Peace movement plans protest against Obama
A gaggle of peace movement organizations wrote an open letter to the President urging that he adopt their platform for peace. However, they forget the time line of some important events;
We feel you are stuck in the same trap, which ensnared President Lyndon Johnson. His decision to continue that awful war in Vietnam brought down his presidency. He failed to listen to the peace movement, and history has not been kind to him.
Um, Lyndon Johnson didn’t “continue” the war in Vietnam, he escalated the operations in Vietnam to an actual combat role. US combat forces were introduced to Vietnam at Da Nang March 8, 1965 – at the beginning of the Johnson Administration.
The letter continues;
Today’s peace movement is baffled by your persistence to wage war on the people of Afghanistan. Not only is your policy flawed, but it is doomed to failure. Afghanistan surely does not need more killing and destruction. It needs financial assistance and the willingness of the United States to build roads, schools and clinics. The people, especially the women and children, need food, medicine, shelter and an end to the fighting. Moreover, the U.S. military is unsuited to do humanitarian work in Afghanistan.
What have the US forces been doing in Afghanistan? Oh, that’s right, they’ve been “air raiding villages”, I forgot. And were they “unsuited to do humanitarian work in” Bosnia and Kosovo, too?
We protested the belligerency of the Bush administration, and now we are demonstrating against your misguided efforts in Afghanistan. We are mystified that in the midst of a horrible economic crisis, you are wasting precious tax dollars and other resources in a futile war without end. To call this a war of necessity is an attempt to rewrite history.
I’ll bet you clowns are mystified about a lot of things, mostly simple tasks like tying your shoes and changing your underwear. To not refer to this war as a war of necessity is to ignore history.
But on the upside, this coalition of misinformed idiots are planning to protest against the Obama White House on Monday, October 5th.
I wonder if Jimmy Carter will call them racists.

Some people are stuck on stupid. These are some examples.
We’re waging war ‘on the people of Afghanistan’? No, that’s what the Taliban does. You have to be quite off your rocker to confuse our mission with the enemy’s mission.
What delicious irony! Leftwing moonbats eating one of their own! They should be glad. The war on Islamic terrorism is Obama’s to lose, and he’s doing just that. We are saddled with a “president” pre-occupied with apologizing to the world, including Islamic nation states who laugh their asses off at Obama’s concilliatory gestures.
He wants to target CIA interrogators for extracting valuable information that saved American lives, instead of the terrorists themselves. He’s disowned Iraq, and has fucked up big time in Afghanistan. He will not give Soldiers the tools and the support needed to finish the job. He has no intention of winning.
Apparently, THE ONE just isn’t nihilist enough for them. Incredible.
Protest on a Monday? Oh, that’s right, THEY don’t have jobs to go to, other than to go where the AFL-CIO, SEIU, ANSWER, Code Stink and the other lefty groups pay them their $15.00 for the day.
Wonder if the 0 will stay in the White House that day, or flee to somewhere else in the country?
