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.

Yes. Which is why I have neither respect nor sympathy for her. She is a very willing useful idiot.
Hate to do this but there seems to be more than 2 members.

That's what I was wondering. 82 replies on this thread, and no explanation. If Freepers don't know this term, why would an average person like Cindy Sheehan use it? She really does sound like a robot. Poor, brainwashed woman--I really feel bad for her. She needs some prayers. Can we start a prayer thread for Cindy Sheehan?
So, with Nadia they are up to 3 members. I think the Gold Star Mothers should sue Cindy for misappropriating their name. Now, I couldn't name my cola "Coca Cola for Peace", so why can she appropriate the name of another organization, when the purpose is obviously to confuse the public.
Isn't suicide completely against Catholic teachings? Yet, she tried to commit suicide twice.
It's all about meeeeeeee.....
One member, Dolores Kesterson was on O'Reilly's show last night without ever saying she was a member (of course GSFP could be claiming her as a member without her knowledge). She said George Bush was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people for no good reason, not even self-defense, but wouldn't say that he was evil. As if that would make a difference. The MSM is truly evil for parading this disturbed people in front of their cameras. Evil.
Her son IS a true hero. How he joined the military after her filling his head with propaganda, is testament to his character. I honor his ultimate sacrifice, made for my, my family's, and my country's safety. I acknowledge and honor him for the sacrifice he made so the Iraqi people no longer have to live under Saddam Huessein's brutal dictatorship; which consisted of among other things, rape and torture of men, women, and children.
I honor him for the sacrifice he made so that one country in the Muslim world can have a chance at living in a democracy , so that Muslims can have a taste of freedom and know another way of life beside oppression.
I honor him, because when he was called to go to Iraq, to serve our country, he didn't run away to Canada, as I'm sure his mother wanted him to. He went and he paid the ultimate price.
It's sad that his mother refuses to honor him, and associates herself with people who hate our military and wish them dead, like Michael Moore, whose film is a propaganda tool to recruit terrorists.
I wonder if she ever called her son a baby killer, "killer of innocent people" because he joined the military?
I would love to sit her down with photo's and film of what went on under Saddam's reign. Let her talk to survivors of Saddam's brutality. Also, many, many, Al Queda terrorists were hiding in Baghdad when Saddam was in charge. But, it would be a waste of time. It's obvious from her statements that she is too far gone to be reasoned with.
She has no respect for her son. If she did, she would take time to find out why he joined the military in the first place. (He joined after 9/11.) Just maybe there is another explanation for what's happening in Iraq, besides what is being fed to her by the radical left, anti-Americans.
You'd think she'd at least acknowledge that he loved this country enough to volunteer to serve. I would to ask her if she thinks her son is proud of what she's doing. I'm sure she'd say "yes he is" because it's all about her.
Too bad she doesn't have enough regard for her son to consider the possibility that he wasn't a stupid , duped, moron/idiot, and also brutal "killer of innocent people" , who died in Iraq for no reason i.e. he was killed while carrying out the evil plans of president Bush.
Maybe he was an honorable person, who made a commitment to serve and protect our nation, followed through on it, and then made the ultimate sacrifice, in an noble cause.
Prayers for her that she is given discernment, wisdom, and understanding about what she is doing, and that she is healed and her spirit restored. Amen
I don't know if that's Maxine or Jane Bright. They can't even identify people correctly in this picture. The guy on the left, bald, blue shirt is unidentified. Jane Bright and Maxine Waters are black females. That's 2, only one is pictured.
Very characteristic of a true, violent psychopath.
Ted Bundy was "calm" too. So was Jeffrey Dahmer. Until they were unleashed.
I'm sure Secret Service is taking her words seriously.
And lemme see.. it is fine that they bombed the World Trade Center years before they blew it up with airplanes, because the terrorists just don't like Jewish Israelis.
I am so confused trying to keep up with these nut jobs.
You're absolutely right. She is also dishonoring her son by lying about the circumstances of his enlistment--and re-enlistment.
This was pointed out in the Frontpage article here:

Thanks for posting the link with "the rest of the story" so to speak.
BUMP
I hope the Secret Service is keeping an eye on her. I think she could become dangerous.
The President should not meet with her, as I think she would physically attack him.
What Sam is posting is valuable.
Didja see the snide little dig on page 2 from Tom Baldwin, the "reporter" that wrote this? About "right-wing websites" attacking a poor defenseless grieving mother?
Time to let the Times of UK know about their crainial/rectal inversion problem.
Why, that crowd is almost pure lily-white ;-)
