#1 "We have made all requested materials available to them, but unfortunately, a commitment to show the film has not been made," a Lions Gate spokeswoman said.

This is a bunch of crap. AFFES has already aired messages on AFN (Armed Forces Network) here in Europe that because of it's popularity (in France, Hamas Home Theaters, San Fransico, etc.) that it has not been able to get a copies of it from the distributor.
It also restated that it doesn't censor the movies it orders. It orders the most popular stateside movies that it can get. Which it does.
My guess is that they (Fat Boy(TM) and his distributors)just want to beat a dead horse a few more times to try and get the impression out that Bush and the DOD conspire to prevent Michael Moore's crap from being aired and to pocket a few bucks. Don't be surprised when it flops in the theathers though.

#2 Well, if he can't get his film shown, maybe Moore should just show up at Camp LeJeune or Twenty-Nine Palms and explain his message to the Marines and their families. Then he can move on to Fort Bragg, if he's able.

#3 Matt, I would PAY to see Moore show up at a Marine or Army base! That would be entertaining!

#4 Moore wouldn't last more then 20 seconds here at Camp Lejeune before somebody stomped his ass.

#5 "And here's Michael Moore arriving at Ft Bragg...wait...the crowd is rushing forward. It's hard to see what's happening...it appears they're burning an effigy of Michael Moore."

"Erm, I don't think that's an effigy. They don't thrash around and scream while they're on fire."
