ANGERED by negative portrayals of the conflict in Iraq

[darrels joy]

ANGERED by negative portrayals of the conflict in Iraq, Bruce Willis, the Hollywood star, is to make a pro-war film in which American soldiers will be depicted as brave fighters for freedom and democracy.

It will be based on the exploits of the heavily decorated members of Deuce Four, the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry, which has spent the past year battling insurgents in the northern Iraqi town of Mosul.

?I am baffled to understand why the things I saw happening in Iraq are not being reported,? he told MSNBC, the American news channel.

He is expected to base the film on the writings of the independent blogger Michael Yon, a former special forces green beret who was embedded with Deuce Four and sent regular dispatches about their heroics.

Yon was at the soldiers? ball with Willis, who got to know him through his internet war reports on www.michaelyon.blogspot.com. ?What he is doing is something the American media and maybe the world media isn?t doing,? the actor said, ?and that?s telling the truth about what?s happening in the war in Iraq.?
