WMD – The Murderous Reign of Saddam Hussein
(New Documentary film by Fresno Area Realtor!)
Documentary Film: "WMD – The Murderous Reign of Saddam Hussein" ^ | 10/4/2004 | BRAD L. MAASKE, Victor Davis Hanson
Posted on 10/05/2004 2:00:40 PM PDT by Drago
The liberal bias toward the war in Iraq was one thing. Then came a propaganda piece that did more to line the pockets of a radical filmmaker than to tell the truth. That’s when Brad Maaske, a conservative businessman from the agricultural heart of California, decided enough was enough.
It was time for a documentary that told the truth about the human toll and terror under the personally guided regime of Saddam Hussein. WMD: The Murderous Reign of Saddam Hussein offers a balanced view of the real Iraq, before, during and following the military involvement of the United States and its allies. WMD provides an objective report for Americans to consider prior to going to the polls in November.
Co-producer of WMD is Iraqi film director Jano Rosebiani, known most recently for the documentaries, “Mass Graves of Saddam Hussein” and “Chemical Ali.” Never before seen footage of the atrocities perpetrated in Iraq, the chemical attacks and interviews with survivors provide a riveting testimony for the justification of war and military support during reconstruction.
Exclusive interviews and expert analysis of the current geopolitical situation are provided, including an in-depth interview by Victor David Hanson, author of eleven books, including “The Western Way of War”, “An Autumn of War” and “ Between War & Peace.”
Theatrical exhibition in all major markets and a massive DVD release will follow.

MOVIE REVIEW
WMD: THE MURDEROUS REIGN OF SADDAM HUSSEIN
Brad Maaske/Jano Rosebiani
Perhaps the most powerful and emotional film at the recent Liberty Film Festival in West Hollywood, California was WMD: THE MURDEROUS REIGN OF SADDAM HUSSEIN.
Filmmakers Brad Maaske and Kurdish/American Jano Rosebiani have provided the world with long overdue heart-wrenching visual evidence that millions of human beings were living a literal hell on earth. How ironic. Hell in the Cradle of Civilization.
Men, women, and children were beaten, tortured, gassed, imprisoned, and murdered in unspeakable ways. Tens of thousands simply disappeared and were never seen by their families again. Those who survived live with incomprehensible physical and/or mental anguish.
The death of innocents may total as high 1.3 million. While the United Nations supervised the notorious “Oil for Food” program, criminals and thugs made millions of dollars. As many as 3 million children died because of lack of food, medicine, and medical care. The world did not do that. The United States did not do that. Saddam Hussein did that. He kept perhaps $10 billion dollars for himself while letting the children die.
Rosebiani provided footage from Iraq possessed by no other filmmaker in the world. The voiceovers were not even necessary. We could look into people’s eyes and souls and feel what they were saying.
Let the sanctions work? Let the sanctions work? Are you kidding? No one who watches this film will again tolerate those who tell them that the sanctions were working. Sorry, that it ludicrous and insulting.
God bless America and its allies. They are not the coerced or bribed as a particular disingenuous presidential candidate calls them. God bless those dedicated brave men and women who continue to confront evil in Iraq. Bribed and coerced? Not on your life. They are heroes.
There are no finer heroes in the world than the Americans who volunteered, left comfort at home, and risk their lives everyday so that others may enjoy the freedom that too many of us take for granted. They are in both military gear and civilian clothing.
After 12 years and 17 resolutions, Hussein was still playing games with the world. Victor Davis Hanson provided remarkable insight about the United Nations and why it is incapable of solving any of the world’s problems. Their goal appears to be little more than trying to attack, embarrass, and humiliate the United States. China is on the Security Council. Syria and Libya are on particular human rights committees. There is something very wrong with that picture.
Operation Iraqi Freedom indeed shocked and awed the world. In less than three weeks, Baghdad was taken. It was the greatest modern military marvel.
WMD contains a great deal of powerful footage from September 11, 2001. Only a short three years later, far too many Americans seem to have forgotten. They seem not to realize that we are in a world war that will likely continue for a very long time. It is almost painful to watch some of the man on the street interviews in which those who loathe our president are staggeringly ignorant of history and world affairs. For those who refer to our president as a Nazi, I ask you, what word is left for Hitler? What word do you use for the real Nazis?
If anyone did not shed a tear at the end of the film when the story of a soldier named Daniel Unger was told, they are without feelings. Unger was from Maaske’s hometown of Exeter, California. His heroic actions saved Iraqi lives but cost him his own. Unger’s parents are devastated but spoke on camera and exhibited a rare courage and pride for what their son had done. Knowing their son, they would have been shocked if he had been anything other than a hero.
WMD: THE MURDEROUS REIGN OF SADDAM HUSSEIN must be seen by those who question why we went to war in Iraq. It might not change the minds of the most rabid Bush haters who are filled with hate because of their political agenda, but it will change the hearts and minds of those who have hearts and minds.

New movie supports Iraq invasion
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | Monday, October 11, 2004
Posted on 10/11/2004 1:05:21 AM PDT by JohnHuang2
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.

This is not a popcorn movie.
Thanks, RonDog. Wish I was closer because I'd love to see this one myself!
Punching at the body politic: Movies screens reeling to left and right
[pro- & anti-Michael Moore]

Punching at the body politic: Movies screens reeling to left and right
By Bob Tremblay
Sunday, October 10, 2004Judging from the recent onslaught of documentaries that have been highly critical of the current administration and the war in Iraq, one could easily assume that President George W. Bush has been a disaster of Titanic proportions whose popularity has sunk to the depths of the Marianas trench.
But the last time this scribe checked, Bush enjoys the strong support of a very large segment of Americans. What's going on here? Are these films part of a vast left-wing conspiracy generated by that Sodom and Gomorrah of cinema known as Hollywood?
Regardless of your political affiliation, the sheer number of left-leaning films in such a short period of time during an election year does give the impression that perhaps the president has rubbed a few people the wrong way. One could even make the rash assumption that the intent of these films is to make sure Bush doesn't return to the White House for four more years.
That certainly is the case with the first of these films to reach theaters, the incendiary "Fahrenheit 9/11." Reviled by the right as pure propaganda and praised by the left as insightful, the film launches a full-scale attack on the Bush presidency, casting doubt on his 2000 election, questioning his association with the Saudis and blasting him for the war on Iraq.
Directed with all the subtlety of a guillotine by right-wing pinata Michael Moore, the film has been a box-office hit even as critics have taken Moore to task for playing fast and loose with the truth. Certainly his portrayal of a happy-go-lucky Iraq under Saddam Hussein should be appalling to people of all political persuasions. That said, the scene where Bush continues reading to schoolchildren as the country comes under attack during 9/11 is clearly not the president's finest hour -- or seven minutes.
In reaction to the film, World Ahead Publishing, publisher of "Thank You, President Bush: Reflections on the War on Terror, Defense of the Family and the Revival of the Economy," recently announced its "Fahrenheit 9/11" DVD Buy-Back program.
"In urban areas, city leaders periodically sponsor gun 'buy-back' programs to help reduce gun violence. Similarly, the "Fahrenheit 9/11" DVD Buy-Back program is designed to protect Americans from harm, especially young children who might accidentally slip this dangerous propaganda into the living room DVD player," according a World Ahead press release.
With "Fahrenheit 9/11" now on sale, the publisher is offering buyers of the DVD the opportunity to exchange their copies for "Thank You, Mr. President" with no questions asked. The book is the inaugural publication for the California-based publisher.
"Moore's work isn't a documentary. It's a dangerous weapon that shouldn't be left lying around the house," says Aman Verjee, co-editor of the anthology. "Send us Moore's lies and we'll give you the truth on President Bush's record and policies. We want to give people who unsuspectingly buy Moore's propaganda a chance to trade it in for a book that's positive and insightful. This book sets the record straight: George W. Bush deserves more than another term in office; he deserves our gratitude..."
Moore is a Massive Weapon of Destruction.

One of the creators of this is a local guy here, and he has worked his heart out on this. It is going to be very hard hitting, and hopefully seen by American's everywhere. It is the real thing. I posted about it last week hoping freepers will support this. This is actual footage taken by Saddam's flunky's of torture, murder, etc. It will prove that we were right to remove this evil slime.
Thank so much for posting this Ron, I didn't know how to do it like this! I am so happy to see this here!
