Michael Moore mocks Obama for setting a deadline. Calls it crazy talk.
Larry King Live ^ | 12-1-09 | Larry King Live

Posted on 12/02/2009 6:44:36 AM PST by cushman

Michael Moore: I can understand why Republicans and some of the people on the right, lol, are like, 'What are you doing setting a deadline?'. It's like CRAZY. If they're truly the enemy, you don't say, 'Okay, we're going to fight you until 2:00 on ummm (looks at watch), on July 2, 2011. I mean it's like, if they are the enemy, you fight them until they're done. Until you win, and they lose. And that's not what he said. He just provided more fodder for his opponents by giving a deadline.

Larry KIng: Right

Michael Moore: If somebody is trying to kill you, if that's his case, that people in Afganistan are trying to kill us, then how can you set a deadline? The deadline is maybe a week from now or maybe it's 10 years from now, but it's going to be, 'We're going to stop you from killing us".

It’s more like Michael Moore is upset that Obama is sending more troops.

But on a side note, he mocks Obama for setting a deadline based on Obama’s argument. He’s mocking Obama’s reasoning for sending more troops. Basically saying, Obama’s case is that we are pursuing the enemy. Moore says, if that’s his case, he’s crazy for setting a deadline. Why would you tell your so called enemy when you are going to stop fighting. If they’re truly the enemy, you fight to win. End of story.

What a coincidence! It's Michael Mooreing in Dallas at this very minute!

You know. Big fat flakes ... one big drip ... polluted ... an intolerable mess ... screws up everything ... snarls traffic ... causes needless wrecks ... harms the economy ... a big pain in the butt ... serves no useful purpose.

Right now, the Senate Armed Forces Committee is meeting and John McCain is ripping Gates a new one with regard to setting a withdrawal date.

Vintage McCain. It's good to see that again.

He wrote an article yesterday. It was posted on FR. I agreed with him that we need to bring our troops home, but for different reasons that Moore’s.

I’m convinced that this war, along with everything else, is about Obama. This guy will blame everyone for his failure. Our troops are doomed there.

"When Michael Moore makes more sense than the president of the United States, then you know we’re screwed."

Totally agree.

Obama already set a deadline for ending the Iraq War:
March of 2008.

Remember?

Deadline #1


Click on the image above or this video link to hear Barack Obama proclaim that he had a plan to have our troops
out of Iraq by March... of 2008!

The deadline is stupid. All the enemy has to do is avoid defeat for 18 months, and then take over after we pull out.

Yeah, I never did quite get that one. How was His Messiahness going to accomplish that? By traveling back in time??

Did MM and I actually agree on something just now?

If even Michael Moore gets it, then we are in a VERY sorry state of affairs with our CinC indeed!

Moore’s last movie cratered at the box office. Maybe he’s smelling obama’s collapse in the wind and thinking about making a movie that appeals to a much larger audience: conservatives. I would love to see Moore do a take-down movie on Obama.

LOL - whould would have ever thought the day would come when I agree with Michael Moore. This does prove up has become down...

It is to early in the day for me to be drunk so I must assume I am terminally psychotic as I agree with Micheal Moore.

Wow, finally something I agree with Lumpy on.

I mean could you imagine FDR in WWII going on the radio and announcing that we are sending a million men to land in Normandy within the next few months, and saying that the deadline for launching the invasion is June.

He might get a little bounce in his ratings tomorrow, but he’s gonna get slammed by next Thursday with minus 18 or maybe 20.

It’s gonna be from his base. You watch....

Got to hand it to the White House. The timing in all of this is just perfect.

At this very moment, the Senate is in session DEBATING health care reform. And no one is paying any attention to it.
