Dear President Obama,
<
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. 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.
<
With just one speech tomorrow night you will turn a multitude
of young people who were the backbone of your campaign into
disillusioned cynics
<
You will teach them what they've always heard is true -- that all
politicians are alike. I simply can't believe you're about to do what
they say you are going to do. Please say it isn't so.
<
It is not your job to do what the generals tell you to do. We are
a civilian-run government. WE tell the Joint Chiefs what to do, not
the other way around.
<
That's the way General Washington insisted it must be. That's
what President Truman told General MacArthur when MacArthur
wanted to invade China. "You're fired!," said Truman, and that
was that.
<
And you should have fired Gen. McChrystal when he went to
the press to preempt you, telling the press what YOU had to do.
<
Let me be blunt: We love our kids in the armed services, but we
f*#&in' hate these generals, from Westmoreland in Vietnam
to, yes, even Colin Powell for lying to the UN with his made-up
drawings of WMD (he has since sought redemption).
<
So now you feel backed into a corner. 30 years ago this past
Thursday (Thanksgiving) the Soviet generals had a cool idea --
"Let's invade Afghanistan!" Well, that turned out to be the final
nail in the USSR coffin.
<
There's a reason they don't call Afghanistan the "Garden State"
(though they probably should, seeing how the corrupt President
Karzai, whom we back, has his brother in the heroin trade raising
poppies).
<
Afghanistan's nickname is the "Graveyard of Empires." If you don't
believe it, give the British a call. I'd have you call Genghis Khan
but
I lost his number. I do have Gorbachev's number though. It's
+ 41 22 789 1662. I'm sure he could give you an earful about
the historic blunder you're about to commit.
<
With our economic collapse still in full swing and our precious
young men and women being sacrificed on the altar of arrogance
and greed, the breakdown of this great civilization we call America
will head, full throttle, into oblivion if you become the "War
president."
<
Empires never think the end is near, until the end is here. Empires
think that more evil will force the heathens to toe the line -- and
yet
it never works. The heathens usually tear them to shreds.
<
Choose carefully, President Obama. You, of all people, know that it
doesn't have to be this way. You still have a few hours to listen to
your
heart, and your own clear thinking.
<
You know that nothing good can come from sending more troops
halfway around the world to a place neither you nor they understand,
to achieve an objective that neither you nor they understand, in
a country that does not want us there. You can feel it in your bones.
<
I know you know that there are LESS than a hundred al-Qaeda left
in Afghanistan! A hundred thousand troops trying to crush a hundred
guys living in caves? Are you serious? Have you drunk Bush's Kool-
Aid?
I refuse to believe it.
<
Your potential decision to expand the war (while saying that you're
doing it so you can "end 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.
<
One more throwing a bone from you to the Republicans and the
coalition of the hopeful and the hopeless may be gone -- and this
nation will be back in the hands of the haters quicker than you
can shout "tea bag!"
<
Choose carefully, Mr. President. Your corporate backers are going
to abandon you as soon as it is clear you are a one-term president
And that the nation will be safely back in the hands of the usual
idiots
who do their bidding. That could be Wednesday morning.
<
We the people still love you. We the people still have a sliver of
hope.
But we the people can't take it anymore. We can't take your caving
in, over and over, when we elected you by a big, wide margin of
millions to get in there and get the job done
<
What part of "landslide victory" don't you understand?

Don't be deceived into thinking that sending a few more troops
into Afghanistan will make a difference, or earn you the respect
of the haters. They will not stop until this country is torn asunder
and every last dollar is extracted from the poor and soon-to-be poor.
<
You could send a million troops over there and the Crazy Right
still wouldn't be happy. You would still be the victim of their
incessant
venom on hate radio and television because no matter what you do,
you can't change the one thing about yourself that sends them
over the edge.
<
The haters were not the ones who elected you, and they can't be
won over by abandoning the rest of us.
<
President Obama, it's time to come home. Ask your neighbors in
hicago and the parents of the young men and women doing the fighting
and dying if they want more billions and more troops sent to
Afghanistan.
<
Do you think they will say, "No, we don't need health care, we don't
need jobs, we don't need homes. You go on ahead, Mr. President,
and send our wealth and our sons and daughters overseas,
'cause we don't need them, either."
<
What would Martin Luther King, Jr. do? What would your grandmother
do? Not send more poor people to kill other poor people who pose
no threat to them, that's what they'd do. Not spend billions and
trillions to wage war while American children are sleeping on the
streets and standing in bread lines.
<
All of us that voted and prayed for you and cried the night of your
victory have endured an Orwellian hell of eight years of crimes
committed in our name: torture, rendition, suspension of the Bill
of Rights, invading nations who had not attacked us, blowing up
neighborhoods that Saddam "might" be in (but never was),
slaughtering wedding parties in Afghanistan.
<
We watched as hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians were
slaughtered and tens of thousands of our brave young men and
women were killed, maimed, or endured mental anguish -- the
full terror of which we scarcely know.
<
When we elected you we didn't expect miracles. We didn't even
expect much change. But we expected some. We thought you
would stop the madness. Stop the killing. Stop the insane idea
that men with guns can reorganize a nation that doesn't even
function as a nation and never, ever has.
<
Stop, stop, stop! For the sake of the lives of young Americans
and Afghan civilians, stop. For the sake of your presidency, hope,
and the future of our nation, stop. For God's sake, stop.
<
Tonight we still have hope.
<
Tomorrow, we shall see. The ball is in your court. You DON'T have
to do this. You CAN BE A PROFILE IN COURAGE. YOU can be
your mother's son.
<
We're counting on you.
<
Yours,
Michael Moore

P.S. There's still time to have your voice heard. Call the White House
at 202-456-1111 or email the President.

==========================

This is not part of Michael Moore's letter. But you might find
it interesting.

What is really stupid is telling the radical Islamic nuts that we will pull
out in 2011. Very time BO does something he proves he is out of his
league.

You're happy Obama is going to be the new "war President"?

Glad to see you're finally coming out of The Trance.
