[Sosfbay-discuss] Michael Moore: Begging Obama on Afghanistan

[Brian Good]

  Obama has been the new War President since his third day in office when his 
Hellfire strikes from the Predators violated the sovereignty of a nation that was
no military threat to us and killed a dozen civilians in Pakistan.  

  In doing so he declared his contempt for international law and made his bones
as a gangster.  US media such as WaPo have told us that it was OK to do this
because we had a secret agreement with the Pakistani government and its 
protests were phony.  This is very poor precedent even if it's true because
there's an obvious potential for abuse of the claim of secret agreements 
between the sole superpower and a third-world state--particularly when the
superpower's media have a history of excessive credulity with respect to
government claims.

Michael Moore: Begging Obama on Afghanistan


by Alex Walker







In 2004, Michael Moore and Bill Maher got on their knees on national
television to beg Ralph Nader not to run for president again. Six years
later, Mr. Moore is begging Democratic President Barack Obama *NOT* to
escalate the war in Afghanistan. Behold the difference between
Republicans and Democrats -- when Democrats are in power we get to beg
on our knees facing the White House.












Do you really want to be the new "war president"? If you go
to West Point tomorrow night (Tuesday, 8pm) and announce that you are
increasing, rather than withdrawing, the troops in Afghanistan, you are
the new war president. ...





Michael Mooere's "Open Letter to President Obama"
is a good letter. It is also a sad letter. It is sad that in 2010 after
eight years of war that such a letter is even necessary. . .
