Michael Moore's open letter for Bush!

Dear Mr. President: Send Even MORE Troops (and you go, too!) ...from Michael Moore


Dear Mr. President,

Thanks for your address to the nation. It's good to know you still want to talk to us after how we behaved in November.

Listen, can I be frank? Sending in 20,000 more troops just ain't gonna do the job. That will only bring the troop level back up to what it was last year. And we were losing the war last year! We've already had over a million troops serve some time in Iraq since 2003. Another few thousand is simply not enough to find those weapons of mass destruction! Er, I mean... bringing those responsible for 9/11 to justice! Um, scratch that. Try this -- BRING DEMOCRACY TO THE MIDDLE EAST! YES!!!

You've got to show some courage, dude! You've got to win this one! C'mon, you got Saddam! You hung 'im high! I loved watching the video of that -- just like the old wild west! The bad guy wore black! The hangmen were as crazy as the hangee! Lynch mobs rule!!!

Look, I have to admit I feel very sorry for the predicament you're in. As Ricky Bobby said, "If you're not first, you're last." And you being humiliated in front of the whole world does NONE of us Americans any good.

Sir, listen to me. You have to send in MILLIONS of troops to Iraq, not thousands! The only way to lick this thing now is to flood Iraq with millions of us! I know that you're out of combat-ready soldiers -- so you have to look elsewhere! The only way you are going to beat a nation of 27 million -- Iraq -- is to send in at least 28 million! Here's how it would work:

The first 27 million Americans go in and kill one Iraqi each. That will quickly take care of any insurgency. The other one million of us will stay and rebuild the country. Simple.

Now, I know you're saying, where will I find 28 million Americans to go to Iraq? Here are some suggestions:

1. More than 62,000,000 Americans voted for you in the last election (the one that took place a year and half into a war we already knew we were losing). I am confident that at least a third of them would want to put their body where their vote was and sign up to volunteer. I know many of these people and, while we may disagree politically, I know that they don't believe someone else should have to go and fight their fight for them -- while they hide here in America.

2. Start a "Kill an Iraqi" Meet-Up group in cities across the country. I know this idea is so early-21st century, but I once went to a Lou Dobbs Meet-Up and, I swear, some of the best ideas happen after the third mojito. I'm sure you'll get another five million or so enlistees from this effort.

3. Send over all members of the mainstream media. After all, they were your collaborators in bringing us this war -- and many of them are already trained from having been "embedded!" If that doesn't bring the total to 28 million, then draft all viewers of the FOX News channel.

Mr. Bush, do not give up! Now is not the time to pull your punch! Don't be a weenie by sending in a few over-tired troops. Get your people behind you and YOU lead them in like a true commander in chief! Leave no conservative behind! Full speed ahead!

We promise to write. Go get 'em W!

Yours,

Michael Moore

Iraq is burning ! Amerika, Quo Vadis ??????

Last informations from the Iraq Foundation
 

Open letter to the people of Amerika


The history seems not to be a good teacher in Amerika,  what yet is happen in Iraq  is a mirror of, mentality and arrogance from the Bush administration. Didn't we have that before in Vietnam? Amerika the only hope? Cost was it cost. To bomb a country  will not mean you are winning a war, you have to do with people which are living in there, they could maybe not agree!

We are bringing democracy to your country ( slogan ) How can you bring democracy in a country wich has allready a very old system for democracy. Amerika said our way is the best. Maybe allright for Amerika but also right for another countries?

Bush administration mantains, Islam = Terrorisme, that's a black and white thinking.

The Bush adminstration  promise peace and forgot to organize a well done after scenery. Result?

Iraq is burning yet.

 

Wake up Amerika

 Comments. Reports and reader's letters
Hi there! Thanks for stopping in. I'm Christopher Allbritton, former AP and New York Daily News reporter. Last summer I went stumbling around Iraqi Kurdistan, the northern part of Iraq outside Saddam's direct control, looking for stories. (Some might call it "looking for trouble.") Well, I've made it back. With the support of thousands of readers, I've raised more than $10,000 for this trip. You can read my continuing dispatches here. But that doesn't mean that donations for supporting independent journalism aren't still appreciated! I have ways of receiving money while I'm here in Iraqi Kurdistan, so if you donate, you're still helping! When you donate, you get subscribed to a "premium" mailing list (which will never be shared with anyone) and you will receive the reports early as well as extra reports and pictures that don't make it to the web site. (Please click here for more, slightly out of date, details.) Click on of the button below to donate. You can see the progress I've made in rasing funds further down under "Coalition of the Willing." Thanks, everyone!
