....
Finally in the second half BOR caught on to this and could have nailed him, but got side tracked. Equated to World War II this would be saying the president was presented with information that Hitler was committing genocide on every jew within his nation, and had plans to invade bordering nations to help further this cause, and simply wait until he saw a dead body to act.
In which case, maybe we would have been better off waiting until Saddam used one of the WMD to try and stop him.
We learned nothing from Sept. 11?
