I too agree the interview was very good. I can see Moore's point
though. There some that believe that Bush's reason to go into Iraq wasn't
really about the WMD but something else. WMD was just a convenient excuse
and the validity of the intelligence reports weren't checked because it
wasn't the true reason for going in the first place.
I for one, don't think there is enough evidence to support that
statement. I have heard it enough to believe that it's shared by more then
a few people. A common belief is that we went in for oil - just as an
example.

You are correct that it is a view that is shared by many. Even former
President Carter indicated in his speech that there was an Iraq agenda, even
before Bush was elected.
As far as the Moore interview, it is pretty clear that Moore holds the
president responsible for whatever decisions he makes, irregardless of the
inaccuracies of his staff. O'rielly, instead seems to feel that the President
should not be held responsible, and not even have to admit the information he
used was either in error, blatantly false, or contrived.
