#1 I hope the Iraqi people remember the Hollywood 101 who were willing to let the Iraqi people suffer in order to get partisan jabs at President Bush.

#4 Headline Should Read:
U.S. Deploys 1st Airborne Celebrity Division To Iraq as "camera inspectors".

The star-studded airborne division, based at Hollywood AFB deployed to suburban Bagdhad using resources borrowed from 'fellow travelers'. The 1st Airborne "Jackasses" as they are known by their actual fighting bretheren in the 82nd ("All-Americans") and the 101st("Screaming Eagles"), landed in Iraq in search of badly needed "face time". According to 1st Sgt. Tim Robbins: "face time,is just as important in the media war as gunpowder is in actual real war".

The 1st ACD is made up of many stars of marginal quality, and more than a few of Mike Ovitz's old clients. Here is just a few of the well meaning, limelight addicted, heroin swaddled idiots who make up the ranks of the 1st ACD:

Tim Robbins ( marginal star, his greatest role seems to be as "man most likely to sleep with Susan Sarandon today")

Susan Sarandon ( marginal star, cant seem to get enough scripts to bash america these days)

Sean Penn ( marginal star, his portrayal of a middle aged retarded man in the film "I AM SAM" was lauded by critics until it was discovered that mr. penn was, in point of fact, not acting during the role.

Mike Farrell (marginal star, works mostly as a spokesman for phildelphia cop killers these days)

Martin Sheen ( marginal star, known for his desire to be arrested in all 50 states before the age of 70,and the ability to spawn movie stars of even less ability then himself.

#5 Has Sean had his picture taken sitting on one of the AA guns yet? Your Hollywood types seem to like that...

#6 Why don't any Iraqi actors come to the USA to speak out about Saddam? Oh yea, Saddam had them all shot.

Nice of Sean Penn to stand up for a modern day Hitler though.

#8 Penn is just another Saddam shill, but it's interesting how many Hollywood types, including many of the signatories to "Not in My Name" and "Win Without War" petitions have had very little compunction about playing war heroes, federal agents, and U.S. spies when the price was right. One wonders where their "principles" were when they took on these roles:

Sean Penn: Played an American soldier on Guadalcanal in "The Thin Red Line."

Alec Baldwin: Played Jimmy Doolittle in "Pearl Harbor" and Jack Ryan, CIA Analyst, in the "Hunt for Red October."

Woody Harrelson: Played a heroic soldier in "The Thin Red Line."

Gillian Anderson: Played an FBI agent on the "X-Files"

Don Cheadle: Played an FBI agent in "Swordfish" and a DEA agent in "Traffic"

Matt Damon: Played Private Ryan, in "Saving Private Ryan" and a spy in "The Bourne Identity"

David Duchovny: Played an FBI agent on the "X-Files"

Mike Farrell: Played an Army doctor on "M.A.S.H."

Larry Gelbart: Primary writer on "M.A.S.H

Samuel L. Jackson: Played a super-patriot secret agent in "XXX"

Martin Sheen: Played an American officer in "Apocalypse Now"

Loretta Swit: Played an Army Nurse on "M.A.S.H"

James Whitmore: Played Harry Truman in "Give 'em Hell, Harry" and in the cast of "Above and Beyond" about the crew that bombed Hiroshima.

Dennis Weaver: Played a Naval officer in "The Gallant Hours."

#9 BBC gave this idiot some air time this Sunday as if he and his ilk were the majority opinion in the USA. What more can you expect from people who spend their lives pretending to be someone they are not or in the case of the list of roles people they could never be.
