Michael Moore Lawsuit

"Due to many meetings and holiday travel, I am still working on pieces about the incredible U.S. soldiers who took me on some dangerous missions in December. Also, my trip with Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, harvested important information. I can say this about Gates, as someone who will spend a lot of time on the battlefields this year, I am very happy that both President Bush and President-Elect Obama tapped Gates on the shoulder. Gates is a winner who is watching out for our service members as well as the United States. I also had a long and important meeting with General (ret.) Barry McCaffrey. His trip reports from Iraq and Afghanistan have been brutally honest. I have great respect for this American warrior. I had other important meetings in Washington with thought leaders such as David Kilcullen, Ph.D., and I met with Fred Kagan, Ph.D., in Bahrain. I saw Fred Kagan on an elevator and immediately asked for a meeting, which proved valuable to me. Over the past few weeks I’ve also talked with very high-ranking U.S. officers about Iraq and Afghanistan. My confidence on Iraq continues to grow. Still, there is much concern about Afghanistan-Pakistan."
