Looks like I hit the send button a bit too rapidly.   
Two other quick points--one a positive and one a negative.

The positive is that Moore did a brilliant thing in leaving the screen dark at the Sept 11 part of the film and did not show again the planes hitting the WTC. Would have detracted from his criticism of Bush that follows.

That said I do fault his ommissions in his critique of Bush. Namely, the misleading title of the Coalition ---he names all the small nations (COsta Rica, etc;) but omits UK and Tony Blair. Strange. He also omits the other things to fault Bush with---Iraq is one thing but there are so many domestic things not touched on---employment, economy, abortion rights, religion,---the list goes on.
