Antiwar protester Cindy Sheehan who is camped in Crawford, Texas demanding a meeting with President Bush over the death of son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, in combat in Iraq has surrounded herself with groups that have endorsed the so-called Iraqi resistance.
Last June, groups opposed to the American-led war to depose the regime of Saddam Hussein gathered in Istanbul to hear testimony before a 'jury of conscience' on charges of war crimes and violations of international law by the United States.
Endorsers of the statement issued by the World Tribunal on Iraq at the end of the conference include Code Pink Women for Peace, United for Peace and Justice and Veterans for Peace; while not a named endorser, Tim Goodrich, co-founder of Iraq Veterans Against the War , testified before the tribunal against his country.
Representatives of these four groups have been at Sheehan's side since she arrived in Crawford August 5.
The lengthy statement issued by the tribunal contains several statements legitimizing the so-called Iraqi Resistance. One reads, "It is the brutality of the occupation that has provoked a strong armed resistance and certain acts of desperation. By the principles embodied in the UN Charter and in international law, the popular national resistance to the occupation is legitimate and justified. It deserves the support of people everywhere who care for justice and freedom."
Another statement by the tribunal denounces the January election in Iraq and the new constitution being constructed by the Iraqi parliament:"Any law or institution created under the aegis of occupation is devoid of both legal and moral authority. The recently concluded election, the Constituent Assembly, the current government, and the drafting committee for the Constitution are therefore all illegitimate."
Code Pink Women for Peace, United for Peace and Justice, Veterans for Peace and Iraq Veterans Against the War, despite what they tell the media in Crawford, are not peace groups. They have taken sides against America and stand with the terrorists killing American soldiers in Iraq. Cindy Sheehan, grieving mother of a fallen G.I., stands with those who stand with our enemies.
"It makes no sense how they can proclaim they support the troops at the same time."
I suppose once they convince themselves that truth is relative, they can justify taking two opposing views at once.
True enough:
Jury? A necktie on a bag of fertilizer doesn't change the fact that it's crap.
How terribly sad that she supports those who killed her son.
They hate GWB. The party of tolerance and diversity...a'int! The left wing nutbags are still quite miffed about Algore being unable to steal the election in Florida back in 2000. They are truly loony. As has been said so many times before, "Liberalism is a mental disorder".
No, they're surrender groups. They've decided that terrorism and oppression is unstoppable, so they just want to be the last ones eaten by the crocodiles.
Put on O'Reilly
Let us know who in the family he has on and what they say.
Ask them how they feel about our Revolutionary War.
I wonder if he'll ask Trippi about that conference call.......but Joe was running it!
Wasn't McGovern the one that brought up Israel and the Jews during the DSM fake hearing that Conyers had?
Joe Trippi is on O'Reilly, and he just said that Cindy HASN'T joined any far left group....LOL
HAHAHAHAHA ... O'Reilly is on a ROLL .. and ripping into Joe Trippi
Yes, he was.
Joe Trippi now denying she's a member of the far left.
And he skirts the issue by talking about how many people are against the war.
Good! Smear Joe Trippi with HER statements!
I guess those groups don't meet his definition of "far left" -- they're in the mainstream to him! LOL
This mindless bitch's fine son is spinning in his grave, I guarantee you.
Man, old Joe is tap dancing!
Joe's trying to change the subject!
He really is........I'm loving this!
Oh, the Downing Street Memo! Hello, Joe; that's been thoroughly discredited!
I know...and the fact that he was Howard Dean's campaign manager...lets us know where his loyalties lie...with the terrorists!
Trippi flogging the dead "Mission Accomplished" story!
