Michael Moore Signs Big Stars for 'Iraqi Freedom'

(2003-04-09) -- Oscar-winning documentarist Michael Moore announced today he had signed a "big-name cast of celebrities" to star in his next film, tentatively entitled 'Iraqi Freedom'.

The movie, celebrating the war to topple Saddam Hussein, will feature:
-- Martin Sheen as Gen. Tommy Franks
-- Harry Belafonte as Brig. General Vincent Brooks
-- Janeane Garofalo as Pfc. Jessica Lynch
-- Sean Penn as 32-year-old Mohammed, who directed rescuers to Jessica Lynch.

Although everyone involved in the film opposed the war in Iraq, Mr. Moore said, "That's no reason why we shouldn't make some money off it. That's the great thing about America. You can hate it, and still cash in."

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.

Robin 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!!

and a guest cameo appearance Michael Moore as Baghdad Bob!!!!

Posted by: Robert at April 9, 2003 04:39 PM

Since 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".

Scott, so where's the "satire"??? LOL!
Don't forget The Baldwin bros. staring as Saddam,Quasy,& Uday Hussien.


No roles available for Susan Sarrandon...they could'nt find any Iraqi women THAT old!

Posted by: mike at April 9, 2003 05:02 PM

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 PM

Baghdad Bob would be perfect as co-producer. Like Moore, he believes reality is infinitely malleable.

We could have Susan Sarandumb as one of the 72 virgins?

Posted by: Mikey at April 9, 2003 06:10 PM

It 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.

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.

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.

Robin 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).

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.

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.

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.

A personal Note to Baghdad Bob,

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...

Michael 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 AM

James Woods as GWB??? get real! Bush HAS to be played by that guy that plays "Trip" on Star Trek "Enterprise".
"Baghdad Bob" has to be played by either Bill Murray or Michael Palin;
and, co-starring as The Butcher Of Baghdad: Jack Nicholson! (Jack would play the role to the f$%^&* hilt!)

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.
...and Hallie Barry might do well as Condee Rice.

Michael Moore's latest project "Iraqi Freedom" is way over budget. Whispers have it that a certain rotund producer has blown half the picture's operating budget on the lunch wagons. And was that "Ross the intern" on the "Tonight Show" giggling as he pranced into the casting trailer? What part will he be playing?

Not bad, eh?

Hollywood----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 AM

Arabs 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."


In a live report from Baghdad, correspondent Shaker Hamed of Abu Dhabi Television said:"We are all in shock. How did things come to such an end? How did U.S. tanks enter the center of the city? Where is the resistance? This collapse is puzzling. Was it the result of the collapse of communications between the commanders? Between the political leadership? How come Baghdad falls so easily."


Mohammed al-Shahhal, a 49-year-old teacher in Tripoli, Lebanon, said the scenes reminded him of the collapse of the Soviet Union.


"Those who applauded the collapse of Lenin's statue for some Pepsi and hamburgers felt the hunger later on and regretted what they did," al-Shahhal said.


However, Tannous Basil, a 47-year-old cardiologist in Sidon, Lebanon, said Saddam's regime was a "dictatorship and had to go."


"I don't like the idea of having the Americans here, but we asked for it," he said. "Why don't we see the Americans going to Finland, for example? They come here because our area is filled with dictatorships like Saddam's."

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.

Informal 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.

Only if you have the right tape! The Hilrod-gets-booed part of the Concert for New York was altered in final production, so that on any re-broadcasts or on commercial tape/DVD she is greeted with thunderous applause!

Surprisingly, both versions were shown on a newsmagazine show (NBC, I think, Stossel?). Good stuff, the remix was a real smack in the face to the heroes of N.Y.

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
Saudi Arabia
Kuwait
Bahrain
Qatar
Oman


All of these muzzle their media, oppress their people and deny them their democratic rights. Oh, and China DEFINITELY has weapons of mass destruction if that's the criteria.

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?

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!

Oink, Oink, to all my peeps out there!

Greetings, and welcome to Ghost Planet, citizens. I am Space Ghost. With me are Moltar, the show's director, and Zorak, bandleader of the Original Way Outs. This week my guest is that eccentric Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, who'll attempt to illuminate why you Anti-War Protestors are so fixated on the defeat of your own American Troops. Or not. Watch anyway. Oh, and some guy named Peter Arnett will be there too. This Friday on Cartoon Network.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) ó Wednesday, April 9, 2003
Thank you, thank you, Mr. Bush!" crowds chanting in Baghdad
"We are with the U.S.!" U.S Marines are being covered with flowers


Israel April 13 2003 ( Haaretz) -- Iraq war has created chance with Palestinians
Prime Minister Sharon Are you now prepared to consider the evacuation of isolated settlements?
"If we reach a situation of true peace, real peace, peace for generations, we will have to make painful concessions. Not in exchange for promises, but rather in exchange for peace."

TEHRAN, Iran, April 12 (UPI) -- Iran on Saturday hinted at ways the Shiite Muslim country could resume ties with the United States, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.


North Korea April 12 (UPI) -- hinted Saturday it could accept U.S. demands for multilateral talks to discuss the communist country's suspected nuclear weapons program.The announcement might herald a dramatic change in North Korean policy. Until now, the North has insisted on only direct talks with Washington to negotiate a nonaggression treaty.

CONCLUSION:

The Bush Doctrine - 41 Million people now live in freedom, from oppresive tyrant rulers Taliban ...Saddam Hussein, ARE GONE in less than two years George Bush's Doctrine Has given Freedom to more people in less time, than any other human in history

Posted by: Greyhawk at April 14, 2003 06:46 AM

Thank you 'JP' for illuminating the conversation with such trivia. Small points:

(1) Qatar is ruled by the Al Thanis. Qataris do not have the vote.
(2) Kuwait is ruled by the Al Sabah's. A few Kuwaitis (but no women) have the vote.
(3) Ariel Sharon is prepared to give up some settlements to "win peace". All of the settlements over which he has presided are on occupied territory in defiance of UN resolutions. So he shouldn't have them anyway.
So basically I steal your bank account but in return for you forgiving me, return half of it.
Good deal eh?
As for North Korea, most of the diplomatic world knows that they don't really represent a threat to world peace (any more than Saddam ever did), and their bluster is primarily aimed at what America laughingly calls "Chequebook Diplomacy", i.e. "We can't fight the war on terrorism, but give us some cash anyway".
As for Iran, oh yes they want ties with the US. They want a Shia majority in power in Iraq, and who's in charge of setting up the government? :)
As for the flowers for marines, well I'm guessing you're watching CNN (which has a censorship policy whereby Atlanta controllers have editorial control over field reports), so you didn't see the Iraqis screaming at Americans to stop the looters and give them food and water.
Or perhaps pictures of Baghdad hospitals who are having to pump untreated water from the Tigris as their only water supply.
Take your blinkers off and read some news from outside:

Anti-US protest in Baghdad

A noisy crowd of Iraqis gathered around Baghdad's Palestine Hotel and raised anti-American slogans on Sunday, signaling that the popular mood in the besieged capital was fast turning against the US troops.

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW


We're not deceived by their pretenses to piety.

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.

And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. { Every } nation in every
region now has a decision to make: Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.

From this day forward, { any } nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be
regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.

Our nation has been put on notice.
We're not immune from attack.

We will take defensive measures against terrorism to protect Americans.

I could cite a lote more evidence of Iraqis not wanting Americans in Iraq any more; they've realised that their "freedom" (read American control over their economy) has been sacrificed at the expense of stability. But you gloss over points like that.
I could repeat that America will not invade puppet dictatorships that agree with it (c.f. Qatar, Saudi, Oman, Bahrain), but you missed that point as well.
I could reiterate that the main reason for this "war" (read invasion) was given as the need to eliminate Weapons of Mass Destruction, and then point out that since day 2 of the conflict, both the White House and the Pentagon have been referring to the "liberation of Iraq" as the main reason. In other words, they lied.
I would have thought that by now most stupid Americans would be able to see through the bullshit that comes out of the Whitehouse (you even caught Clinton with his pants down ffs), but obviously you don't.
Keep trotting out the line about the "war on terrorism" won't you. Because the majority of the terrorists that flew into the WTC were MIDDLE CLASS SAUDI ARABIANS. And I don't see the accidental president invading Saudi.
And JP, if all you can offer by way of reasoned debate is imbecilic goading, you might get a better and more predictable response on IRC in, oh, #TEENS perhaps?
Oh, and by the way, most of South Korea hates America as well, and the majority of the public want the US troops out. As for N. Korea having the technology to lob ICBMs at the continental USA, that's right up there with the "14,000 sites in Iraq that harbour WMDs". Do you believe everything you read? I have a piece of the Iraqi Scud that landed 5km from my house; it was aimed at an Air Base 30Km away from a distance of only a few hundred km. Now extrapolate that to trans-pacific distance (unless you think they would launch over the North Pole... you don't do you?)

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? :)

JP how come it takes you three messages to stay something and you still talk out of your ar*se?
What do Greenpeace have to do with it?
Here's a bit more homework for you courtesy of Jon Pilger in January (if you can read, some of the words are more than one syllable):

"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?

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
for the last 60 years ...seeing that a war in Iraq is going on how is it Halliburton as you so say made "$831 Million and counting (as of March)." must be hard having to duct every time an F-117 flys over or do business in a battle zone

but I am to stupid to realise I am blinded by the White House and the secrect mind control machine

Posted by: jp at April 16, 2003 04:35 AM

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:

Historical perspectives seem to be lost when viewed through a keyhole. Those who hate us, hate us. So be it - I would rather do right and be hated than to be a quisling and think nobody will find out. Those who have no conscience do not trust or believe that there are others who truly do good deeds with no hidden agenda.
