Amen Michael!

Bush took America to war under a false premise, using lies, deception, and distortions. He decided to go to war and then interprets intelligence to fit that conclusion? The resistors are fighting back the same way we would if invaded, and occupied by foreigners.

There is no truce in Falluhjah a lie created by the Pentagon. The deliberate outing of the 4 CIA agents in an ambush (by the CIA who had their itinerary), creating a situation so repugnant to the American people, that they would react, and they did. This would justify an effort to ratchet up the attacks on the Iraqi people. Now they have Nukes! They will spare no time to relieve Iraq of their population. News is only getting out by Independent reporters since Viceroy Bremer (Bush's Harken Oil buddy) has stopped all media reports.

Blackwater USA hires mercenaries which has a security contract for the oil installations, and acts along side US forces in high security areas. They recruit from the CIA and military. They often work as unregulated storm troopers. Their extraordinary mutilated remains owes much to their heavy handed tactics while working outside the constraints of the Geneva Convention. Murder, torture, kidnapping and brutal raids on homes, have been attributed to these irregular forces who have become despised and hated by the Iraqis. However, our regular forces are not seen so unfavorably, but for how long? They are now bombing hospitals, schools, and Mosques.

In Falluja they were chanting "We got the CIA people!" They know what's going on, even if Americans don't. Unfortunately, our troops are boxed in until after the elections, and many could die.

Unbeknownst to the majority of Americans, Bush must cover $billions of outstanding derivatives in oil for himself and his oil buddies, and it doesn't matter how many on both sides must die. "It's all about Bush Oil stupid!" This was also an opportunity to enhance their bottom line of his multinational crony friends, and a hundred on a list of whom he wishes to protect from Gulf 1. "Bush has got more shi* than Batche' " as we said back home (an out house Cleaning Co during early 1900's in Cincinnati).

In 2000 years of history no one has ever crossed the Euphrates River with out having lived to regret it. And now the weasels who got us into this mess want to blame everyone else for their own ignorance and stupidity. This parallels with Somalia, and I believe they will drive our US military out, as they did there, but they are surround by a million of angry Arabs 6:1, and may not get out alive. The first order of business should be to get them out now!

Oh good, now we have tapes from our CIA asset OBL to escalate the fear card -- how convenient and an excuse to drop Wall St, instead of Bush accepting responsibility for his own fiscal mismanagement, and GreenSpam's bad mouthing the dollar. The Bushii are going to fall under the weight of their own corruption. People are already seeing through the 9-11 Commission Dog and Pony Show - he's losing ground. The next two weeks will be tenuous for the US, and we may expect another STATE SPONSORED event by Al-CIA-QAEDA. It's still a poker game folks -- Hit me and up the ante!

This is the biggest political and military blunder in 226 years of American History. Where is the outrage?

News from the Front: U.S. Snipers Ignored Ceasefire

WASHINGTON (NFTF.org) -- Accounts from Fallujah residents who either witnessed or were shot during three failed ceasefires seem uniform; U.S. forces fired indiscriminately at any person who dared venture outdoors.

"They say there is a ceasefire and they said 12:00. People went out to do some shopping, and everybody who went out was shot, and this place was full and half of them were dead. I don't know why. Please, you do your best to ask them why," clinic director Mekki Al Azar pleaded to filmmaker Julia Guest, who herself had slipped into Fallujah with a group bringing medical supplies to the near decimated town.

Heads Up... from Michael Moore

Heads Up

April 14, 2004

Friends,

I have never seen a head so far up a Presidential ass (pardon my Falluja) than the one I saw last night at the "news conference" given by George W. Bush. He's still talking about finding "weapons of mass destruction" -- this time on Saddam's "turkey farm." Turkey indeed. Clearly the White House believes there are enough idiots in the 17 swing states who will buy this. I think they are in for a rude awakening.

I've been holed up for weeks in the editing room finishing my film ("Fahrenheit 911"). That's why you haven't heard from me lately. But after last night's Lyndon Johnson impersonation from the East Room -- essentially promising to send even more troops into the Iraq sinkhole -- I had to write you all a note.

First, can we stop the Orwellian language and start using the proper names for things? Those are not “contractors” in Iraq. They are not there to fix a roof or to pour concrete in a driveway. They are MERCENARIES and SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE. They are there for the money, and the money is very good if you live long enough to spend it.

Halliburton is not a "company" doing business in Iraq. It is a WAR PROFITEER, bilking millions from the pockets of average Americans. In past wars they would have been arrested -- or worse.

The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not "insurgents" or "terrorists" or "The Enemy." They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. Get it, Mr. Bush? You closed down a friggin' weekly newspaper, you great giver of freedom and democracy! Then all hell broke loose. The paper only had 10,000 readers! Why are you smirking?

One year after we wiped the face of the Saddam statue with our American flag before yanking him down, it is now too dangerous for a single media person to go to that square in Baghdad and file a report on the wonderful one-year anniversary celebration. Of course, there is no celebration, and those brave blow-dried "embeds" can't even leave the safety of the fort in downtown Baghdad. They never actually SEE what is taking place across Iraq (most of the pictures we see on TV are shot by Arab media and some Europeans). When you watch a report "from Iraq" what you are getting is the press release handed out by the U.S. occupation force and repeated to you as "news."

I currently have two cameramen/reporters doing work for me in Iraq for my movie (unbeknownst to the Army). They are talking to soldiers and gathering the true sentiment about what is really going on. They Fed Ex the footage back to me each week. That's right, Fed Ex. Who said we haven't brought freedom to Iraq! The funniest story my guys tell me is how when they fly into Baghdad, they don't have to show a passport or go through immigration. Why not? Because they have not traveled from a foreign country -- they're coming from America TO America, a place that is ours, a new American territory called Iraq.

There is a lot of talk amongst Bush's opponents that we should turn this war over to the United Nations. Why should the other countries of this world, countries who tried to talk us out of this folly, now have to clean up our mess? I oppose the U.N. or anyone else risking the lives of their citizens to extract us from our debacle. I'm sorry, but the majority of Americans supported this war once it began and, sadly, that majority must now sacrifice their children until enough blood has been let that maybe -- just maybe -- God and the Iraqi people will forgive us in the end.

Until then, enjoy the "pacification" of Falluja, the "containment" of Sadr City, and the next Tet Offensive – oops, I mean, "terrorist attack by a small group of Baathist loyalists" (Hahaha! I love writing those words, Baathist loyalists, it makes me sound so Peter Jennings!) -- followed by a "news conference" where we will be told that we must "stay the course" because we are "winning the hearts and minds of the people."

I'll write again soon. Don't despair. Remember, the American people are not that stupid. Sure, we can be frightened into a war, but we always come around sooner or later -- and the one way this is NOT like Vietnam is that it hasn't taken the public four long years to figure out they were lied to.

Now if Bush would just quit speaking in public and giving me more free material for my movie, I can get back to work and get it done. I've got four weeks left 'til completion.

Yours,

Michael Moore
