Can we teraform the moon?

Assuming money was no object. With our current scientific knowledge, could we teraform to the point of a sustainable atmosphere, as well as water bodies and plants?

No, with no molten core to generate a magnetic field, very little water, and very little gravity, it is beyond the current scientific capabilities of Earth to terraform the moon. Things that would have to be done to terraform it:  
-Generate an electromagnetic field to prevent solar radiation from stripping away the atmosphere.  
-Create an atmosphere heavy in CO2 to heat up the moon.  
-Melt enough water and consolidate it in one place as to create an environment for plants to grow.  
-Find plants that can grow in the high silicate, high calcium soil of the moon.  
There are million other things that would have to be done on top of this, including finding away to stop the atmosphere from simply floating off the moon (it has 1/20 the gravity of Earth). Interestingly, the soil on the moon, although appearing quite different from the soil of Earth, has a very similar composition. It is slightly higher in silicon and calcium, but definitely similar enough that with the right conditions, a plant could derive nutrients from it.
