Flashback 2002: Obama Says Using Military Force To Topple A Brutal Dictator Is A “Dumb War”…
Hypocrite.
(CNS) — President Barack Obama, as an Illinois state senator in 2002, said that using military force to topple a murderous dictator amounted to a “dumb war” and should be opposed.
The “dumb war” Obama was criticizing was the planned invasion of Iraq and the murderous dictator was its leader, Saddam Hussein. Obama, speaking at an anti-war rally in Chicago on Oct. 2, 2002 said that while Saddam was a brutal tyrant, that was not enough to justify using military force to remove him from power.
“Now, let me be clear — I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein,” said Obama in his speech. “He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied U.N. resolutions, thwarted U.N. inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity. He’s a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him.”
“. . . After September 11th, after witnessing the carnage and destruction, the dust and the tears, I supported this administration’s pledge to hunt down and root out those who would slaughter innocents in the name of intolerance, and I would willingly take up arms myself to prevent such tragedy from happening again,” said Obama. “I don’t oppose all wars. . . . What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.”

He’s nothing but a lying hypocrite…always has been.
Chickens are coming home to roost!
“I don’t care, I’m Awesome”
Communist talking points are not designed for rational basis as arguments. They are only spoken for the propaganda purpose of deception to gain power and advance the Party. A Communist does not take responsibility or accept the consequences of their words or actions.
Dumbo the fake POTUS is incapable of reasoned thought. His intellect is on the scale of a spoiled little school boy who is used to getting his way right or wrong.
The boy-man is all about rhetoric over substance. “Just words”. Just “speeches”.
Lying COWARD scum says he would take up arms himself. LYING COWARD COMMUNIST MOSLIM ANTI-AMERICAN SCUMBAG obaMAO!!!
I know what half of obama is , the other half must be loon
I bet that pResident ThinSkin got to looking at his tanking poll numbers and thought “You know, when Bushie went to war his approval ratings went way up for a while. If it worked for him, it will work for me!”
Then, when oBonehead actually does go to war, he finds out that all the things he thought about it were not real. So, what does Oshitforbrains do when it doesn’t work his way? Votes “Present” and tries to pass it off to someone else.
And, since Odammit doesn’t know what he’s about, we get all of the contradictory positions. He’s trying to find a position that people will buy into, knowing that the LSM is going to help him. But so far, none of it has worked. The libs made Bush out to be the world’s laughing stock, but Osoetero is proving that he is the world’s laughing stock.
Obama Says Using Military Force To Topple A Brutal Dictator Is A “Dumb War”…
So then we can conclude that Obama is a DUMB President?
Dumb?!………….sounds like the pot calling the kettle black.
Pretty amazing what a national security briefing will do to your outlook of the world.
This guy is a creep. But 52% of the country followed him down Creep Lane, and the rest of us had to follow unwillingly.
I hope a lot of people are waking up.
Dumbest. President. Evah!!!
“What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.”
Notice that the crypto-muslim marxist man-child chooses to name the only JEWS in the Bush adminstration that the anti-semites on the left have also singled out.
Notice that ObamaCare is NOT shoving ideological agendas down our throats irrespicive of the costs.
Its like any words this dumbshit chooses to smear the right with work better on the left. Amazing…….
Kettle meet Pot.
OMG! He was using “let me be clear” way back then? How the hell did people fall for this clown?
JohnC I am much of your opinion. Obama has sent our American young men and women to wage war against a sitting duck. So he can become more popular. And it’s not even full out war, it’s like they want to poke Libya’s dear leader again and again, and if he pokes back well then…THIS IS WAR!!!
It’s a terrible situation for the men and women of the armed forces.
“…I would willingly take up arms myself to prevent such tragedy from happening again…”
Sure he would.
Actually, that is what we need. A president who, during his presidency, has a photo op shooting something. Check out Putin, that guy is scary. He is a martial artist and can probably shoot better than the average hunter. I want to be able to walk up to someone and say, “My President can beat up your leader.” (oh, and not be a flaming psycho like Jesse Ventura).
Obama, we are told, thinks of himself as The Smartest Man in the Room™.
Sadly, in his Administration he could be right.
We’ll be using people power to topple this dictator. Hope it isn’t too late.
Obozo is such an ugly clown!
Krusty Obozo!
I can’t even find words adequate to express how much I despise this tool!
kenetic douchbaggery.
Let me be perfectly clear…. Obama is the dumbest president ever and I don’t have to look at his school records to see that, all I have to do is look at his presidency and speeches to clue me in on what a moronic lying sack of shit he is.
Dumbest president evah!!!!
Dear Lord I pray for you to please keep the innocent Conservatives and their family’s safe from this Ass Clown and you have my blessing for any and all Karmic debt you would like to start hurling back the progressives way.
In the name of the Father ,The Son and The Holy Ghost.
Amen.
Amen whthfk.. I pray that every night, 365 days a year.
Now let me be perfectly clear, Richard Perle would love to share his viewpoint one more time.
@whthfk
Thank you for your prayers, seems each day becomes harder to read the news.
Didn’t the left hound the first President George H.W. Bush forever over his comment when he ran “read my lips, no new taxes”? I mean they played that sound clip over and over after he did raise taxes. But the left ignores everything that this idiot promised, its like he can do no wrong…WTF?
ZIP and all …..PLEASE WATCH!!!!

Thanks Guys ,we all need someone to pray for us ever day.
Gods on our side.. I know it , I read it in a really great book and I believe it.
We win.. But I think were being taught a little lesson here.. we can never take our freedoms and rights for granted .
We need to respect her and our Constitution and we need to show her everyday that we love her, but the most important thing is we need to teach our Children to do all these things and feel with as much love as we do for our rights and freedoms this Wonderful document gave us and to teach our children more about America and her rich beautiful history.
We forgot to show this wonder land of America that we love her and will never ever take her for granted again.
We need to show our founding Fathers that we respect them and will never forget the sacrifices that endured so that we would live free grow and prosper.
We need to remember …
To Obama and his ilk lying is intelligence. He doesn’t care if people accuse him of lying, catch him lying or think of him as a liar. Deception is a goal for him. The American ideal of hard work , honesty and integrity means absolutely nothing to him. Everyone is so stunned at his capacity for lying. Not in his world.
“Now, let me be clear…”
Words cannot describe just how much I HATE this phrase.
It just drips with arrogance.
