Where can I sign up to be in the film? Huh, where? I hate war too, especially if it puts some bucks in my pocket while everyone else does the work. Quick, sign up Frenchman as Chirac-he'd be perfect. Posted by: DoktorI at April 9, 2003 03:56 PMRobin Williams could somehow play the CNN news ticker that appears at the bottom of the TV screen - his gay hairdresser routine would be like, just s-so perfect esp. if he were to improvise and "play" the newsroom - mussin' the anchorman's hair - oh!! Posted by: thegreatcosmicjoke at April 9, 2003 04:28 PMand a guest cameo appearance Michael Moore as Baghdad Bob!!!! Posted by: Robert at April 9, 2003 04:39 PMSince Gen. Tommy Franks and Woody Harleson are both from my hometown of Midland, Texas[as is Pres. Dubya Bush] I think that it would be fitting if Woody protrayed "young Tommy Franks". Posted by: Wallace at April 9, 2003 04:55 PMEven the animals are getting into the "set them free mindset". Check this out Posted by: Okie Dokie at April 9, 2003 04:55 PMScott, so where's the "satire"??? LOL!
On a serious note: be sure to let whichever studio does this film ('cause you KNOW someone will) you will not support them casting ANYONE whose BIG ANTI-AMERICAN MOUTH was flapping. They don't even get to play the parts of the bad guys, like Arnett and Saddam and Chirac. I nominate James Woods as Prez Bush and Willis as the SpecOps team leader. Fred Thompson as General Franks. Sarah Michelle Gellar as PVT Lynch. Geraldo Rivera can play...HIMSELF! Posted by: AHA at April 9, 2003 05:41 PMBaghdad Bob would be perfect as co-producer. Like Moore, he believes reality is infinitely malleable. Posted by: Joanne Jacobs at April 9, 2003 05:47 PMI dont know what any of this has to do with looting. Posted by: Bambi Stokes-Hymington at April 9, 2003 05:49 PMOooh poopy diddles! I clicked the wrong one! Sometimes I think I'm a ditz. Posted by: Bambi Stokes-Hymington at April 9, 2003 05:51 PMWe could have Susan Sarandumb as one of the 72 virgins? Posted by: Mikey at April 9, 2003 06:10 PMIt would be good for America if Hallie Berrie could play a combat-tough Marine. It would show good diversity. I don't know whsat she thought about the war. She should play a high ranking one though because it would be degrading for her to play some enlisted swine. She should be the General in charge of the combat, then just before the Marines blow up a school full of children she could throw herself in front of the school and stop them. Posted by: Bambi Stokes-Hymington at April 9, 2003 06:29 PMMikey . . . . Uh, not a chance. Posted by: Gotta Be Me at April 9, 2003 06:37 PMAPRIL 9 2003 TO ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSED We have seen their kind before. They're the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way to where it ends in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies. GWB 9-20-2001 _______________________________ TO ALL THE PEOPLE NAMED BELOW F____ EVERY ONE OF YOU B****RDS WE WERE NEVER DECEIVED BY YOUR PRETENSES TO PIETY Artist United to Win without War Susan Sarandon - AKA - Susan Bin Laden AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....[ ] YOU FRENCHMAN AND YES JUSTICE HAS PREVAILED BAGHDAD HAS FALLEN!!!! What an amazing day. Nobody in history has ever done for anyone what we have done for and given the people in Iraq. Except of course, the last time we did it (for the French). Make that twice we did it for the French. Too bad for them, though, I guess they'll never make another dime off of Sadaam. Bravo JP. Jeananne "it wasn't hip" Garafalo can kiss this. Just a thought, but I think that Baghdad Bob should try to get a job at CNN or ABC, I think he would fit right in with those a**holes. To John Kerry: How 'bout that!!! What a great day. Be proud, people. This is a new beginning in the world. Oh, by the way, [ ] you Frenchman. Posted by: GHOST at April 9, 2003 07:16 PMRobin Williams could be the camel, since the hairiness is about equal, Sarandon could be the camel's ass, since the resemblance is amazing. Moore would be the Goodyear blimp, flying over the battlefield. The Ditzy Chicks could play the whores, since they have no acting experience and need a natural role. On a serious note, the real work will now begin. I pray we can be as successful at rebuilding their nation into a free republic, and that they don't [ ] up the freedom we have handed to them. Thanks, Scott, I think this site is the only thing that has kept me sane (although the protestors would disagree).

Posted by: jp at April 9, 2003 07:53 PMFrom Steven Den Beste: Japan has pledged up to $100 million to help pay for humanitarian aid to Iraq. France has pledged about $1 million. Update: France's ultimate contribution may ultimately be a lot larger than that, when they forfeit $8 billion in debt and $60+ billion in sweetheart oil deals. BUT MOST OF ALL ... I AM GOING TO MISS YOU ...BAGHDAD BOB I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU ... Iraqi Information Minister Hey! Not meaning to be tossing camel poop chunk in your punch bowl happy American people but Ooglay is still here okay? And still telling truth on diary that only you can reading by clicking me on my name. Now who can be telling me who is Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf? He is now in tunnel with Ooglay and says he is information minister, but never before am I or my family seeing him. We are thinking he is just some big liar. Posted by: Ooglay Hussein at April 9, 2003 08:45 PMIt still is not over yet. There are still fanatics trying to kill our guys. I have two friends that are over there. I pray for them and the rest of our troops. I ask for your prayers and thoughts for Zac and Tom. Posted by: Old Sailor at April 9, 2003 09:55 PMBox Office is down. Some blame war. I blame ScrappleFace. Posted by: Greyhawk at April 9, 2003 10:00 PMDearest Ooglay... After all, don't hold back...tell it like it is, and was for you. Hollywierd waits with baited (misspelling deliberate due to venom spewing liberal drivel)breath to hear about YOUR oppression. Were you illegitimate? Put that in too, so we can all feel your need to help the father you knew about. Posted by: Cricket at April 9, 2003 10:01 PMI'm on it, Sailor! Posted by: Greyhawk at April 9, 2003 10:01 PMI think Chevy Chase would make a good Hans Blix. Posted by: GHOST at April 9, 2003 10:07 PMI will miss Baghdad Bob also. I understand that he is going to become a speech writer for Kerry, Dashchle and Dean.
You supplied me with some of the best laughter I have had since the good old days of Saturday Night Live. You were Monthy Python's Flying Circus and Canada's Second City all rolled into one. You reflected the great slapstick humor of the immortals like Charlie Chaplin,Benny Hill,Marty Feldman,and Mr. Bean. You reminded me of the laughter I shared with friends while watching the Three Stooges and The Marx Brothers.You had the zany abstract wit of a Steve Wright, yet the talent to emulate the everyday blue collar humor, of a George Carlin.You were really funny. I felt the same sadness when Seinfeld went into syndication. I haven't been this teary eyed since the last taping of Cheers or when Get Smart was not picked up for another season. Every night I would watch television hoping that you would appear, you never disappointed me and when you did appear I laughed,...oh how I laughed. You certainly captured all these funny people and many more. You will be sorely missed. This is a very big blow to satire, but at least we still have French...

Posted by: Rich at April 9, 2003 10:42 PMMichael Moore forced to cancel his project Saddam and Me because the other participant's unavailbality has stunned Hollywood by lining up an all - fool cast to star in 'Iraqi Freedom' At the end of a long interview with the Hollywood Reporter Moore was asked where can you go from herer? Moore replied, "I'm already working on a remake of the movie, 'Reds'." "Interestingly," Moore continued, "I've lined up the same all-star (sic) cast." Posted by: Jericho at April 10, 2003 12:21 AMJames Woods as GWB??? get real! Bush HAS to be played by that guy that plays "Trip" on Star Trek "Enterprise". I like the idea of Fred Thompson as General Franks (he did a great job in "Feds")..and can totally see Sara Mivhelle Geller as PFC Lynch. Jp, Goodbye Saddam, I do my best but as our freinds the French say: C'est la vie. On to my new gig.I get a fast training from Rona Barret in "bitchy" style reporting.

Posted by: Susan Serin-Done at April 10, 2003 04:27 AMHollywood----April 10, 2003: Sad news to report this morning, Martin Sheen, Harry Belafonte, Janeane Garafalo, and Sean Penn, were all killed in a 'freak' accident, on the set of Michael Moore's new movie, "Iraqi Freedom". During a filming break, the stars were exercising on, what they assumed was a trampoline, and were crushed after, YES, you guessed it, when it turned out to be Mr. Moore's directors chair! Posted by: Susan Serin-Done at April 10, 2003 05:42 AMArabs Shocked, Relieved at Baghdad's Fall "We discovered that all what the (Iraqi) information minister was saying was all lies," said Ali Hassan, a government employee in Cairo, Egypt. "Now no one believes Al-Jazeera anymore."
Ha...Ha....Ha...Where are the protestors now? Looks like a lot of the Arabs aren't ready to turn themselves into Human Firecrackers. Maybe we should give them more credit and relize they are like everybody else in the world (Human Beings)- too long duped by the card carrying "Beret Wearing Socialists", eh, Frenchman? When I hear the people yell we are creating more Osma's, I think that they are some of the scariest racists in the world. Not all Arabs are terrorists just the fanatical ones that usually run and hide in France or are Jacque Chirac's secret lovers. Posted by: Harden Stuhl at April 10, 2003 12:54 PMTo a resident of Hollywood, the only good things in the world are those that either cause you to acquire millions of dollars and those that cost millions of dollars. Posted by: Executor at April 10, 2003 01:26 PMtgcj- LMAO! Justin, you there? I saw a re-run of Bill OíReillyís debate with al-Janeane Garbarfolo, and she said that if the Iraqi people did celebrate in the street she would personally deliver a bouquet of roses and a fruitcake to the White House. frogwatch- you can play the fruitcake. Posted by: Pooke at April 10, 2003 01:51 PMHey! Who is playing Ooglay? I tell you who is - Tom Selleck! I said already, Ooglay is looking like his Glorious Father! I believe Jon Lovitz should play the Information Minister. "Yeah, we're destroying the infidels at the gates, yeah that's the ticket" "They took over theeeeeeee wrong airport, yeah that's the ticket" Posted by: twalsh at April 10, 2003 03:36 PMOnce again, where's the satire??? That's pure Hollywood for you. Posted by: Archie's Bunker at April 10, 2003 07:52 PMInformal government sources have told me that a special unit of "Americans' is going to be inserted into Baghdad to handle negotiations between the Iraqi people and Hollywood. The Iraqis want an explanation of why their freedom from tyranny and random murder and torture was opposed by the very people who have devoted their lives to peace. Stay tuned for the dramatic scenes to be played out when Martin Sheen, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Babwa Striesand, Sean Penn, Michael Moore and their cohorts land in Baghdad and the Iraqis are told in advance as to who is coming. The negotiations are expected to be very brief and violent. Posted by: Rancid Roadkill at April 10, 2003 08:50 PMJon Lovitz for Baghdad Bob? TOO TOO PERFECT!!! Posted by: AHA at April 10, 2003 10:43 PMI'm hearing bits and pieces of stories of NON-Iraqi jihad fighters for Saddam's regime are being beat up/killed by Iraq citizens. Anyone have any links on that? Posted by: AHA at April 10, 2003 10:45 PMOogley, one word, Hollywood. They'd love you here. Come to papa. uhhh.... I better be quiet.

Hilarious,Hilarious,Hilarious,Hilarious! Posted by: Harden Stuhl at April 11, 2003 10:18 PMBoy, Mr. Moore and the rest of you who will be ACTING as if you really knew what these people went through. Don't you have any morals?? or at least respect for the dead and the ones who have suffered in this war for your right to make your B.S. film???? But I guess unless it affects you directly, you could care less. ha ha ha, I thought this was real! Sounds just like our hollywood bunch. Too funny.

After the first booing, Clinton commented "this sounds like a lot of Republicans are here" upon which the crowd went crazy and literally booed enough that Clinton left the stage.

To all of you who criticise people opposed to this war, let me ask you this: Which unelected dictatorship would you like your president to take down next? You have a pretty good choice: China
Oops. I forgot. It's ok to do these things if you are AMERICA's FRIEND. The trouble with some of the posters here is that they are too stupid to realise the consequences of this war go far beyond 'liberating the Iraqi people'. For a start, it's so obviously about liberating Iraqi OIL that it's unbelieveable. Oh, and about imposing a regime that won't give the 55% Iraqi Shia muslim majority a say in Iraq's affairs, ooohh noooooo. Shia's controlling the whole Northern Gulf and it's oil? Forget it! And if it's about the "War on Terrorism" post 9/11 then perhaps some of you less educated but more rabid posters should do a little research and find out from which country the majority of the 9/11 terrorists came. I'm not going to tell you, it's public information, and they're in the list above. But that would be too difficult, and would go against your incredibly blind support for a war which has led to the slaughter of thousands, including of your own, for NO moral reason. If only some Americans had the sense to look at their own country from an outside perspective, there's a fighting chance they'd work out how to stop people wanting to hurt or destroy. God help us if one of the many new terrorist created in the last few weeks (and you can bet there have been hundreds, if not thousands, and they have lots of financial backing) gets hold of even a low-yield nuke. May God or Allah or Buddha shine on you, because someone needs to show a few people the light. There's a much bigger picture here people, and you just aren't seeing it. Don't the bodybags even make you think for heaven's sake? Desert Gooner
To Alf and Mr. Ed: Stop your crying, how would you like to be the Father of such an embassasment as Moore? BTW, the only calls I get now-a-days are from, Jimmy Dean, and Bob Evans. There was one offer to cross dress, and portait some Senator from New York, but would have had to put on 100 pounds for the part, and it's much too hard to lose weight now-a-days!

But you gloss over points like that. My apologies and sympathies to the families and loved ones of the 100+ dead Americans and 37 dead Brits in this conflict (not to meantion the estimated 4000+ Iraqis, including at least 1,000 innocent civilians). Your boys (and Iraq's case, girls and children) died for no good moral reason, and their blood is on Bush and Blair's hands. Grow Up JP. And stop blowing trumpets you can't play, it grates on my ears. You and your countrymen still insist on playing with your big toys, and when a handful of half-educated Arabs come knocking on your door and kill a few people, instead of asking why and making the world a better place, you give it "Whoopass" and sundry other moronic testosterone-loaded yelps, then bomb the s**t out of a load of people who have little to do with it. God help the world of America is to be the World's policeman. We need a World's Serpico. (Note to JP; you might have to look that one up son). And JP, please, when quoting anything I've said, please try and be accurate. You aren't Condoleeza Rica mate. Or are you? :) Cheers, desert gooser AND PS Please Note: ScrappleFace readers are intelligent enough to express themselves without obscenities. Your insignificants is amusing, can you say total minority less than 20% Posted by: jp at April 15, 2003 04:34 PMpss your second hand delusional TV accounts of what's going on in Iraq and totally pathetic you may however file your appeal with greenpeace JP how come it takes you three messages to stay something and you still talk out of your ar*se? "When you next hear Blair or Straw or Bush talk about "bringing democracy to the people of Iraq", remember that it was the CIA that installed the Ba'ath Party in Baghdad from which emerged Saddam Hussein. "That was my favourite coup," said the CIA man responsible. When you next hear Blair and Bush talking about a "smoking gun" in Iraq, ask why the US government last December confiscated the 12,000 pages of Iraq's weapons declaration, saying they contained "sensitive information" which needed "a little editing". Sensitive indeed. The original Iraqi documents listed 150 American, British and other foreign companies that supplied Iraq with its nuclear, chemical and missile technology, many of them in illegal transactions." Then read this: http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=15&ItemID;=3426 And if you don't have anything meaningful to say, please don't use 3 messages to do it.... Oh yes. Halliburton net profits from war so far: $831 Million and counting (as of March). Dick Cheney net profits from Halliburton so far: $1 million (last year) and I expect a tidy bonus for this year's efforts. Coincidence? Draw your own conclusions. And finally, do you know what the Nuremburg trials were about? Cheers, Desert Gooner I must be one of those "posters here is that they are too stupid to realise the consequences of this war " funny thing however, Halliburton has been in Iraq but I am to stupid to realise I am blinded by the White House and the secrect mind control machine Halliburton has operated all over the world for 60 years. But Dick Cheney didn't get a $33 million pay off from them 6 years ago, and the contract they signed for behind-the-lines work was signed in 2001 with no competitive tender and in secrecy for 'security reasons'. This contract is expected to net them at least $1 Billion and that's before the real meat of the work gets dished out. Tell you what, amaze your friends with some in-depth analysis: http://truthout.org/docs_03/041703A.shtml Even you might actually find it interesting, if not educational. If you can last long enough to read it all, then maybe you can come back and give me your perspective on it?
