Killing Kids
Check out Michael Moore’s latest USA Today crapfest from the RNC.
This week, in an appearance leading up to his arrival here Wednesday night, Bush acknowledged he had miscalculated what would happen in Iraq after he invaded it. He had thought it was going to be much easier. It turned out to be much, much worse.
That must be some comfort to the parents of nearly 1,000 brave soldiers now dead because of his “miscalculation.” If I made a miscalculation and ran over a child on the street, what do you think would happen to me? Do you think the cops would simply say, “Hey, Mr. Moore, you did your best driving down this street, you made a miscalculation, the kid is dead, but you are trying to save the world, so be on your way?” Something tells me this is not what would happen. What I don’t get is that Mr. Bush makes his mistake and thinks he has a right to continue in his job. ...
I would love to hear Bush apologize tonight to the parents and loved ones of those who have died in Iraq. I would like to hear him say he knows what it means to love your children and that he, in good conscience, cannot send any more children to their deaths.
I just find it astonishing that he honestly believes that this crap resonates with normal people. What you have here is Michael Moore referring to grown adults, who enlisted in the armed forces voluntarily, of their own volition, knowing in advance the risks and responsibilities of their decision, as children, as if junior high school students are being rounded up by the truckload and shipped off to Iraq in the dark of night.
Now juxtapose that with the 500,000 children that the UN estimated died in the last decade under Saddam Hussein’s rule because of UN sanctions. The next 500,000 children will now live, thanks to the US intervention and deposing of the brutal Hussein regime, but nobody gives credit to Bush and Blair for that fact. Remember the CHILDREN’S PRISON that US forces liberated? Those kids don’t count, right Mikey? Because whoring out the memories of dead soldiers and portraying them as children is so vitally important to your cause, as is downplaying the brutality of life in Iraq under Saddam Hussein.
Hey, Mike. You know all that footage from Iraq you used in your last film? You didn’t go over there and shoot it yourself, did you? So, you were perfectly willing to send someone else’s children into a war zone to get footage that you did not have the balls to collect on your own. How could you send someone else’s children off into harm’s way like that? Oh, they weren’t children? They were adults?
How about that.
