I wouldn't term it "satire." Did you really think a secure military installation would let a guy bobbing up and down on a boat outside with a megaphone stuck to his face inside? I can assure you that he would have had several rifles aimed at him during that time, and that the officers inside would not have considered even for even a second whether or not to listen to him.
Moore knew this too. It was theatrics, plain and simple. Apparently, you've bought it hook, line and sinker.
