Don't agree with Bruce's statement about America being isolationist, but overall he does an admirable job in support of the troops.

Please do not alter the titles. If you use the original title, it saves someone else fixing it for you in order to avoid duplicate threads. Thanks.

Bruce Willis told Cosby he would offer one million dollars to any civilian who would turn in Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri or Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Bruce Willis is one of the few Republicans in Hollywood who isn't afraid to speak up.

Yes, folks. There are Republicans in Hollywood. You'll know them, because they're the only sane ones.

His movies are usually good, too.

I don't mind supporting a film that he's in.

(He's also from this neck of the woods - New Jersey - and he likes to play in movies based in Philly - like Sixth Sense and 12 Monkeys). So, this part of the country can't be all that bad if it's produced Bruce. ;-)

That would be awesome to see him in a Deuce Four movie. Hope he can get that picked up in Hollyweird.

If Willis can pull off this film and uses Michaels tons of real time video that includes LTC Erik Kurilla, who Willis would most probably play in the movie, being shot up by a goon in an alleyway in Mosul, this film would be or could be on par with what the Fallujah film could be if done right.

Americans who would see these two films would walk out of the theators with a totally deeper feeling for our brave men and women who have fought so valantly in Afghanistan and Iraq.
As many here are aware, another person shall shortly be going to Iraq to embed with our Marines in Al Anbar, being Bill Roggio from the Fourth Rail. He is sacrificing a lot, being a husband and father, and taking leave of his job to get over there and continue all the good and ACCURATE reporting Michael Yon has done.
I hope someone like Bruce Willis can help him out with his remaining fiancial burden to undertake this assignment.

I think he is right about alot os american people want to bury there heads in thesand and wait for it to go away. Alot like they did with Hitler until Pearl Harbor. I would say 9/11 was the same thing for President Bush and his supporters. It has never been WMD's for me, I see the big picture.

Maybe he was taking a indirect jab at the Hollywood Liberal Elitists who don't know what they are talking about on the war on terror, and have not even bothered to go there to see themselves and see the good work that is being done in Iraq.

I don't know who is talking to or influencing Bruce Willis, but, he said he was " Baffled " at why most Americans are not getting the true and full news on the good work the USA and our troops are doing in Iraq, shouldn't it be obvious why ?

BRUCE ? it's the LIBERAL MAIN STREAM MEDIA and the DEMOCRATS is the reason why are war effort is being hampered and Americans are not getting the full story.

I just once, wish that Bruce Willis would come here on FreeRepubic and chat with us.

Bruce ? it's the MSM that is at fault in why Americans are being mis informed, and dis informed.

Can someone get Bruce Willis on here on FreeRepubic, we will tell him why Americans are not getting the full and true story about Iraq, and our troops in IRAQ.

Bruce ? Your a good American, and we thank you for supporting our troops.

"isolationist"??

International trade. Our soldiers deployed throughout the globe to bring stability and liberty to other countries, and we're isolationists?

Mr. Willis is mistaken on this point, but I appreciate his public and outspoken support for our troops, and his conservative leanings.

"would offer"?

Come on Bruce, I've been sitting on these guys for over a year and they're eating me out of house and home. Flash the cash.

Don't agree with Bruce's statement about America being isolationist....

I agree. I hope he meant to say unilateral as in we are forced to do these things by ourselves without the help of other nations.

Or, maybe, in the context of the question (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?) he meant Hollyweird.

One of Michael Yon's most heartbreaking blogs.

http://michaelyon.blogspot.com/

Major Mark Bieger found this little girl after the car bomb that attacked our guys while kids were crowding around. The soldiers here have been angry and sad for two days. They are angry because the terrorists could just as easily have waited a block or two and attacked the patrol away from the kids. Instead, the suicide bomber drove his car and hit the Stryker when about twenty children were jumping up and down and waving at the soldiers.

Major Bieger, I had seen him help rescue some of our guys a week earlier during another big attack, took some of our soldiers and rushed this little girl to our hospital. He wanted her to have American surgeons and not to go to the Iraqi hospital. She didn't make it. I snapped this picture when Major Bieger ran to take her away. He kept stopping to talk with her and hug her.

The soldiers went back to that neighborhood the next day to ask what they could do. The people were very warming and welcomed us into their homes, and many kids were actually running up to say hello and to ask soldiers to shake hands.

Eventually, some insurgents must have realized we were back and started shooting at us. The American soldiers and Iraqi police started engaging the enemy and there was a running gun battle. I saw at least one IP who was shot, but he looked okay and actually smiled at me despite the big bullet hole in his leg. I smiled back.

One thing seems certain; the people in that neighborhood share our feelings about the terrorists. We are going to go back there, and if any terrorists come out, the soldiers hope to find them. Everybody is still very angry that the insurgents attacked us when the kids were around. Their day will come....
