You forgot to mention your mate Hitch

He did slip in a wry Denise there as a counter

settle down, A

Miller and Hitchens have done tons of interviews together, I think they were friends at one point.

@@nowheretorun98 Yes indeed, you had to be a friend of the great man for calling it like that, somehow that irritated him, as he once said abruptly to another offender …” I promise my mom I wasn’t going to shortened” prove that all of us certainly have our eccentricities.

Ah! Shut up.

That’s actually wrong. You have clearly never read a book he recommendeds A Bomb in my Garden written by one of Saddams nuclear scientist about how he was ordered to bury a centrifuge which you can look up as the book isn’t lying. Also that wasn’t his only argument. As he would say, it shows you know nothing about Saddam. He (and any sane person) wanted him removed because of his repeated invasion and attempted annexation of neighboring territory, his genocidal activities only stopped by outside force, his dealing in illegal weapons (which he did have and you don’t know where they went id love to know), and funding and sheltering terrorists. I don’t blame you for being ignorant because EVERYONE who talks about how Hitchens was so wrong about Iraq 1. know nothing about the country and it’s history and saddams regime 2. Have never read a word of Hitchens on Iraq or the Iraq war. Read maybe ONE book dude. Maybe starting with Hitchens book on the Iraq war “A Long Short War”

Too bad he showed integrity? Even if you don’t think he got it write he showed a lot of professional courage not being pigeon-holed ideologically.

WMDs were not why Christopher was for the removal of Saddam. And he did have those weapons, we don’t know where they went. He did have a nuclear program, read A Bomb in my Garden by Iraqi nuclear scientist Mahdi Obeidi. Stop believing the left wing populist lies about a country you know nothing about PLEASE.

@@howdydoo9148as Hitch said himself, if someone says “Saddam is a bad guy you know that person knows nothing about Iraq”. Your comment shows he was right about that.

Read “a bomb in my garden” so you can learn that you are wrong.

The same day the worms started to eat your brain.

He was for liberating the Kurds and removing Saddam since before bush was ever president.

Lol thanks Chris, for that ol’ nugget.

Yep, and we were wrong to leave. We just put them back into the dark ages by handing it over. Think about all the women and girls there who are about to see what few rights they have extinguished.

*What's your point?*

@@ShuffleboardJerk **Christopher*

@Mark Callaghan - Your comment is pathetic! I DON'T think there was anything wrong about Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" anyway! By the way, the two George Bushes were truly DISGRACEFUL U.S. presidents that were responsible for the conflict in Iraq as well as the Middle East by U.S. military forces years ago!

Sure, if u don't like facts

Name one lie.

are you trying to say that bush was or is on the side of the bin laden family, (another michael moore crackpot found)

Read your own statement. You are requesting proof for a negative. Try again.

​@@beksinski If you don't agree with me have the sack to say so and shove the grammatical bs where it won't fit.

@@beksinski Does your mom know you're back to sniffing glue in the basement? "Ryan, I can smell it clear up here.." lol

So do you think he was acting in proxy for Bush's self interest?

No he wasn’t. Tell me what he was wrong about?

Hitchens made a fairly strong argument for intervention in Iraq.

@@mervinprone indeed and i think he was right especially with not having hindsight, which people forget, and just having the info in 2003. It was the right move the remove saddam, and he should have been removed after he tried to genocide the kurds or other iraqis after the war in 1991 too. Have you read or listened to Hitchens’s memoir?

@@1984isnotamanual I’ve read parts of Hitch 22 and I’ve read what he said about Iraq, the four conditions under which a country gives up the right to its sovereignty, the inevitable collapse of Iraq anyway (and with that, a vacuum that might be filled with the worst elements of human civilization), the responsibility to deal with Saddam Hussein because The CIA was instrumental in installing him in the first place, the error he said GWB was correcting for his father, who let him stay in power. The attempted purchase of weapons of mass destruction from North Korea. So, essentially he makes anyone look foolish for just saying “but there were no weapons of mass destruction found” - the overused argument used by people against the Iraq war, most of whom have only cursory knowledge of the situation. Ironically, the best argument I’ve heard against Hitchens’ position was from his own brother, Peter, who claimed Christopher was being far too idealistic and utopian. That it’s not the role of the USA to go around replacing rogue governments.

@@mervinprone yes but Hitchens countered that by saying it was our role to save Iraq from total collapse and try to make the democracy work because of our past collusion with the Saddam regime, and because Saddam was letting jihadist fighters fleeing our army in Afghanistan, this at a time when even Pakistan and Saudi Arabia was kicking Al Qaeda types out, saddam was welcoming them in. Far to dangerous to place to bets on a stable, non-jihadist iraq without our intervention. Oh and i ask because in yourube the hitch-22 audiobook has been posted for free. Hitch reads it himself! Check out the chapter on Iraq, it has Mesopotamia in the name and it is in part two (the audiobook is posted in two videos)

Yeah, they should have just stayed home a done nothing.

They werent kicking asses. Theybwere losing far more then america in terms of bodies. But with help from the caves and guerilla warfare the war went on far far longer than the american public wanted, just like vietnam. Thats how they won that war, by just lasting.

Did you support landmines and a poisoning of water supplies? No? Well enjoy your seat. Next.

That was done by biden against everyone's wish

@Karen Dunlop - Personally, I think YOU are dead wrong about Michael Moore as a filmmaker! After all, his documentaries were successful in years past!

@@robertpolanco1973 yes I have watched them all but his focus is mainly on the problems rather than solutions.

@@a13xdunlop - Yeah! I guess you may be somewhat right on that. But still, I really do not think that Michael Moore is a bad filmmaker and he does deal with certain issues even IF the solutions are not easy to find anyway.

@@robertpolanco1973 i do not think he is a bad film maker, just not a particularly good one. I watch his films though as the content is always interesting.

@@a13xdunlop Yeah! Nice try, Dunlop!

2006 called, it wants its dumb conspiracy theory back

It doesn’t exist Bubba.

Moore is so beyond exposed at this point, that I find it more than difficult... Nevermind. Fly your Michael Moore flag in 2023. Go ahead.

@@niceguy1774 That comment of yours IS so ridiculous beyond this point about Michael Moore and it is so typical of right-wing fools like yourself believing anything coming from his legion of HATERS and DETRACTORS because Mr. Moore has been entitled to spread his message about the faults of U.S. foreign and domestic policies for his documentaries for decades. Like grow up, will ya?

@@robertpolanco1973 "Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man" is a great book. Especially if you weren't swift enough to catch the shadow shifts on Charlton Heston in Moore's "Gunz Bad!" crocumentary.

@@niceguy1774 Well, I read that horrible book years ago and I DON'T accept the arguments presented in it about Michael Moore. After all, I even saw the two right-wing numbnuts in a documentary that was made as a response to "Fahrenheit 9/11" and I HATED them as well.
