"Fahrenheit 9/11" director mulls movie about Blair

In an interview published Saturday, Moore, director of "Fahrenheit 9/11," the controversial documentary which last month won prestigious Palme d'Or award at the Cannes film festival, said he "personally hold Blair more responsible for this war in Iraq than I do George W. Bush, and the reason is Blair knows better."

"Fahrenheit 9/11," which will hit US theaters on June 25, links the family of President Bush and the powerful Saudi Arabian family of Osama bin Laden, the No. 1 terrorist being sought by the US government. The film also contends that Bush pushed the US into the unnecessary Iraq war through a mix of fear and misinformation.

Moore likened Blair, the staunchest supporter of the US-led invasion of Iraq last year, to an older sibling of Bush's. He said that, when two children get in trouble, the parent usually questions the older one as to how he or she could let such a problem occur.

Anticipating increasing attacks from Bush campaign and supporters, Moore said he has formed a group to counter any future attack on his movie. The group will operate 24 hours a day, monitoring TV newscasts, news reports and other publications for statements discrediting his movie.

Moore said he has hired two political advisers to former Democrat President Bill Clinton's campaign to establish a "war room" that will immediately support any claims made in the movie that come under attack.

Moore, an independent voter, said he does not support Bush, and wants his reelection attempt to fail.
