After all of Hollywood's Iraq movies have flopped (even the Oscar-garlanded "The Hurt Locker" earned only $15 million at the box office), one studio thinks it has the following secret to success: The previous films didn't insult the United States enough.

"Green Zone," opening Friday, is a $100 million slime job that conjures up a fantastically distorted leftist version of the war and wraps it around a frantic but preposterous action picture. (Spoilers about the plot follow.)

Matt Damon plays Miller, an Army "chief" (chief warrant officer) assigned to searching for weapons of mass destruction in Baghdad in the opening days of the war in 2003.

Leftist punk.

I thought we found about 200 tons of yellowcake uranium in Iraq, and towards the end of Dubya's administration it was transported quietly to Canada. I know the major media outlets downplayed it, but I'm pretty sure that happened.

Nope. It was more like 500 tons. :-)

Looks like GE’s movies are as good as their refrigerators. Seriously, ours is top-o-the-line stainless steel and it can’t even keep a constant temperature. The ice machine won’t dispense ice, but I can’t decide if that’s because the ice melts into a solid block once a week, or if the screw dispenser doesn’t turn.

I’ll never buy GE again.
