A real documentary about Iraq
If you’d like to see a real documentary about Iraq, I would check out the website for Gunner Palace. Unlike Moore, this filmmaker actually went to Iraq and put himself in harm’s way to tell a story rather than paying other people to do it for him. I think the site speaks for itself, as do the clips you can find there. The honesty comes shining through withough anyone having to make any excuses or assertions. Is it always pro-war, pro-soldier? No. But it’s real. And that’s a damn sight better than anything we’ve gotten from Mr. Moore in the last ten years.
Especially cool is the clip of the soldier playing guitar on top of Saddam’s Baghdad palace. You just have to see it for yourself. Pay close attention to the part after the music stops. Watch the Humvees traveling through the streets. THAT, my friends, is why a very small number of insurgents can make such a big impact on our military. Look at that maze! Every corner is like an ambush waiting to happen.
