#1 I'd just love to see this bloated bag of intestinal gas run up against the "Official Secrets Act"

#2 well, if he's off to Brition, he must be running out of gas in America. Now the Brits can come to realize what a pig they've been laughing with.

#3 Moore sets his sights on Tony Blair

Maybe he thinks Blair is made out of chocolate.

#4 I personally hold Blair more responsible for this war in Iraq than I do George W. Bush, and the reason is Blair knows better. Blair is not an idiot. What is he doing hanging around this guy?," Moore told Reuters in an interview

Moore is going to find out Blair is no pussy.

Blair went up against and defeated people in his own party to help liberate Iraq and did so with opposition so fierce from his ideological allies, it is literally a wonder he didn't cave.

Blair has cajones that Moore can only dream he himself has, and enough political and moral capital with me to buy out Disney.

If Blair is half the man I think he is and he has demonstrated he is, Moore will leave major chuncks of his ass in England as he goes home whelping to mommy.

#5 I guess Mikey hasn't heard of the draconian libel laws that the UK possess. He had better have more than a war room and Chris Lehane to do his fact checking. He better hire a QC and I don't think Cherie is available.

#6 first commercials for this piece of trash have already started airing in San Diego. One of the highlights of the commercial is the Bin Laden family flown to safety by Bush claim, which was debunked under oath recently when former White House counterterrorism chief Richard A. Clarke admitted he made that decision, nobody else.

If the Bin Laden flights are his centerpiece his movie is gonna go down quick.

#7 Haven't seen these in SD, Yank, but then I usually watch Fox and sports

#8 "To counteract efforts challenging "Fahrenheit 9/11," he has hired Chris Lehane and Mark Fabiani, two former political advisers to Bill Clinton and Al Gore..."

Moore, Lehane, Fabiani... now there's a confederacy of scumbags if ever there was one.

Michael Moore isn't anti-war: he's working for the enemy.

#9 As Kaus never tires of pointing out, hiring Lehane is usually fatal to his employers...

#11 Easy to see Moore's script.First Blair "betrayed" England by going to war in Iraq under false pretences,then he tried to suppress the press,and now he's angering Euro Allies by not embracing EU fully.If project ever gets off ground expect lots of BBC employee stealth help,w,Galloway as hero.However,I have to believe this is PR move to sell 451 in Europe.There would be no US financing for such a project-what US studio thinks there would be US audience for film about British PM?British studios would shy away both for libel fears,and fear of retaliation-audits,property revalued,etc.

#12 That'll take balls to pull off, the idea that Blair "faked" out the country after the fact. Look how lopsidedly Lord Hutton aligned with Blair and the government over the BBC!

#13 Edward,you forget BBC and left British press believe Hutton covered-up for Blair.(BBC manager insisted after firing he did nothing wrong).The hard-core left refuses to let facts get in the way of the TRUTH.Bush/Blair lied!There were no WMDS,no terrorist connections,no threat,no ties to 9/11,etc.Facts to the contrary are ignored,said to be irrelevant,evidence of Bush/Blair conspiracy,or simply not believed.
