mutta on saanut heräteltyä mistään tietämätöntä amerikan kansaa tiettävästi aika hyvin, yksinkertaistetulla tyylillään, eli siis rautalangasta vääntämällä.
ihme kun on vielä hengissä. Noh, kuolleen testamentti vois tulla nopeammin julkiseksi.
Proposed Unocal Pipeline in Afghanistan
Deceits 27-30
This segment is introduced with the question, "Or was the war in Afghanistan really about something else?" The "something else" is shown to be a Unocal pipeline.
Moore mentions that the Taliban visited Texas while Bush was governor, over a possible pipeline deal with Unocal. But Moore doesn’t say that they never actually met with Bush or that the deal went bust in 1998 and had been supported by the Clinton administration.
Labash, Weekly Standard.
Moore asserts that the Afghan war was fought only to enable the Unocal company to build a pipeline. In fact, Unocal dropped that idea back in August 1998.
Jonathan Foreman, "Moore’s The Pity," New York Post, June 23, 2004.
In December 1997, a delegation from Afghanistan’s ruling and ruthless Taliban visited the United States to meet with an oil and gas company that had extensive dealings in Texas. The company, Unocal, was interested in building a natural gas line through Afghanistan. Moore implies that Bush, who was then governor of Texas, met with the delegation.
But, as Gannett News Service points out, Bush did not meet with the Taliban representatives. What’s more, Clinton administration officials did sit down with Taliban officials, and the delegation’s visit was made with the Clinton administration’s permission.
McNamee, Chicago Sun-Times.
Whatever the motive, the Unocal pipeline project was entirely a Clinton-era proposal: By 1998, as the Taliban hardened its positions, the U.S. oil company pulled out of the deal. By the time George W. Bush took office, it was a dead issue—and no longer the subject of any lobbying in Washington.
Isikoff & Hosenball, MSNBC.com.
Moore claims that "Enron stood to benefit from the pipeline." To the contrary, Enron was not part of the consortium which expressed interest in working with Unocal on the pipeline.
On December 9, 2003, the new Afghanistan government did sign a protocol with Turkmenistan and Pakistan to facilitate a pipeline. Indeed, any Afghani government (Taliban or otherwise) would rationally seek the revenue that could be gained from a pipeline. But the protocol merely aims to entice corporations to build a new pipeline; no corporation has has agreed to do so. Nor does the new proposed pipeline even resemble Unocal's failed proposal; the new pipeline would the bring oil and gas from the Caspian Sea basin, whereas Unocal's proposal involved deposits five hundred miles away, in eastern Turkmenistan.
Erittäin taitava tyyppi tuo Moore, ei suoraan valehtele varsinaisesti missään kohdassa, mutta antaa ymmärtää.. leikkelee sopivia videonpätkiä yhteen ja luo mielikuvia. Erinomainen propagandisti.
Moore menettänyt uskottavuutensa ajat sitten. Äijä on pösilö.
Kyllä tuo ohjelma on katsottava. Myös heidän,jotka pitävät sitä propagandana. On myös pidettävä mielessä,että se on kokonaisuudesta eräs näkökulma. Jos tuo,(voiko sanoa dokumentiksi)ohjelma sisältää jotakin kohtia,jotka ovat ristiriidassa totuuden kanssa,siitä on voitava keskustella kiihkottomasti vaikkapa tällä palstalla.
Ilmeisesti ei ole pystytty todistamaan virheitä Mooren leffassa. Minusta olisi "dokumentti" toiminut paremmin jos loppupään Irak jaksoa olisi lyhennetty reippaasti.
