ThinkFast: November 27, 2006
CNN’s John Roberts called the situation in Iraq an “absolute mess,” and said the media has “sanitized” their coverage of the violence. “The amount of death that’s on the streets of Baghdad for U.S. forces and for the Iraqi people is at an astronomical level,” Roberts said.
A draft of the Iraq Study Group’s report “urges an aggressive regional diplomatic initiative that includes direct talks with Iran and Syria but sets no timetables for a military withdrawal, according to officials who have seen all or parts of the document.”
Britain’s Defense Secretary said that UK troop levels in Iraq will be “significantly lower by a matter of thousands” at the end of next year. The UK currently has approximately 7,000 troops in Iraq.
Conservative congressional leaders are expected to punt the issue of completing spending bills to next year’s Congress rather than take the time to piece together the legislation, potentially the final act of the Do-Nothing Congress. “It could mean we would adjourn much earlier than most pundits think,” said one conservative Senate aide.
Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS), one of the foremost social conservatives in the Senate, “is considering whether to stop blocking a judicial nominee over concerns her appearance at a lesbian commitment ceremony betrayed her legal views on gay marriage.” Judge Janet Neff has said she attended the wedding as a friend of one of the two women, a longtime neighbor.
This week, President Bush visits Estonia and attends a two-day NATO summit in Latvia, where he will press “alliance members to increase defense spending.” From Latvia, Bush “heads to Amman, Jordan, for two days of talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.”
The Washington Times reviews Defense Secretary nominee Robert Gates’ writings and reports him to “be more cautious and pragmatic than his predecessor, Mr. Rumsfeld, who has transformed the military and aggressively hunted al Qaeda members.”
And finally: The War on Peace Wreaths heats up. “A homeowners association in southwestern Colorado has threatened to fine a resident $25 a day until she removes a Christmas wreath with a peace sign that some say is an anti-Iraq war protest or a symbol of Satan.” “The peace sign has a lot of negativity associated with it,” said Bob Kearns, president of the Loma Linda Homeowners Association in Pagosa Springs. The homeowner said she won’t take the wreath down until after the holidays.

I’ll throw my support to Michael Moore, who once again, sums things up perfectly… GET OUT OF IRAQ TODAY! Not 6 months from today. Not 30 days from today. TODAY! Nothing is to be gained by staying one more day.
Save our soldiers. Give Americans a $2 billion/week tax cut. Get out today!

Surprisingly, I think Martha made these on The Today Show for the holidays last year. (hee hee).
November 27th, 2006 at 9:24 amBetcha the Homeowner’s Assn. prez, Kearns, is a Republican who supports Bush and the war, and believes the “peace” sign is a personal affront. Only people who are unable to face facts would react as he did, by fining the peace sign owner and firing the directors who objected.
November 27th, 2006 at 9:27 amPretty autocratic, I’d say. As a member of our own Homeowner’s assn., I would make a motion that we dismiss the president.
news flash: nbc has decided that iraq IS in a CIVIL WAR… despite an official message deying such from the white house… matt even read a definition of ‘civil war’ just to be sure… so it’s official – nbc had declared it so…
November 27th, 2006 at 9:30 amThe Faux Decider GWB can fly all over the world, but where ever he stops he’s still the failed USA prez. He has no leverage on any issue at this point. Just like the Iraq Study Groupis not intended to actually “solve” the problem of Iraq, but to give the appearance doing something to deal with the problem that suddenly and unexpectedly occurred in Iraq, because the “Decider” has already decided that “leaving too soon would lead to defeat.”

You are so right – one of the reasons that I maintain a seat on our Board is to do my part in keeping our prez from satisfying his dictatorial bent.
No withdrawal plans from the ISG?
November 27th, 2006 at 9:36 amWhy am I not surprised? “The next 3 to 6 months” will be critical?
The boy-king is off on a diplomatic mission – just putting him and diplomatic in the same sentence is an oxymoron.
So from this morning’s Thinkfast we see that consservatives don’t like peace, won’t allow you to have friends that are gay, leave the country in a financial ruin for other to take care of, continue to drag feet in Iraq and still lay praise on Rumsfeld. And they wonder why they were voted out.

Unfortunately, pulling out our soldiers wouldn’t result in our government being able to give Americans a tax cut.
First, the money spent on Bush’s War is all borrowed funds, so ending the war merely reduces borrowing.
Second, the hundreds of billions of dollars borrowed for Bush’s War is not even part of the massive budget deficits! It’s been financed outside of the budget through supplemental authorizations. So ending Bush’s War won’t even shrink the deficit.

Since the Iraq War/Occupation is largely financed by borrowed Chinese money I once again make this suggestion…

November 27th, 2006 at 10:18 amThe president of the (Loma Linda) homeowners association ordered a commitee of 5 persons to order the wreath displayee to take it down, they refused saying it was a seasonal decoration, and not subject to the association rules about signs and advertizing. The president fired all 5 members of the committee.

I too believe that the HOA prez is an idiot. See my earlier post. But I do not believe that conservative christians were mentioned in the story, only that he said the peace sign was satanic. Linking the peace symbol to satan is a ludicrous stance, but please don’t drag conservative christians into it. I may disagree with them, but I don’t blame them for an other’s stupidity if not attributable.

November 27th, 2006 at 12:53 pmIt’s time to support humanitarian aid in Iraq and give back to the citizens that have had everything taken from them. The UN Millennium Development Goals address global poverty and improving the lives of people not only in Iraq, but the world over. Agreed to in 2000 by every nation on earth, the UN Millennium Development Goals aim to curb global poverty, establish equality, provide primary education, and stop the spread of disease. All ideas that we take for granted in developed countries. These are lofty goals, but by no means unattainable. The Borgen Project (http://www.borgenproject.org) is an organization lobbying US political leaders to support legislation addressing the UN Millennium Development Goals and global poverty. It is our responsibility to force governmental agendasetters to provide aid to those most in need, now during holiday season and continuously year round.

If you get your information from Michael Moore you are just as dumb as those that get their information from Rush Dimbulb. Both are fat asses that do not know their ass from their elbow.
I hope that fatass (MM) loses the lawsuit against him for being a vulture that prays on sedated soldiers and takes their comments out of context in order to line his own pockets.

Taking someone comments while they are sedated and being wheeled into surgery, then twisting things out of context is not truth. It is more like a hit job. Michael Moore has zero journalistic integrity. He does not do documentaries, he does long opinion pieces. He, in short, is a SCUMBAG.
November 27th, 2006 at 6:05 pmHere is a little truth for ya’
Iraq war vet sues Michael Moore, NBC
Sgt. Peter Damon deserves evey dime he can get from this dirtbag.
November 27th, 2006 at 6:11 pmI hate to nitpick, Robert, but a lawsuit isn’t truth either.
November 27th, 2006 at 6:27 pm#50 Sgt. Peter Damon deserves evey dime he can get from this dirtbag.
November 27th, 2006 at 6:40 pmRobert
Sgt. Damon is seeking $150 mil. for including him in a film of which he did not agree to be in, would be opposed to it’s politics, and possibly made him out to be against the war. I feel greatly for his injuries and no compensation can be enough for his sacrifice. But, a $150 mil? Why stop there? Why not $500 mil. Hell, a billion. Oh, we don’t want to look too opportunistic like Moore was. We’ll just keep it to $150 mil.
We have our integrity think of ya know.

Have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11, Robert?
November 27th, 2006 at 6:46 pmdlet, about your comment about Walmart…according to the book “The World is Flat: A brief history of the twenty first century” by Thomas Friedman…Walmart is certainly ruthless concerning its treatment of employees but the Chinese junk thing isn’t exactly true. What they did was pioneered a fantastically stream-line, state of the art supply chain and demanded the best prices from all of its suppliers.
Anyway, it’s a great book about, to put it in just a word, globalization. One comment the author makes loud and clear is that the Democratic party really needs to jump on new technology to make politics within the party better. It’s all about the ability to collaborate. By the way, in the Oxford dictionary of current language the second definition for “collaborate” is to betray one’s country by cooperating with the enemy.
November 27th, 2006 at 7:36 pmRobert, Michael Moore is a hero of mine. Children should be reading about him 50 years from now in history class. When the entire country was threatened by Bush, Cheney, Ari Fleisher, Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN to support the Iraq war OR ELSE risk being labeled a traitor Michael Moore took them all on. Fahrenheit 9/11 was a challenge to every claim made by the liars and presented real factual information that the news networks chose to ignore. Michael Moore did the work that the network news was too cowardly to do. He laid the groundwork for future progressive documentary makers. The service Michael Moore did for this country cannot be underestimated. Every claim in his movie was backed up by 3 mainstream easily verifiable sources. Despite death threats by extremist right wing wack jobs Michael forged ahead. And in the end, Michael has been vindicated. He was correct in his opposition to the war.
November 27th, 2006 at 7:42 pmWell said, Larry.
History will be kinder to Michael Moore (eventually), than it is to George W. Bush and his followers.
November 27th, 2006 at 8:05 pmrobert, robert, robert, dragging up old news again?
I mean, really. That lawsuit was filed last June. It’s old news.
And why did the guy wait TWO YEARS before filing a lawsuit for “defamation and infliction of emotional distress?” You’d think if he were distressed over Fahrenheit 9/11 had have known about it a lot sooner.
Let’s face it, the guy gave NBC permission to use the footage. NBC sold the rights to Mr. Moore. It’s not like Moore had a secret camera and video taped the guy without his knowledge.
The only “truth” in your link, robert, is that the guy found a lawyer two years later who would file a lawsuit on his behalf. I’m sure if you looked for two years, you could find a lawyer to take on just about any case, especially if you paid him or her up front!
Personally, I’m wondering if the attorney involved got sanctioned for filing a frivolous lawsuit. I also wonder if this suit has the financial backing of any of the right-wing groups that financed the Paula Jones litigation against Clinton.
But keep us posted, robert, on how this thing turns out, will ya?
November 27th, 2006 at 8:29 pmZooey, Yes I have seen Fahrenheit 9/11. I have also seen Bowling for Columbine(sic).
Larry from C,
So, are you are that, even though MM misrepresented what that soldier was saying, it was OK for him to do so because it served a greater cause?
BnF,
November 27th, 2006 at 9:09 pmHave you even bothered to study Sgt. Peter Damon’s story.?Or is it a case that since it was someone you agree with (MM) that they are untouchable. The good Sgt Damon would have been happy for a simple apology but kept getting stonewalled while Moore kept lining his pockets using the good Sgts name. Just because NBC sold the rights to Moore does not give him the right to take statements out of context and twist them to meet his own agenda.
BTW, Zooey, I watched a bootleg copy of a bootleg copy. I don’t want to put a dime in Moores pocket.
November 27th, 2006 at 9:11 pmRobert,
Did you read what Briseadh na Faire wrote? Obviously he has looked into this case.
Just because many of us respect and admire Michael Moore doesn’t mean that if he messes up we won’t call him on it.
I guess you’re on the moral high ground, Robert, since you’d rather put money in the pockets of criminals than a law abiding filmmaker.
November 27th, 2006 at 9:28 pmNope, in Iraq it is legal to buy the bootleg copies. Therefore not a criminal act. Sorry, Zooey.
November 27th, 2006 at 9:35 pmOk, Robert, I won’t get into that with you, even though I think it’s still questionable.
What about Briseadh na Faire’s comment, and the information it contains?
November 27th, 2006 at 9:39 pm#63 – robert,
November 27th, 2006 at 9:53 pmSo, on what planet is Iraq located? International Copyright Laws cover Earth.
I do not know who is backing the suit. My question is, did he bother too read the Sgts side before declairing it frivolous? Things that need to be concidered are (1)the fact that the Sgt took steps to gain a simple apology (2) the Sgt was undergoing recovery from his wounds and (3) The Sgt fulfilling his military duties.
Keep in mind that this soldier was shown, out of context, denouncing the United States military action in Iraq and attacking President Bush. Both of these are chargable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So, Moore, for his own desires not only damaged this mans reputation but threatened his livelyhood.
Here is something else for you to read about your hero.
Michael Moore profiting off my husbands blood
My husband’s bloody image was used on Fahrenheit 911 on scene 22 on the DVD. Michael Moore took this very personal tragedy and used it without a care about our family having to see this awful image captured on film. I bet he doesn’t even know that this Marine survived and still proudly serves his country.This movie is against everything my husband believes in. He has pride in his country and despite his disability, he has no regrets in his service to our Nation. He is truly an inspiration to all who meet him. He will continue to serve just as long as he is allowed to. The footage of my husband is pretty graphic, It’s amazing he survived. Ironically it was the body armour that saved his life, the body armour that Kerry voted against. He lost his right eye, hearing in his right ear, loss of sense of smell and is legally blind in his left eye. He says “Our country is still at war and I will not leave the military without a fight.” I don’t think this is what Michael Moore was expecting to hear from this bloody injured Marine he used for quite the opposite effect. Kerry like Moore also used this same footage of my husband. He used it and implied that he knew the father of this injured serviceman and that the father told him he did not want his son to go to war. I can’t believe that the two people that we despise the most, happen to be the two people who used the blood of my husband for their own benifit. April wife of Cee-gar Marine

robert, robert, robert, that’s not what the story in your link said. And your article said absolutely nothing about asking for a simple apology before filing a $150 million lawsuit. Come to think of it, what lawyer would take a client who says “I just want an apology. If I get an apology, that’s all I care about….oh, and by the way, if I don’t get an apology, then I want to sue for 150 million dollars” and then goes out and tries to get just an apology?
and you have an interesting set of situational ethics. Tell me, how do you know Iraq has no copyright laws? You have just admitted on a public forum to purchasing, and possessing illegal copies of a copyrighted work. That’s a FEDERAL OFFENSE, knothead! (one which is most likely monitored by the NSA)
You have no problem breaking the law, if it suits your purpose. so much for supporting the “party of moral values.” you claim to be a christian? ever heard of the ten commandments? one of them is “thou shalt not steal.” by knowingly purchasing a bootleg copy, you knowingly stole. now go explain that to your god.
I hope Michale Moore sues you!!!
November 27th, 2006 at 11:49 pmKeep in mind that this soldier was shown, out of context, denouncing the United States military action in Iraq and attacking President Bush.
Comment by robert — November 27, 2006 @ 9:55 pm
You are showing some reading comprehension issues. The article is clear that the lawsuit alleges Michael Moore’s film “denounces the United States military action in Iraq” by attacking President Bush. It says nothing about the film portraying Sgt. Damon in that light at all.
Go back to the article and re-read it.
November 28th, 2006 at 1:09 am#69, When you buy movies in Iraq, as I did, it is pretty clear that they are bootleg. The U.S. Customs Office allows us to bring ONE copy back to the States with us. Therefore, if it is legal to buy in Iraq and legal to bring back to the States then where is the legal violation. Trust me, this issue was investigated at length by the Staff Judge Advocates office to ensure service members were not violating the law.
But you did show something here. You obviously have not read anything about the case other than maybe Michael Moore’s side. Try going back and looking at all the information before you call something a frivolous lawsuit. The Sgt tried to get an apology before hireing a lawyer. After being stonewalled, he decided to up the stakes in order to get that fat ass that wanted to use his image and words to at least recognize the mistake and misquote. As far as I know, Michael Moore still will not comment on the case. I guess he is above apologizing to soldiers. We are just there for his conveniance.
You want to say that Bush and Company are using this war to line their pockets, but so are “people” like Moore.
November 28th, 2006 at 8:40 am71 – robert, my source of information was the article you provided. Whether or not the soldier asked for an apology is irrelevent as to the merits of the lawsuit. Based on the facts in your link and my knowledge of the cause of action for defamation and infliction of emotional distress, the grounds for this lawsuit looks extremely thin. Like I said above, keep us posted.
Regarding the bootleg issue, can you show/link to any document where the U.S. government’s official policy is to allow anyone to bring in bootleg copies of material protected under domestic and/or international copyright?
November 28th, 2006 at 9:08 am#72, BnF, I am trying to source a Document for you. Currently the only one I have access to can not be posted here as it is on a classified site.

No, Robert. I don’t “say” Bush & Co. are war profiteers. I can prove it.
Michael Moore wants to END the war you dolt. Not prolong it. You’re a terrible judge of character if you think MM’s motivation is $$$$. The fact that you cannot tell a humanitarian from a group of megalomanic, sociopathic fascist monsters makes arguing with you something I will no longer do.
