I was reading the comments.

Regardless of what you think of Woody's statements, most commenting are semi-retarded.

It's seldom good to see a celeb speaking out because most are retarded and people just assume they are wrong, as they often are.

Woody is a different story and seems to try to use his brain.

Whether this story is true, I have no idea, but it makes more sense than the garbage we are fed by American politicians and the American MSM about protecting Americans from terrorism.

[phemohilia]

Wasn't Woody's dad somehow connected to the JFK assassination?

[pureheart]

I think I just became a Woody Harrelson fan. :D

[pureheart]

I can't believe some of the comments...

"I suppose that woodenhead is smoking too much weed to remember that 3000 of our fellow citizens were murdered by a group of terrorists that live, train, and recruit in Afganistan. And that our brave military is in there to prevent something similar from happening again.

Woodenhead sounds like one of those know-it-alls that reside in every bar, that spout out rediculous conspiracy threories. The Carter comment, says all one needs to know about the crappy actor that he is.

Facts are like kryptonite to the liberal."

Clearly the American government does represent the views of some of it's (moronic) people.

[pureheart]

And there's more....

"Harrelson is another one of the liberals that has his head stuck where the sun don't shine and we aren't talking about the sand here. He doesn't have a clue.

Remember folks, Freedom isn't Free. It was bought with the blood and sacrifice of the men and women who are serving and who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

For those who fought for it, Freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know.

Also remember folks, that the way to SUPPORT THE TROOPS is to support their mission. Anyone who says that they support the troops but don't support their mission is lying about supporting the troops. And if you want to know, yes I do have a dog in the fight, he is a United States Marine. "


I'd like to know exactly how you become 'free' by invading other countries and murdering innocent civilians in order to further your own financial interests.

Or more likely they know how to hire shills that parrot their pathetic stories while pretending to be "average" Americans.

So many Americans are waking up I don't believe the majority would agree with this nitwit of a poster's comments.

Harrelson is voicing what many now understand --- the government has lied and is corrupt.

A year ago polls showed more than 85% of Americans believe the government is lying about 9-11.

Most Americans voted for Obama because he claimed he'd end the wars. Neither Iraq nor Afghanistan are wars most Americans want.

Tides are turning, TPTB know it, and the shill patrols are out in force.

I love the way this person refers to their loved one as a dog! thinking the exact same way as the elite do about humans, as an animal.

Woody understands that Republicans are corrupt. He has not yet figured out that the Democrats are also corrupt.

[my_lady rachel]

An estimated 90% of heroin is trafficked out of Afghanistan, where illegal drug production has reportedly risen 44 times since 2001. Which is a rather large means of support to finance more terrorism ...

Woody understands that Republicans are corrupt. He has not yet figured out that the Democrats are also corrupt.

That's only cause he's a big supporter of Islam HERE ...
