Michael Moore rips Obama over Libya By Jordan Fabian - 03/19/11 06:41 PM ET
Anti-war filmmaker Michael Moore tore into President Obama for taking military action in Libya on Saturday.
Moore, a frequent critic of President Bush for launching the Iraq War, unleashed a string on tweets comparing the U.S. military's mission in Libya to Iraq and Afghanistan, using a mantra coined by Charlie Sheen:
It's only cause we're defending the Libyan people from a tyrant! That's why we bombed the Saudis last wk! Hahaha. Pentagon=comedy
And we always follow the French's lead! Next thing you know, we'll have free health care & free college! Yay war!
We've had a "no-fly zone" over Afghanistan for over 9 yrs. How's that going? #WINNING !
Khadaffy must've planned 9/11! #excuses
Khadaffy must've had WMD! #excusesthatwork
Khadaffy must've threatened to kill somebody's daddy! #daddywantedjeb
Moore also suggested that Obama should return the Nobel Peace Prize he won in 2009:
May I suggest a 50-mile evacuation zone around Obama's Nobel Peace Prize? #returnspolicy
Moore's comments came after the U.S. launched 110 Tomahawk missiles at military targets in Libya as part of an allied effort to prevent forces loyal to Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi from overtaking the rebel-held city of Benghazi.
The strikes on Libya began on the eighth anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq War.
Obama explained Saturday the U.S. and its allies acted to protect the Libyan people from a potential massacre.
"Make no mistake, today we are part of a broad coalition," the president said. "We are answering the calls of a threatened people, and we are acting in the interest of the United States and the world."
The Michigan native and prominent left-wing activist supported Obama during the 2008 Democratic primary race. But since then, he has criticized the president for escalating the conflict in Afghanistan.
Moore penned an open letter to Obama in 2009 on the eve of his decision to send an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan, warning him not to do it.
"If you go to West Point tomorrow night and announce that you are increasing, rather than withdrawing, the troops in Afghanistan, you are the new war president," he wrote to Obama. "Pure and simple. And with that you will do the worst possible thing you could do -- destroy the hopes and dreams so many millions have placed in you."
First Louie now Fatboy...
He’s just going on record as having opposed but he’ll be back in Lansing screaming about nazipublicans soon enough.
Anyone whose hopes and dreams for Obama have not already been destroyed is a slow learner and cannot be harmed by whatever else Obama might do while he is pretending to lead the free world, whether from the golf course or from his various vacation resorts.
The last thing Moore ripped into was a dozen hot pockets last night!
All the lefties are crushed their annointed one is a bumbling idiot. It would be comic if it wasn’t so tragic for our nation.
Poor poor BHO - he’s really pissing off his base now.
Michael Moore. He’s had enough popcorn for all of us. LOL. I can’t believe anyone listens to him seriously, but unfortunately - some do! (like my stupid liberal sister)
This may be the first time I’ve ever complimented the fat socialist weasel, but at least he’s consistent.
AAaaaauuugggghhhh!!!! You know he's lying when he says "make no mistake."
I suppose it's supposed to sound like he's in charge... instead, it just makes him sound like a poseur.
Well that explains the hot pocket shortage in Michigan.
He's consistent alright. I'll bet he campaigns for Obama in '12, just like he did in '08.
I watched cnn and pms what hyos they are all pro war mongers now. The msm is like a kitten chasing a flashlight. They cannot focus on any one thing.
Up is down. In is out. War is peace.
Welcome to Bizarro world.
Nobel Peace Prize recipient nobama attacks a sovereign country destroying their property, killing their people and contributes to their agonies. Is nobama a war criminal (as well as biden and h clintoon)?????
“Get in my belly, I’m higher up in the food chain than you are.”
They will all be back on the plantation for 2012...who else are they going to vote for? Sarah Palin? LOL!
hehehehehehe
Obama will screw ANYONE over. I doubt there’s a colder fish anywhere in the country.
