...“We need to get our troops out of Iraq. The only reason Bush wants to stay there is because his buddies are getting rich and feasting off the blood of our children.” She also wants a complete military withdrawal from all Arab countries to make us safe from terrorism.

Is not ridding the world of Saddam Hussein a noble cause? “We sold him weapons and were once his friend — we made him,” she said.

“I have to wonder for the rest of my life if the gun which took Casey’s life was sold to Saddam by the US or by Britain.” Ms Sheenan has separated from her husband, Patrick, since Casey’s death because he does not agree with the “level of intensity” she has devoted to peace in the past year. She has had to dissuade her younger son, Andy, from joining the Army. “I said there was no way this Government was going to get another of my children.” ...

Mother Sheehan you've become a national disgrace,I feel sick every time they show that puss on your face.You are pathetic and selfish,a media whore, who uses her son as a prop on her self centered tour.Oh Cindy you've stained his memory by being so rotten and nasty but you stooped even lower by making him your own leftist patsy .One thing to remember when this is all done,make sure you beg for forgiveness from Casey your son.

I only caught the last part of a phone call to a radio show from a fellow soldier. I'm afraid all I caught was that he was proud to have served with him. Perhaps we'll hear more from his comrades-in-arms later.

Isn't calling for "Israel to get out of Palestine" another way of saying, "Ethnic Cleansing"?

She did? She is truly off the deep end. She knows we're in a war with IRAQ..right? Not Israel/Palestine?

[NewHampshireDuo]

I really hope so. Thanks.

[Sloth]

She's just desperate for another smooch, I think.

[Theresawithanh]

Good one!

She dishonors all the brave men and women who have served and are serving, and those who have lost their lives, and each and every military family by her actions, and she is dishonoring her own son. Her actions are unforgiveable.

Who owns the property she is squatting on? Has a neighbor given permission for her and her entourage? Can anybody show up with a tent and set up camp?

[daybreakcoming]

Let a few thousand rattle snakes go in their vicinity.

She has a camp full of snakes in those silly copy-cat hats. I saw them yesterday - they look like they are trying to be her....even working on the same melted candle facial expression.

Can you think of anyone you know that is dumb enough to be living in that ditch in rattlesnake and copperhead country? And lets don't even talk about fire ants. :o)

[AmericaUnite]

I sure hope your right. I keep seeing her mug on Drudge. Yuck!

The more face time she get the uglier her comments and face. Her nose grows bumpier and her skin blotchier. She's transforming into such an ugly image.

When I first heard her voice on the radio, I thought she sounded like a child. Now she spews communist rhetoric. Between her face, her spiel, and her voice, it's like looking and listening to a troll.

At least that troll smiles.

Bring up FR options and uncheck the center box.

"The only reason Bush wants to stay there is because his buddies are getting rich and feasting off the blood of our children."

LOL. Tell me again, why is Bush expected to meet with this moonbat?

A Tale of Two Fatwas
Osama bin Laden (as published in Al-Quds al-'Arabi on Febuary 23, 1998):   [F]or over seven years the United States has been occupying the lands of Islam in the holiest of places, the Arabian Peninsula, plundering its riches, dictating to its rulers, humiliating its people, terrorizing its neighbors, and turning its bases in the Peninsula into a spearhead through which to fight the neighboring Muslim peoples.   So now they come to annihilate what is left of this people and to humiliate their Muslim neighbors.	Mother Sheehan:     And the other thing I want him to tell me is 'just what was the noble cause Casey died for?' Was it freedom and democracy? Bullshit! He died for oil. He died to make your friends richer. He died to expand American imperialism in the Middle East.
The best proof of this is the Americans' continuing aggression against the Iraqi people using the Peninsula as a staging post, even though all its rulers are against their territories being used to that end, still they are helpless.	Iraq is not free.   Please use your forum to expose the lies and the devastation this invasion [and] occupation [are] causing. We should not stay. We should not let Israel/USA invade Syria or Iran.
All these crimes and sins committed by the Americans are a clear declaration of war on God, his messenger, and Muslims.   Despite the great devastation inflicted on the Iraqi people by the crusader-Zionist alliance, and despite the huge number of those killed, in excess of 1 million, despite all this, the Americans are once against trying to repeat the horrific massacres, as though they are not content with the protracted blockade imposed after the ferocious war or the fragmentation and devastation.	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.   This government has always been in the business of killing people. What is even better is if we kill people who are a different color or not Christian.
If the Americans' aims behind these wars are religious and economic, the aim is also to serve the Jews' petty state and divert attention from its occupation of Jerusalem and murder of Muslims there.   The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies--civilians and military--is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy mosque from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim.	You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism.

All the Iraqi weapons my unit went up against came from Russia, France and England.

Maybe she was talking about America's involvement in Iran-Iraq... in favor of Iraq.

Im wondrin' how the Brit's weapons came to Iraq... Russian weapons is almost a never-ending trend around the world. I dont know what's with the French weapons that Iraqis have them... it might be good though.

[ladyinred]

Leave her there, let her stay out there through the winter until the media finally tires of her LIES! I am sick of her.

[doug from upland]

The President should go back to D.C.

[Lunatic Fringe]

“I have to wonder for the rest of my life if the gun which took Casey’s life was sold to Saddam by the US or by Britain.”

Idiot... The main Iraqi artillery is the French 155mm howitzer. The remainder of Iraq's artillery is 122mm Russian-made cannons and Russian-made short-range rocket launchers. Even the Iraqi foot soldier is armed with the venerable AK-47 of Russian and Chinese make.

[Walkingfeather]

Lord, Please send one of those Texas hail storms....you know the ones with hail stones the size of canned hams?? Thanks.

[Americanchild]

I really like the idea of putting snakes in her camp! Can I, please?! That wouldn't be illegal, would it? I could catch them nearby so they'd be native and all...!

Is not ridding the world of Saddam Hussein a noble cause? “We sold him weapons and were once his friend — we made him,” she said.

So? Not that I believe her, but we also supported the Soviets during WW II, and less than 20 years later they were setting up missiles in Cuba, aimed our way....
