The anti-war left is turning on the president it helped put into office, launching a counteroffensive against President Obama's decision to escalate the war in Afghanistan.
Activist groups are joining liberal members of Congress in condemning the president's expected announcement on Tuesday that he will order roughly 30,000 more troops to the war zone as part of an overhauled strategy to finish what President Bush started eight years ago. Some are urging him not to go through with it -- though the strategy apparently is set in stone, with Obama having issued his final orders to his generals Sunday evening.
"I simply can't believe you're about to do what they say you are going to do," documentary filmmaker Michael Moore said in an open letter to Obama posted on his Web site. Moore warned that Obama would tarnish his legacy, turn away his supporters and effectively crown himself the new "war president" by escalating the war in Afghanistan.
"With just one speech tomorrow night you will turn a multitude of young people who were the backbone of your campaign into disillusioned cynics," Moore wrote. "Your potential decision to expand the war ... will do more to set your legacy in stone than any of the great things you've said and done in your first year.
"For the sake of your presidency, hope, and the future of our nation, stop. For God's sake, stop," Moore wrote.

I can never be certain a Democrat, regardless who it is, is "baited" by the quisling mediots, or led.
No matter, we can still be friends because we are. ;^)
"They smell blood, and Pelosi is too rich a target, with no real republican targets (out of power.) The media loves to get her talking, she ran to China to avoid them"
From YOUR lips, to God's ears. :^)
OTOH I've been studying, tracking the quisling mediots for an awful long time. Learned long ago the buggers cannot be trusted in anything they say, show to us or in any other part of their testimony sols.
Old habits my friend are damned hard to break. LOL
"You are thinking 2007-2008 where she got away with everything, but republicans loss ended that."
I *think* I was just called an old goat. LOL ;^)
I'll go along with you on this solely because I want to believe. :^)
A monster with paint shop graphics, too. ;^)
Man, ain’t we colorful!
I can see this 100 feet away!
LOL
The brain is dead........call the county coroner.
I’ve read that allegedly Obama doesn’t care if he himself loses in 2012 so long as he can enact a couple far-left schemes like socialized healhcare to permanently screw the county.
Saw it once before, the other good time. 1992 was Clinton/Gore worshiped on covers of Time, Newsweek, USN+R as heros. By late 1993 they were talking about Dems problems. By 1994 they were talking about Dems failures. It's not trust it's nature. They have to have someone to build up and someone to break down. I admit they will always go easy on Obama. But there is no other food out there now but democrats. And Pelosi is a big target. I have seen their lust in bating her more than once.
MSM will never be FNC, but it will drift from worship to “What is going wrong?”
Pelosi Gets The Jail Question!(Jail time or Pelosi-care, the right to choose)
I love Pelosi. She was a pain 2006-2008 but now she is gold for us. She is to us what GWB was to dems, gold.
