Dear Mr. President: Send Even MORE Troops (and you go, too!) ...from Michael Moore
1/10/07
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 there 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

brilliant! brilliant!
yeah, it sucks when the truth is annoying....
no, it's more the way he is...I didn't argue with it not working...he's just annoying as hell and I think he'd be a great addition to our cause in Iraq for which he obviously wants to end. So if he really wants to save soldiers lives he'd go over there to help put a stop to this.
Someone... Please... Label me a name caller.

There are two sentences that might be true... the rest is annoying.
Name caller.
If all 3rd grade American kids were taught the syllabus according to Michael Moore I suspect the world would be a much better place.
ha ha ha...
how's the war going for you, genius...?
by the way, I'm pretty sure Moore uses a computer to write his letters, not a pen...but being as smart and witty as you are, you surely must have known that...right...
"the way he is"...? perhaps you are right, those who did not support this war should go and fight it, while the warmongers sit home and bitch about Michael Moore....great plan...:rolleyes:
let me spell it out for you...I think he's a jackass b/c of how he acts not b/c he's a liberal, or b/c he doesn't like bush, or b/c he has an agenda I don't agree with. Hey I'm trying to get this war ended too by offering up michael moore to help...i notice you haven't said it's not a good tactic; admit it, you know if we sent that man over to Iraq the conflict would be over in days as long as we could give him a megaphone
A computer instead of a pen?? That's your ace in the hole??

fair enough...
I would contend, though, perhaps it would be better to send hannity, o'reilly, and boortz....the hot air, and smell of bullshit would be enough to make any tar-or-ist run....:)
don't be upset lady, I was just pointing out has big and smart you are...
after all, you were the one attention-seeking...and you got it...
(((hugs))))...?
oh yeah, you didn't answer, how's your war going...?
Like 'Michael Moore is a complete idiot' is such a great reply and answer:rolleyes: You didn't even say why you think he's an idiot, what it is you disagree with...
naděje umírá poslední
I see your hannity and boortz and I'll raise you an Al Franken (i could be convinced to throw Coulter in for free)...we could get them from all sides
DEAL...!!!!
If Bush wants a surge of 20,000 more troops, then he should be putting his money where his mouth is, and actually go over to Iraq, and do something about it!! He can talk til he gets cancer of the jaw, but with him not being a leader here, is making all the difference. Truth is, he's a scared little boy about the whole thing, but that's another topic.
He, and his supporters should be signing up for military duty if they for so strongly for it.
no, we actually got the point of his letter. It's not anything that hasn't been said ad nauseum. "if you support the war you should go sign up"...there's nothing landbreaking about his letter. Of course that logic makes about as much sense as if you're pro-abortion you should go have an abortion b/c after all you do support it.
Which is why we worked out a compromise that would prob work better... send the blow-hards from both sides over their...and the nicole, paris's, of the world as well.
from my window to yours
Funny how even idiots outshine the president.

I have honestly never heard "if you're pro-abortion you should go have an abortion b/c after all you do support it"....
did you make that up...?
