So? ... A Note from Michael Moore
Monday, March 24th, 2008
Friends,
It would have to happen on Easter Sunday, wouldn't it, that the 4,000th American soldier would die in Iraq. Play me that crazy preacher again, will you, about how maybe God, in all his infinite wisdom, may not exactly be blessing America these days. Is anyone surprised?
4,000 dead. Unofficial estimates are that there may be up to 100,000 wounded, injured, or mentally ruined by this war. And there could be up to a million Iraqi dead. We will pay the consequences of this for a long, long time. God will keep blessing America.
And where is Darth Vader in all this? A reporter from ABC News this week told Dick Cheney, in regards to Iraq, "two-thirds of Americans say it's not worth fighting." Cheney cut her off with a one word answer: "So?"
"So?" As in, "So what?" As in, "F*** you. I could care less."
I would like every American to see Cheney flip the virtual bird at the them, the American people. Click here and pass it around. Then ask yourself why we haven't risen up and thrown him and his puppet out of the White House.
The Democrats have had the power to literally pull the plug on this war for the past 15 months -- and they have refused to do so. What are we to do about that? Continue to sink into our despair? Or get creative? Real creative. I know there are many of you reading this who have the chutzpah and ingenuity to confront your local congressperson. Will you? For me?
Cheney spent Wednesday, the 5th anniversary of the war, not mourning the dead he killed, but fishing off the Sultan of Oman's royal yacht. So? Ask your favorite Republican what they think of that.
The Founding Fathers would never have uttered the presumptuous words, "God Bless America." That, to them, sounded like a command instead of a request, and one doesn't command God, even if they are America. In fact, they were worried God would punish America. During the Revolutionary War, George Washington feared that God would react unfavorably against his soldiers for the way they were behaving. John Adams wondered if God might punish America and cause it to lose the war, just to prove His point that America was not worthy. They and the others believed it would be arrogant on their part to assume that God would single out America for a blessing. What a long road we have traveled since then.
I see that Frontline on PBS this week has a documentary called "Bush's War." That's what I've been calling it for a long time. It's not the "Iraq War." Iraq did nothing. Iraq didn't plan 9/11. It didn't have weapons of mass destruction. It DID have movie theaters and bars and women wearing what they wanted and a significant Christian population and one of the few Arab capitals with an open synagogue.
But that's all gone now. Show a movie and you'll be shot in the head. Over a hundred women have been randomly executed for not wearing a scarf. I'm happy, as a blessed American, that I had a hand in all this. I just paid my taxes, so that means I helped to pay for this freedom we've brought to Baghdad. So? Will God bless me?
God bless all of you in this Easter Week as we begin the 6th year of Bush's War.
God help America. Please.
Michael Moore

| Why should anything Mike says have any more impact than a statement by any other citizen? So-called celebrities are no more important than any other person. |

For those who think that Bush shouldnt have statrted this war, think about this.
FDR ( Democrat) Led us in to WW 2. Japan attacked us, Germany never did. From 1941 - 1945, 450,00 american GI's were killed. Average of 112,500 per year.
Truman ( Democrat) Finished that war and started another in Korea. North Korea never attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 american GI,s were killed. Thats an average of 18,322 per year.
In 1962, John F. Kennedy (Democrat), led us into the Vietnam conflict. Vietnam never attacked us.
Johnson ( Democrat), turned veitnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost. Average of 5,800 per year. |

Eisenhower had sent a few advisers into Vietnam in the late 50's. I went there in late 62, at the time one of 5,000 Americans there. We could have won - Tet pretty much destroyed the VC & NVA, but the media carried on that is was an American "disaster". That gave the North the will to keep fighting, and in the end they won. Politicians, and the media, all without a clue, lost the war.
Desert Storm was done right. The Military was allowed to plan & execute the operation. UNTIL, the politicians stepped in & told them to stop. If the media & liberals have their way, the present conflict will end like Vietnam did - a betrayal of all those that died there. |

Good point Dave. Again ,thank you for your service.
The media hasn't reported much about Iraq lately up until the 5th anniversary, and the 4,000 troop who made the ultimate sacrifice over there, almost as if they were waiting for it. |

American Servicemen and women wonder what the thought is behind people like Micheal moore making such a big deal about such small numbers.
ANybody out there realise we are fighting a war?
These are dead or missing in action.
6,800 in Iwo Jima.
12,513 in Okinawa
30,000 in Guadalcanal
I could and should go on...
But 4000 in 4 years???
Those battles were 1 to five days. |

Why do people completely miss the point or refuse to even look at it.
4000 troops in 5 years in a War on terrorism and a trynical dictatorship. Why don't we see the positive. When in WWII we lost double, triple, quaddruple the amount of troops in just ones of many battles!
Instead of looking at it and saying we've been able to minimise losses due to superior weapons and tactics. People act like no body knows what their doing. If That were truly the case. We would have lost tens of thousands. Not just thousands. |

Oh and Adam, Your posting of that picture shows your complete lack of respect for the Military serviceman and women that have given their lives for our freedom and that of the Iraqi people. I'm more concerned with the how it affects us here in America.
No wonder you can't understand what leadership is. |
