Who's freedom are they fighting for Pat? Most of the insurgents aren't even from Iraq.

Wow. Another odd remark. I don't remember saying I support them and I don't remember reading anything about Michael Moore supporting them. Calling them minutemen of Iraq isn't supporting them. They're the minutemen of Iraq.

They're fighting to rid the US of their country.
Well PERHAPS you don't support the insurgents, but Michael Moore certainly does. I quote:
"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".

According to Moore, the insurgents aren't even the enemy!

And look at the stories of Iraqi's now. Iraq is twice as bad now as it was when we first entered. BTW, Iraq didn't have terrorists until we went into that country. We turned our backs on the center of terrorism in Afghanistan.

There were terrorists in Iraq before we attacked them. Abu Abbas, who was on the U.S. most wanted list, was in Iraq. Their were also reports of meetings between Iraqi officials and Al Qaeda operatives, including offers of safe harbor for Bin Laden. This is according to the 9/11 commission report. You also have to remember Saddam's support for Palestinian suicide bombers. At any rate, I don't plan on getting into another debate about why we're at war in Iraq, especially with someone like yourself. Oh and about the links, SOMETHING UNBIASED PLEASE

Another odd statement. What a surprise. I never said the minutemen of Iraq were helping Iraqi people. I said they were fighting to get the US out of Iraq and fighting the US. BTW, don't talk about thugs if you don't know the true meaning. Thanks.

Could you explain to me how it IS anti-American to compare the insurgents in Iraq to our minutemen? I have said nothing anti-American in this post. -Pat
Oh no, more "odd" statements! Sorry I don't follow popular rap culture Pat, I just use the dictionaries definition of "thug" instead. After all, everyone can't be as knowledgeable as you are
:rolleyes:

Damn, just look what I got myself into. I wasted a few precious minutes of my young life responding to someone who thinks the Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq can somehow be equated with American minutemen. I should probably return to watching Double-J argue with Pat instead .
