CRAWFORD, Texas -- Cindy Sheehan says she has never claimed to speak for all families of the soldiers killed in Iraq, but that she's not the only one who needs answers about why Americans are dying.
Speaking to supporters Thursday, she said she was overwhelmed by a huge banner featuring her son's face when she returned to the anti-war protest camp the previous night. She had left the protest outside President George W. Bush's Texas ranch to see her ailing mother in California.
Sheehan said she wants to know "the noble cause our children die for." She has no quarrel with Americans who feel their loved ones died for a good reason, but she wants to make her son's death "stand for peace."
Families of some other Iraq war dead have criticized Sheehan's protest. They've launched a counterprotest and call the tour "You don't speak for me, Cindy." Peace Mom Doesn't Claim To Speak For Others
Her son made the call when he re-upped and re-deployed to Iraq.
It's not up to her to determine the meaning or value of his death.
Scum bag!
Call me crazy but didn't she demand ALL the soldiers come home now? Sounds to me like she did think she was speaking for all the families when she said that.
Clearly this is in preparation for the caravan.
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Cindy Sheehan says she has never claimed to speak for all families of the soldiers killed in Iraq, BUT..."
Then she should take down all the crosses with the names of our brave soldiers on them.
Against Cindy's demands, including her attempt to send him to Canada.
"Sheehan said she wants to know "the noble cause our children die for."
My 43 year old nephew is not a child. My kids are grown men.
STOP being the nanny. The left is portraying the military force as a bunch of ninnies unable to think for themselves.
They aren't children and they are there because that is what they do.
Can we stop calling ditch bitch a "Peace Mom?"
When you are openly rooting for the enemy, you are NOT peaceful.
SIf she doesn't claim to speak for the others (and I bet a search of the many brilliant things she has said will reveal otherwise) then why did she do the big show of the Crosses with the names?
It's basically over. The backlash is getting noticed by the MSM. Watch this story quickly move from page one to page 12.
That's a dangerous drive from that part of Texas. Just ask Madeline Murray O'Hare.
The left is portraying the military force as a bunch of ninnies unable to think for themselves. They aren't children and they are there because that is what they do.
To the left, grown men and women are precious wittle children that the big, bad Bush is killing. Yet they will kill an innocent baby in the womb without blinking an eye. Libs are such disgusting deviants - their hypocrosy knows no limits.
She says this....
She has no quarrel with Americans who feel their loved ones died for a good reason, but she wants to make her son's death "stand for peace."
Our president feels they died for a noble cause, she has a quarrel with him, no?
OK, so give us a list of soldiers she wants to come home. If you're not speaking for others, then who, specifically, are you speaking for.
SHE'S CALLED FOR BRINGING ALL TROOPS HOME...FROM IRAQ AND FROM AFGHANISTAN!!!!!!!!
YOUR CHILD, CINDY, IS SADLY "HOME." SO, YOU ARE ONLY SPEAKING FOR OTHERS.
ADVICE: S-T-F-U!
Sorry for screaming.....I am so angry at this beatch and the coverage the media, and to some degree us, are providing.!
Thank you for being so blunt! Your honesty is just what is missing in this silly woman's public grieving catastrophe!
She is not a "peace mom". If she had any real idea about the impact that her stupid protest is causing, then she would shut up and go home. Her protest gives ammunition to those who want America dead and gone--our way of life--that is freedom is what they cannot stand. If dear Cindy doesn't believe in the war on terror, then let her pack up and go over to the enemy side--I'm sure she wants to cover her head, walk behind the men, and eat after they are done. She would not be able to speak her mind at all--she would be a nobody. Does she not get it?
