"I feel a strange kinship with Michael," Mr. Gibson said. "They're trying to pit us against each other in the press, but it's a hologram. They really have got nothing to do with one another. It's just some kind of device, some left-right. He makes some salient points. There was some very expert, elliptical editing going on. However, what the hell are we doing in Iraq? No one can explain to me in a reasonable manner that I can accept why we're there, why we went there, and why we're still there."

What a nice way to thank all those Conservatives who supported your film Mel.

This has already been discussed on two threads. Also, not every conservative is for the war in Iraq.

This "kinship" was also costly to conservative principles.

Buh-bye, Mel. You and your movie crap are off my watch list.

You must not be willing to understand then, Mel. Might as well move on to things you can accept, like rising from the dead.

It was always about the bottom line and if you had any doubt you must have realized when he was selling souvenir nails that something was amiss.

Ugh - goatees. When I see a girlie man with a goatee, it makes me want to get out the razor and take the whole chin off.

Mel Gibson is absolutely right about Iraq.

As an antiwar, anti-Bush voter who was deeply moved by the The Passion Of Christ, I say, "Way to go, Mel!"
