Bachmann claims NATO killed 30,000 civilians in Libya

Source: Raw Story

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) got her facts confused Sunday while objecting to President Barack Obama's decision to participate in the military action against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

The Minnesota congresswoman told Fox News' Chris Wallace that NATO airstrikes had killed up to 30,000 civilians in the country.

"People should be outraged at the foolishness of the president's decision," she said. "He said he wanted to go in for humanitarian purposes and overnight we are hearing that potentially 10 to 30,000 people could have been killed in the strike. Those are some of the reports."

"The NATO strikes killed 10,000 to 30,000 people?" an incredulous Wallace asked.

"A report that came out last night from the Tripoli ambassador said that potentially there could be 10,000 to 30,000," Bachmann insisted.

a journey of ten thousand bodies begins with a single bomb

She's an ill informed fool and a propagandist.

propaganda 101

dumb as a post

It's a very simple observation... once you start bombing people it's only a matter of time before you get to any given number of dead bodies.

Is bombing people now a good thing because Bachman opposes it?

All of a sudden she cares about the death of civilians???

The facts and Michele .... not so much.

wonder were she might come across such trolling hmmm

I want to live with people like you.

Another desperate grab for the front pages. :crazy:

Everybody knows that utterances that come out of the mouths of Republicans are not intended as factual statements

Can't BELIEVE she graduated from law school!

Grade school:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:thumbsup:

Oral Roberts University, so I guess it is possible. I can't believe she got re-elected to Congress.

and helped moved ORoberts Law to Regents.

Also spent time on Israeli kibbutz.

from William and Mary, you have to name the Ten Commandments on the final exam.

Don't think so, and surely not for LLM in TAX!

At William and Mary, it is probably "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

Yeah, I am joking, though Bachmann sure doesn't seem bright enough to pass a bar exam. :shrug: We live in very strange times!

Who gave her air time??? I can't figure out who would do it?????

couldn't believe she said it. Too crazy for FOX?

in Iraq? or even Afghanastan? Anybody remember?

She never reads and comprehends anything, she is dangerous.

;-)

No, I won't get on Fox for saying that, but I don't care.

I just know it's true!

'The first casualty in a war is the truth,' or so it's said.

But these numbers coming from Bachman? No way!

She learned math at the same place claiming Obama's trip to India cost $200 billion. A figure the dead headed repugs still parrot.

Wonder how much longer she's in the media spotlight before they go back to Grifty McQuitter?

Bachmann legislates a fairly small rural district yet her 2010 campaign was the most expensive race in US house history. To put in perspective, she hauled in more money than Kanye West last year. The GOP hasn't had such a money-making machine since Tom DeLay.

just shut up.

where republicans are the anti-war party ?? or more accurately tea-partiers. establishment republicans are still, to my knowledge, war-piggish as ever.

type of person. Not literally a lizard tho:dem:

When did that change? Is she upset about the million civies Bush killed in Iraq?

And she can barely contain her love of him :shrug:

BONG hits Michelle. Should have stepped away from that last toke....
