The perception about WMDs is affected by more than just Moore; he is but one voice in the Greek Chorus of liberal media spin.

The liberal media has consistently distorted two key points:

- The use of the word "imminent". Bush said we needed to act before the threat posed by Saddam became imminent. The press has created a fictionalized version in which they claim Bush said the threat was imminent. (For Bush's exact wording, I refer you to the 2003 State of the Union Address.)

- The liberal media has also promoted two versions of why we went to war: WMDs (and their imminent threat) and It Was All About Oil. They conveniently jump back and forth between the two when evidence is presented which contradicts one of these myths.
