Moore's Minutemen


"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. Get it, Mr. Bush?"

Corpulent, reprehensible, anti-American Michael Moore, April 14, 2004


Al-Qaida Leader in Iraq Declares 'fierce War' on Democracy



BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq's most feared terror chief declared a "fierce war" on democracy in a new audio recording posted Sunday on the Web, as insurgents attacked another polling station to be used in next weekend's landmark elections.

...

In the audiotape, a speaker identifying himself as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - the leader of Iraq's al-Qaida affiliate - called candidates running in the elections "demi-idols" and said those who vote for them "are infidels."

"We have declared a fierce war on this evil principle of democracy and those who follow this wrong ideology," [emphasis ours] the speaker said. "Anyone who tries to help set up this system is part of it" - a clear warning to both candidates and those who choose to vote.

The speaker warned Iraqis to be careful of "the enemy's plan to implement so-called democracy in your country." He said the Americans have engineered the election to install Shiite Muslims in power.

We shouldn't have to explain the difference between the Minutemen and the "insurgents" in Iraq -- most kindergartners can grasp this -- but Mr. Moore, the world's largest natural reserve of methane, is a touch -- daft.

Mikey, the Minutemen were fighting for Liberty and self-determination. Seems to me, based on the words of your buddy above, the terrorists -- and that IS what they are -- are striving for just the opposite.

GET IT, FAT HEAD?!
