Bruce Willis visits Iraq

| No Comments
From Shining Full Plate and a Good Broadsword comes this link to an interview by MSNBC's Rita Cosby of Bruce Willis who has just returned from Iraq and who saw quite a different country than the Main Stream Media. Sir Banagor:
Bruce Willis: Action Hero
A lot of people think that Hollywood stars are pampered idiots with no perspective of reality, and they�re right.

But along comes yet another exception to the rule: Bruce Willis:
COSBY: Getting stories out of Iraq is not easy. Bruce Willis found that out firsthand when he went over to visit U.S. troops serving in Armed Forces.

Tonight, we are rejoined by an independent blogger who is bringing back some amazing pictures and stories from Iraq, Michael Yon. And also again with us is actor Bruce Willis, who is back with us on the phone.

It�s great to have both of you here. You know, Bruce, I want to start with you. Last night, we talked a little bit about what�s happening over in Iraq. You said the media isn�t covering the full story. What are we missing?

BRUCE WILLIS, ACTOR: I am baffled to understand why the things that I saw happening in Iraq, really good things happening in Iraq, are not being reported on.

Michael has been over there, was embedded with the members of the Deuce Four, you know, the battalion that actually won the battle for Mosul, that � Michael, correct me if I�m wrong � these are the guys who allowed the election to take place, the election that happened just, you know, a couple months ago, to take place, which is, you know, just a monumental thing. And it�s not being reported on.

COSBY: You know, Bruce, you know, let�s face it. A lot of celebrities have not been over there. A lot of folks in Hollywood have been very critical of what�s happening in the war. Do you think, if a lot of your colleagues in Hollywood went over there, saw it for themselves, they�d have a different opinion?

WILLIS: I absolutely think that. I think we live in a global world. And I think that � I think America is just too isolationist.

And a lot of big choices are being made. You know, to say this is not our fight, when this is the same fight that this country fought 60 years ago and the entire world fought 60 years ago, for the same kind of terrorism, the same kind of thing.

This is not a new war. This is not a new kind of fighting. This is the same fight. And it�s back. And it�s time for it to stop.
