Cindy Sheehan of Vacaville, Calif., gathers herself as she recounts stories of her son to a reporter by a tent that she is staying in on the side of the road that leads to President Bush's ranch, Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2005, in Crawford, Texas. Her simple, quiet protest of the war that took her son's life is gaining momentum as dozens joined her Wednesday at the site.
Cindy Sheehan Quotes
In addition, my son was killed after L. Paul Bremer inflamed the Shi'a by taking away their tv station and newspapers. The Abu Ghraib scandal was about to break in America...but it was well known by the Iraqi people that their citizens were being tortured and defiled in the prisons. My son was a sitting duck by the time 04/04/04 rolled around.
Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full-well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by a George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11. We were told that we were attacked on 9/11 because the terrorists hate our freedoms and democracy...not for the real reason, becuase the Arab-Muslims who attacked us hate our middle-eastern foreign policy. That hasn't changed since America invaded and occupied Iraq...in fact it has gotten worse.
I will live in unbearable pain until I die. First of all, because my first born was killed violently, and second of all, because he was killed for a neo-con agenda that only benefits a very chosen few in this world. This agenda and their war machine will chew up and spit out as many of our children as they can unless we stop them now.
...Please use your forum to expose the lies and the devastation this invasion/occupation is causing. We should not stay. We should not let Israel/USA invade Syria or Iran.

He died to make your friends richer. He died to expand American imperialism in the Middle East. We're not freer here, thanks to your PATRIOT Act. Iraq is not free. You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism," she exclaimed."

We began the killing as soon as we stepped foot on these shores and the
killing has gone on unabated for over 200 years.
There has always been excuses for wars, but NONE of them have been good or
valid.
“George Bush and his neo-conservatives killed my son,” she said tearing up a bit. “America has been killing people on this continent since it was started. This country is not worth dying for.”
“They’re not waging a War on Terror but a War of Terror,” she said. “The biggest terrorist is George W. Bush.”
“9/11 was Pearl Harbor for the neo-conservatives’ agenda” and declared the U.S. government a “morally repugnant system.”
We have no Constitution. We’re the only country with no checks and balances. We want our country back if we have to impeach George Bush down to the person who picks up the dog sh-t in Washington! Let George Bush send his two little party animals to die in Iraq. It’s OK for Israel to have nuclear weapons but we are waging nuclear war in Iraq, we have contaminated the entire country. It’s not OK for Syria to be in Lebanon. Hypocrites! But Israel can occupy Palestine? Stop the slaughter!

Is there anyone in America who cannot yet see that Donald Runsfeld is a liar...that he, as with Hitler and Stalin....will say anything so long as he thinks it will help shape the world to his own liking? Is there even one, sane adult among us who cannot see that Donald Rumsfeld is a threat to our nation's security and to peace on our beloved earth?
As soft-spoken and sincere-sounding as Paul Wolfowitz is, is there yet any sane adult in this country who's skin does not crawl when this murderous liar opens his mouth and speaks? Am I the only person in this room who clearly sees that Paul Wolfowitz is a threat to our nation's security...and to peace on our beloved earth?"
Our country has been overtaken by murderous thugs....gangsters who lust after fortunes and power; never caring that their addictions are at the expense of our loved ones, and the blood of innocent people near and far. We've watched these thugs parade themselves before the whole world as if they are courageous advocates for Christian moral values....and for the spread of democracy. Yet we all know that they are now putting in place, all across this country, a system of voting that provides no way to validate the accuracy of the counting of the votes. Our loved ones have been buried in early graves even as these arrogant thugs parade themselves before the entire world, insisting that democracy is worth dying for, killing for, and destroying entire cities for, all the while they are busy here at home overseeing the emplacement of an electronic voting system that invites fraud at every turn, an electronic vote-counting system that provides no way to validate the votes cast, and that, by it's very design, prohibits recounting the votes.
For these men to not see to it that our own system of voting and vote-counting is accurate, understandable and verifiable...all the while sending our loved ones to kill and to die so as to establish a democracy in some far away place......this is just one more staggering piece of evidence that the US government is now ruled by murderous hypocrites...criminals who should be arrested, charged appropriately, confined behind bars, and then tried in a court of law...not only here in our own country, but also in all the other countries which have suffered their incomprehensible greed. In their secret hiding places, while celebrating newly won fortunes with their fellow brass, these men must surely congratulate themselves with orgies of carnal pleasure as they mock the dwindling multitudes who are yet so blind as to mistake them for God's devoted servants.

I'm starting to think that the more she talks the more she's making herself a non-issue, so let her talk away.
Please don't posts links to lewrockwell
Thanks
Can you just remove the links, rather than lose all the quotes?
They show up in numerous places--but Rockwell just had them conveniently archived.
Unfortunately, we're not able to edit replies.
Fine. I'll stop wasting my time.
On that site I see a counter :Cost of the War in Iraq
$186,844,776,238
Wow. I hadn't realized it was so cheap. It's pretty similar to half the costs to our economy of the WTC attacks - with about half the dead.
Since there is no country called Palestine where is this that Israel is supposed to get out of?
Cindy was just on the ABC News radio break. She said that if Bush won't talk to her by Aug 31st that "we" will be taking the protest to Washington. The radio station should put the BBQ back on because by using the word "we" she has identified what she is doing as not being the act of a "grieving" mother, but an organized protest. The gloves come off. She also sounds crazier when you hear her than when you read her comments.
In WWII the Eighth Air Force alone lost 40,000 men.
More lies.
Cindy? Is that you? LOL
(You don't agree with me at all. I believe Cindy Sheehan is a traitorist lunatic.)
We're nuking every Sheehan troll on sight. Give it up.
I see you signed up today for this garbage. There are lots of posters on this site who have sons, daughters, and other relatives serving at this time. So, go back to DU where they think like you.
My brother and only sibling, who was a pilot in the Air Force for nine years, didn't have any say about flying into Bosnia and Croatia a number of times in aid of Bubba's adventures in foreign policy. He was not a combat pilot, but if you will recall the Serbs were known to fire a missile or two at our planes. My brother voluntarily joined the military for a nine-year hitch knowing full well he could be sent anywhere by a commander in chief he might or might not like or trust. All others who join the military do exactly the same, so this "pick and choose, if it's important to you then you send your family members or go yourself" argument is completely absurd. Did my brother have the option to decline Bubba's orders if he did not agree with the mission? No, he didn't.
