Dollard Updates

From time to time I've written about Pat Dollard, the former Hollywood agent turned outspoken Iraqi War documentary filmmaker and IED magnet. He has a new site design up, and it is quite improved over his old site. Check it out.

While you're there, make sure you drink in the Youtube video he found, where a Iraqi cleric thanks America for invading Iraq and daring to try to fix an Arab culture that has been broken for 1,400 years (his words). He compares the existing Arab culture to slavery repeatedly, and says that our attempt to give Iraq a democracy is the best thing that has ever happened in the region.

Don't look for CNN, ABC, CBS, or AP to share this video.

Pat was recently on Greg Gutfeld's new show on Fox News called Red-Eye. An excerpt of the interview was on Hot Air over the weekend, talking about media coverage of the war and the "bravery" of George Clooney.

The full 14 minute, 4 second segment was on Google Video, but doesn't presently appear to be working. Hopefully it will be up and running later today.

Pat's war documentary Young Americans will hopefully soon be released as a series soon, once he landsa distributor. He tells me hes just watched the two-hour pilot episode and knows what edits he would like to make, and should hopefully have it complete soon.

If you want a taste, he has five video clips posted here.

CONTENT WARNING: The Marines in this video drop F-bombs like they were trying out to be John Edwards campaign bloggers, and his choice of music is hardcore punk liberally sprinkled with the same kind of language. As you might also expect, some combat footage is also not for the sqeamish. You might want to save this until you get home, and the kids are off to bed. If you want one words to describe the footage Dollard collected in Iraq, "raw" describes it best.
