New movie supports Iraq invasion

A new movie supporting the U.S. invasion of Iraq makes the case that a weapon of mass destruction was indeed found during the war – and he's sitting in prison awaiting trial on war crimes charges.
"WMD – The Murderous Reign of Saddam Hussein" is intended to remind Americans that Saddam Hussein was himself a weapon of mass destruction, responsible for the deaths of 1.3 million of his own people during his brutal 30 years of rule.
The documentary, set for theatrical release this week, is the first for Brad Maaske, a California businessman troubled by works like Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" and the efforts of some uninformed Hollywood filmmakes.
In fact, in "WMD" Michael Moore gets the ambush interview treatment he often reserves for others. The filmmakers staked out his New York residence for days until he came out to meet the camera.
But the hard edge of "WMD" are eyewitness accounts and never-before-seen footage of chemical attacks, murders and torture leveled agains the Kurdish population of Iraq dating from Saddam Hussein's rise to power and spanning more than two decades.
Pivotal to Maaske's decision to develop "WMD" was his meeting with Jano Rosebiani, an award-winning Kurdish movie director who had documented the atrocities in his film "Mass Graves." Rosebiani had lost family members during "Anfal," Hussein's carefully orchestrated campaign of genocide targeting Kurds in northern Iraq from 1986 to 1988.
"When I saw Jano Rosebiani's film, it broke my heart," Maaske said. "I knew this was a story that had to be told, but until now, no one had stepped up to the plate to tell it."
Also important to the story are scenes from "Chemical Ali," a documentary by Kurdish filmmaker Kawa Akrawi, who assisted in the production of "WMD."
At least 182,000 Kurds in Iraq were murdered or are missing and presumed dead. Entire villages were razed. Authorities on Iraq estimate that 1.3 million people have died as a direct result of Hussein's acts of terror since 1979.
The movie includes moments of comic relief and powerful imagery from the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
In the moving conclusion of "WMD," the townspeople of Exeter, Calif., gather on a high school football field for the memorial service of Army Spc. Daniel Unger, killed in action in Iraq.

I just spoke with a few friends of mine in Iraq. I sent his unit 100 DVD's of the WMD Movie. He said he could not describe the emotion, and sense of pride it brought when they watched it.
I suggest every one buys a copy http://www.wmddvd.com and show it to all doubters about the war. You will win them over.
People have to know the truth about Iraq.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Weighing the human and economic toll of going to war against a tyrant in Iraq, a new film answers the question millions of Americans are asking before going to the polls: Has the war been worth it?
That’s the essential question asked in a new documentary film by Brad Maaske, a Central California businessman who hastens to distance himself from “Hollywood types” voicing opinions that he says lack foundation.
Contrary to Moore's claims, this film shows that George Bush was right when he confronted axis of evil member Iraq -- and liberated the Iraqi people using armed force.
Alarmed by the wellspring of criticism of the Iraqi war and the American policies backing it, particularly Michael Moore's recent film blasting President George W. Bush, Maaske sets out to uncover the truth surrounding the war, America’s military engagement, Iraq’s links to global terrorism, and in particular, the under-reported acts of atrocity committed directly by or under the command of Saddam Hussein.
“WMD – The Murderous Reign of Saddam Hussein,” released theatrically in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles on October 8, followed by release in theatres in other major markets and on DVD...
