Moonbat fratricide: Mother Sheehan condemns Obama's imperialist war of aggression
2011-03-23
Jim Treacher, DCTrawler

Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq and who was thus granted “absolute moral authority” by Maureen Dowd, has turned her attention to the current war military action euphemism-to-be-determined in Libya....

When I began protesting, Bush was president and my protest and the energy that grew around it was used by you Democrats to regain political power in the federal government. Four years later and a change of Executive, this nation is still mired in Arab countries waging a war against Arabs of all, or no, faith. Now brought to us by the Blue Team.

Three days after the current evil Emperor was installed by the oligarchy, he ordered a drone bombing in Northern Pakistan (a country that we are supposedly not at war with) that killed 36 civilians and since then, he has been absolutely mad about drone bombings, increasing Bush’s total over 300 percent in far fewer years. Even though I never supported Obama who funded wars as a Senator and who is NOT a peace president, I said at the time: “Three days in and already a war criminal.” I was thoroughly attacked by Democrats who once affiliated as “peace” activists for not giving Obama “time.”

Well, Gitmo is still open, military tribunals will resume for men who have been illegally detained for up to a decade now, US Tomahawk missiles are raining down on innocents in Libya (killing people to save them is the NEW PEACE), dictators are still supported, Israel is still occupying and oppressing Palestine, activists are being targeted by Obama’s DOJ while BushCo are being protected, the USA PATRIOT ACT was renewed, the Gulf is dying–and where is the outrage?

This is where I think the outrage is–the oligarchy of this country is clever, they knew that it would take a person of color with an Islamic name who sold his soul many years ago–to fulfill the neocon agenda of planetary dominance (see: Project for a New American Century). So if one criticizes Obama, then we are attacked by War Loving Democrats for being: “divisive fanatics,” “racist,” “Tea Baggers,” “crazy,” etcetera. Could McCain be getting away with bombing North Africa? Or does that take an African-American to give political cover to the war jackals?

She's consistent, you gotta give her that.

#3  Mm, I interpret and "oligarchy" and "war jackals" more along the lines of, "gained the freshman 25 plus another sophomore 15, knows the marxist prof is out of her league, and is trying to impress the too-cool-for-rules rebel guy with a scraggly goatee who shows up in an anarchy t-shirt and combat boots every third class or so, smelling like weed."

But, the giveaway is that it's written in full words and sentences, not text-message shorthand, so the author must be over age 30.

She write like some college freshman chick who's banging her Marxist Poli Sci professor...

#1  IMHO the moment was lost on ousting Kadaffi. He has had weeks to get his private armies, rally some internal support, and keep the rest of the world guessing. The key point to take home here is that the military (the well trained ones and the one with good weapons) works for Qafdaffi. The popular uprisings in Egypt and Yemen were successful because the military either stood by or help the protesters. That will not be the case in Libya. With the Germans quitting, Phrance wabbling, and the Brits dithering I don;t see Momo leaving power. If he gets to stay in power those people in eastern part of the country might want to move out, because he will eventually go after them (or his son will).
