Michael Moore's Minutemen: The Glorious Struggle

Can’t resist yet another follow-up on the latest exploits of Michael Moore's Minutemen. This latest outrage was so diabolical, so despicable, so depraved, so barbaric that it cannot go unnoted. Let’s recall Michael’s famous words once again:

"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."

To which I would respond: Michael, did you catch the latest news from Baghdad? Did you hear what your courageous Minutemen accomplished today? It was masterful. You should be proud.

Three well-timed bombs, all calculated for maximum carnage. The first intrepid Minuteman detonated his vehicle outside the crowded Nahda bus station in central Baghdad, the Iraqi equivalent of Manhattan's Port Authority Terminal, right at the peak of morning work traffic. A few minutes later a second heroic Minuteman blew his ride in the open-air station's parking lot, well-targeted to catch the fleeing. Fifteen minutes later a third mighty Moore Minuteman let loose near the Kindi Hospital as many of the wounded were arriving, finishing off those evil commuters as well as medics.

“Hours later, the charred remains of those buses lay scattered across the site, and policemen inspecting them pulled out items such as a baby's milk bottle and tattered pieces of clothing... By noon, the morgue of a nearby hospital was overflowing with bodies, and fresh corpses being brought there had to be stacked outside in the 120-degree heat,” reports the NY Times.

Let’s update the Michael Moore Minutemen scoreboard: add 43 people killed and 76 wounded, innocent civilians all. A truly stellar achievement.

Witnessing this atrocity is to look into the face of pure evil. Maybe Michael Moore could attempt some claim to ignorance when he labeled these monsters “Minutemen” back in April 2004. A man with any integrity would have since apologized, in humble regret, for such outrageous remarks and done so some time ago. Helpful thoughts to keep in mind the next time Moore rolls out his next book or film.
