Washington, Mar 21(ANI): Filmmaker Michael Moore has taken to Twitter to slam US President Barack Obama over the decision to launch military action in Libya.
Moore, who frequently criticized former President George Bush for launching the Iraq War, compared the U.S. military’s mission in Libya to Iraq and Afghanistan in several Twitter messages sent Saturday, reports FoxNews.com.
Moore’s comments came after the U.S. troops launched 110 Tomahawk missiles at military targets in Libya as part of an allied effort to prevent forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi from overtaking the rebel-held city of Benghazi.
The strikes on Libya began on the eighth anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq War. (ANI)
