H/t LGF. Director Brian De Palma has released a new anti-US film, in which he depicts a fictionalized rape of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl, and murder of her parents, by US troops. The European media is having a field day with this troop-bashing film, calling it “Halfway between documentary and fiction”.

And, of course, it’s time for some hate over at HuffPo. Heading over there, you can enjoy some tolerant and peaceful comments like:

2 thumbs up for depalma, he has the guts to show the world the slaughter of innocent women and babies in iraq by american soldiers.
this senseless and immoral slaughter of humans simply shows to what length america will go to secure oil, bush’s premise for this war was bullshit. americans who believe in bush are as guilty as he is for the slaughter in iraq, fuck bush and fuck america, your day will come.

“f*ck America”. Lovely. Don’t you dare question their patriotism, though. Some more:

I hope the US Media had the courage to show the truth about this Illegal Invasion!

Thanks DePalma!

Ignore the fact that it was approved by Congress, and therefore legal. That doesn’t fit our agenda! The anti-war Democrat talking point is that the war is illegal…yet they never explain how they come to that conclusion. The Constitution gives Congress the right to declare war. The President also has limited power to. The President put it before Congress, Congress approved it. They then switch from saying it’s “unconstitutional” to saying it violates international law. These legal geniuses who don’t understand our own Constitution, are now apparently experts in international law.

It’s when the conspiracy theories start coming out that I leave HuffPo. Libs claim Bush lied. How he lied, they usually don’t mention. About the WMDs? The same ones Democratic Senator Joseph Biden, Chairman of Foreign Relations, continues to demand were there and the UN documented? To quote Biden, the WMDs “weren’t some Cheney pipe dream”. So, what did Bush lie about?

Then there’s the theory that we’re there for oil. Yeah. That’s why gas prices are higher than ever and we’re pushing the Iraqi government to put together an oil-sharing plan between the Sunnis and Shiite.

Then there’s the argument made that because of Bush’s policies, we’re no safer (or we’re even less safe). The first, and last, attack under Bush, 9/11, came just 8 months into his Presidency. Turns out Clinton could’ve killed bin Laden several times, but his CIA didn’t have a plan to deal with him. There hasn’t been an attack on US soil for 6 years. Several plots have been thwarted. That’s not safer?

Gotta love HuffPo.
