Michael Moore Minutemen Watch

"The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' or 'The Enemy'. They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow - and they will win."

--Michael Moore, April 14th, 2004

The Minutemen Mr. Moore refers to were, of course, the civilian militia of the American war of independence. Just as well known is the fact that Moore's Iraqi Minutemen have been blasting, maiming and beheading their way across Iraq since the summer of '03.

Well, Mr. Moore's Iraqi Minutemen have struck again. Today, they blasted two mosques and a Shiite religious ceremony commemorating the death of the Prophet Mohammed's grandson. In one case, a courageous minuteman blew himself up inside a mosque during Friday prayers in Baghdad--the body count currently stands at 31.

Michael Moore's Minutemen had another big day spreading mayhem. At last count there have been eight new suicide bombings in Baghdad and other parts of Iraq. Today's carnage included a minuteman who walked into a tent outside the Fatah Pasha mosque in western Baghdad and blew himself up, killing at least three people and injuring 10. About 50 people were inside the tent attending a funeral for some of the minutemen's previous victims. Another minuteman blew himself up on a public bus in Kadhimiya, killing one child and six adults, and wounding a dozen more. An additional Moore minuteman blew himself up close to the Nada Mosque in Kadhimiya, killing 7, and injuring 55. A few courageous minutemen also holed themselves up in a Baghdad building and opened fire on a funeral procession in which mourners carried coffins of some of those killed by the minutemen on Friday in a bombing at the capital's al-Khadimain mosque. All told, a truly stellar day for Michael Moore's intrepid Minutemen.

Chalk up another courageous attack by Michael Moore's Minutemen. Paying the ultimate sacrifice for his noble cause, today's featured minuteman carried out a suicide bombing at a funeral procession in the al-Ta'meen district of Mosul in an open space near the Shahedayein Mosque. The funeral was for Hashim Mahmoud al-Aaraji, a professor at a Mosul University. "As we were inside the mosque, we saw a ball of fire and heard a huge explosion," Tahir Abdullah Sultan, 45, told The Associated Press. "After that blood and pieces of flesh were scattered around the place." The body count currently stands at 46.

Now repeat after Michael and me: "The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists'...."
