Director Moore Tears Into Bush at Cannes Festival

American film-maker Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," a savage indictment of President Bush's handling of Iraq and the war on terror, was cheered and applauded at the Cannes film festival on Monday.

Film critics were warm in praise of the controversial director who later called in a news conference for America to pull out of Iraq.

"It is a such total mess. Their way of doing things has offended so many people," Moore said.
