0 we are adding stow away roaches. we have the story of a greyhound bus infested with with bugs. i wasn't there. maybe infested is too strong a year. >> when i say infested, i mean infested. >> okay. infested then. here's what happened. according to passengers who spoke to our affiliate wabc, shortly after the trip began roaches showed up pretty much everywhere. >> sat down. roaches started crawling on our clothes, falling out of the ceiling, everything. >> we are already at the part of the trip where i would pull the emergency brake and call wolf blitzer to pick me up. he's used to sketchy phone calls from new york city. unfortunately for passengers, things only got worse. >> e with thought it was one. it turned tout to be a houseful of roaches. >> i was in the front. i saw people panicking and after a while the panic got to the back. we looked around and saw roaches crawling everywhere. >> i'm b about to throw up. you have no idea. roaches on a bus? kardashians in an elevator, my length of fears is lengthy. i attempted to conquer my fear of roaches as you can see in this old file footage. how i miss the days when my hair was more pepper than salt. unfortunately the roaches and i could not reach an agreement. >> are you willing to put your hand inside the container? >> um -- yeah -- no. i don't think so. >> yeah. didn't go well. i'm a mess when it comes to creepy crawly things. do y know anyone who's afraid of a millipede? you do now. >> just stroke it. >> i don't like being afraid of anything. >> give it a hold. >> that's it. i'm done. >> i'm sorry. they're gross. keep them away from me. by the way, we don't have close-ups of the roaches from atlantic city but i'm guessing they look like this give or take a few poker chips. this is a bad idea but let's hear more about what happened on the roach bus. >> the man had roaches on his coat. the lady had a roach on her hat. it was just terrible. >> people were in the aisles brushing roaches off of them. >> i can't. i mean, really. we should point out greyhound says the driver pulled over and radioed for stance. a new bus picked up the passengers who were given refunds. we all know how these situations end up. >> enough is enough! i have had it with these [ bleep ] snakes on this [ bleep ] plane! >> that's a classic. consider yourself warned, roaches. you got off easy. next time it could be worse than getting squashed on the ridiculist. we'll see you at 10:00 p.m. eastern for another edition of "360." tonight an hour with michael moore. my interview with the director from "bowling for cleanolumbined "fahrenheit 9/11". >> guns don't kill people. americans kill people. >> the right to bear arms. >> if the founding fathers could have looked into a crystal ball and seen ak-47s and glock semi-automatic pistols i think they would say, you know, that's not what we mean when we say bear arms. >> reporter: why in the wake of a tragedy at newtown he's changed his mind about this. >> i'm not coming on at&t damn tv show eitherer after the next shooting, piers. this is piers morgan live. i'm here with michael moore. we have a lot to talk about. he's a passionate advocate of gun control. he has strong feelings and harry reid proposed to drop a ban on semi-automatic weapons. meanwhile breaking news in syria. chemical weapons in the passive civil war. this as president obama is on his way to the region tonight on his first visit to israel and the west bank since he became president and as 55 people were killed and more than 200 wounded in battle scenes all over iraq on the 10th anniversary of shock and awe. i want to bring in at the start of this from cnn, life in iraq, arwa damon. another terrible day in baghdad. the anniversary of george bush's announcement that america was at war with iraq. 55 people killed. more than 200 wounded. very hard to see that there is anything but chronic instability and continued hideous bloodshed there. what is your take? >> it's such a tragedy really the way things have unfolded in iraq. just looking at iraqi faces, seeing how pale they had become. we are hearing after one attack after another. people's voices actually began trembling. this is violence that, first of all, the iraqis never even imagined would end up being the outcome of america's war in iraq. so many of them hoped and dreamed they would have true freedom, democracy, that their horizons would be open. they have dealt with everything, all of the violence that wrecked this country over the past ten years. to be reminded of it again on the tenth anniversary shocked people and completely and totally devastated them, piers. >> it comes of course as the crisis in syria reaches what could be a tipping point where there are reports that president assad, although still unconfirmed and his people are saying, no, no, it was the rebels. it looks more likely to have been assad's forces used chemical weapons, killing 16 people, wounding scores more. how significant is this, do you think? >> reporter: well, first of all, it needs to be substantiated if the chemical weapons were, in fact, used. there is conflicting information. the regime is accusing the rebels of firing the weapons. the rebels say that's impossible, we do not have that kind of weaponry at our disposal. but military analysts do believe syria as one of the largest stock piles of chemical weapons in the world and the chairman of the house intelligence committee, mike rogers, saying there is a high probability that the assad regime has used chemical weaponry but they are awaiting final verification. bearing in mind there have been allegations in the past that chemical weapons were used in syria and holmes for example late last year. those allegations were never substantiated. the white house has been saying something of a red line, a game changer when it comes to syria. when i was last there in december in aleppo, doctors working with the rebels were actually trying to design their own chemical suits and masks because they had nothing with which they could protect themselves. so the opposition does believe that if pushed into a corner the assad regime would certainly resort to that kind of weaponry. at this point in time it has not been completely verified that the chemical weapons were used. >> thank you very much, indeed. michael, let's turn to this first off about what's happening in syria. it is almost déjà vu, isn't it? you have a bad guy, a dictator who may have unleashed chemical weapons. if it is verified that he has, and clearly with saddam hussein although he had in the past when push came to shove he didn't have chemical weapons. if p assad has got them and used them against the rebels, what's a proportionate reaction from america? >> let's put it in context. the chemical weapons that saddam hussein used on the kurds were given to him by us. he was our ally. we funded him. we armed him. we helped him with an eight-year war against iran. the weapons of mass destruction which the weapons inspectors knew weren't there. everybody knew they weren't there. the weapons we had given him in the past, we never talk about those. we never talk about how we are the ones who helped these dictators around the world. as far as assad and syria goes, you know, i think as americans now when we're told anything, somebody comes on and says there are report that is maybe this, maybe ta. we have to have the most skeptical, critical eye and err to what we are being told. >> that's my problem with it. here we go again. we were told saddam had chemical weapons and was about to use them. now we're told assad has. many say this is a pretext for going in and going into some kind of advanced war with assad. >> yes. >> how do we know who to believe here? >> well, you start by not believing the people who lied to you before. the american government lied to its own people. honestly, i don't know of a worse lie one could tell other than a lie to take a country to war. to make up things to take people to war. that's got to be the most obscene, immoral thing to do. so this government hasn't earned the right to be trusted. if it says assad has chemical weapons or ahmadinejad has a nuclear weapon -- >> but it's not this government, is it, that went to war with saddam. >> which government? you're talking about obama versus bush? >> yes. >> i'm talking about the real government. wall street, the banks, people who made $2.2 trillion we spent on the iraq war. who made the money? soldiers in the field? i don't think so. this is always about the people who have the purse strings and the politicians bought by them. if they come on now and tell me anything about ahmadinejad is building a bomb. really? i'll believe it when he walks in the room with it and shows me. that's how much i don't trust anything said by the military industrial complex of this great country. >> when you see what happens just today in baghdad, 55 people killed and i think 17 different bombings. two other assassinations took place. 200-plus people wounded. that's a typical day in baghdad over the last few years. >> that's right. >> this is not peace. this is not democracy. this is not freedom. >> right. >> what is it? >> what it is is first of all we set this thing up to where we supported the shiites and the sunnis are now -- there is going to be a version of a civil war. right now, as we speak here live on cnn there is an alternate reality on another network. they are over there today saying how great it is. iraq's free. >> you mean fox. >> yes. i don't really want to, you know, disparage. >> let me read this tweet from donald rumsfeld. the iraqis deserve our respect and appreciation. >> he's a war criminal as far as i'm concerned. yor i don't understand why he, bush, cheney are walking the streets. the way they are trying to revise history saying it was a mistake or we were given bad information. say nobody sent me an e-mail or a tweet that said goldman sachs downtown right now in their basement they havethey are hold them there. i tell the police this. what will happen to me when they go down to goldman sachs and find no kids many n the basement? of course, you would think i would want to go after goldman sachs as bush wanted to go after saddam. but i think i would be arrested if i produced false information. to say it's a mistake, you know, if somebody ran over your 4-year-old, they get out and go, i'm sorry. misnation's capittak mistake. >> i heard tony prescott was told the same thing. we are taking british troops to war. it was a false pretext. i heard him saying i changed my mind. it was a mistake. it's a bit late, isn't it? >> yeah. >> tony blair is standing by what he did. george bush stands by. to say, we got it wrong. if you get a war wrong what are the repercussions. >> unless there are repercussions. unless we take blair, bush, cheney and these guys to task right now still. if this doesn't happen what's the message to future prime ministers and presidents. wow, those guys got away with that. that was a bunch of malarkey. how did they get away with that? i think -- >> it's depressing in iraq. you look at it and see the kurds in the north have their own seceded country in a way. they have their own passports now, i'm told. they are distinct from iraq. you have the sshiyas afforded p. they removed all infrastructure. i read a piece by fareed today about the difference between what happened in in iraq and what mandela did in south africa. rather than getting rid of all the other people in power he kept most of them in place. he brought them inclusively into his new south africa. as a result there was no insurgency. >> we did it with the germans. >> america and others did the opposite. they dismantled all the infrastructure. >> right. >> everything was removed. that's what created this vacuum that created the insurgency from sunnis who went, okay, if that's the way you are going to treat us, we are going to be insurgents. >> we had crazy people in charge. they installed not bright people to be in charge of iraq. people with no training, no military training. didn't know anything about anything. these were people calling the shots. ten years ago tonight in this hour that we are sitting in at 9:42 p.m. eastern time, the bombing started. the fact that no one has paid for this criminal act, why would an american such as george w. bush send thousands of americans off to their deaths? for what reason? and why doesn't he have to answer for that? i just -- you know, look, i said this back then. i took a lot of hit for it. everybody told me there were going to be weapons of mass destruction. a lot of people said things at work, at school. people watching the show will remember. they were ostracized. >> yeah. >> you couldn't say anything. the dixie chicks lost their career. they were finished. other people lost b jobs. >> mess. >> yeah. because we were told at that time in a democracy we are not allowed to dissent. we are not allowed to ask questions. today learned from vietnam in the previouser w wars don't put images on the screen. don't let them see coffins coming home. let's get our media embedded. >> let's end the segment with the results of the cnn poll about iraq. they were asked would you say the initial decision to send u.s. troops to iraq was a smart or dumb thing to do. americans replied 59% dumb, 38% smart. was iraq a mistake? yes, 56%. so on and so on. did the bush administration mislead the u.s. public, yes, 54%. >> that's why this is a great country. the majority of americans got it together. the majority of americans are never listened to. we'll talk about guns in a few minutes, i guess. >> we'll take a break. >> no one is being listened to. >> this brings me to guns. there is so much going on not the least of which harry reid saying forget about the assault weapons ban. we'll talk about it after the break. i'm sure you are as angry as i am. >> what a weinie. both tylenol and bayer advanced aspirin
