Probably Lies
The "Guardian" is carrying excerpts from Michael Moore's new book in which he reprints some of the letters he has received from US troops in Iraq. Here are some excerpts:
I was over there from Jan'03 to Aug'03. I hated every minute. It was a daily battle to keep my spirits up. I hate the army and my job. I am supposed to get out next February but will now be unable to because the asshole in the White House decided that now would be a great time to put a stop-loss in effect for the army.
AND
These roadside bombs nearly destroyed one of our Hummers and riddled my friends with shrapnel, almost killing them. They would not have had a scratch if they had the "Up Armour" kits on them. So where was [George] W [Bush] on that one?
Read for yourself.
