BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Iraqi militant group has produced an elaborate video of what it said were attacks on U.S. troops, in the latest example of the increasingly sophisticated propaganda war being waged by Iraqi insurgents.

Lifting scenes from Michael Moore's anti-war film "Fahrenheit 9/11", Rashedeen's narrator taunts President Bush in softly spoken English over graphic images of Humvees being blown up by roadside bombs, and purportedly dead U.S. troops.

.........................

At one point, the documentary cuts to a scene from Moore's 2004 award-winning film where he lobbies on the steps of the U.S. Congress in Washington.

"After all, there are honest and influential guys in America and if Mr Moore can talk to you like that, so can I," the Rashedeen narrator says.

1. Smell that?

Something just don't smell right about this story....

[Skinner]

2. Great.

No doubt, conservatives here in the US are going to use this as "proof" that liberals support terrorists.

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I might think this is just too perfect...

[dogday]

3. It sure is convenient for them

Plays right into their hands.... Like I said in my other post, something does not smell right....

4. I don't doubt that the Bushies are behind this

and that the Pentagon distributed it.

Such utter bullshit. Republicans support terrorism by continuing to create new terrorists.

5. very peculiar...

very odd indeed...

[halobeam]

6. He's doing work on Katrina, right? I KNOW the pubs are after Moore..

and this is just probably another convenient piece of misinformation let out in a conveniently timely manner. Even if it has some truth, that references were made to Moore by this guy, it's the references to Bush that should be standing out... which of course the media won't point out.... they are so complicit.

8. I remember the maimed soldiers more than "bombs blowing up" in F-9/11

And Moore would have pulled the bombings from file footage. This does not prove anything

9. Let's wait and see how fast the MSM picks this up.

If they all start playing this story at the exact same time...I'll smell a rat.

10. Why Don't They Just Use His Own Words? n/t

11. I can't believe how cynical I've become...

and how naive I was before the BushCo coup six years ago. These days I suspect most mainstream "news" to be propaganda unless it is proven to be otherwise. :tinfoilhat:

We're all sadder but wiser, I guess. :cry:

And pissed as hell. Let's use our anger to throw the evil lying bastards out! :mad:
