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.
Thanks for the ping.
We all knew she was just a puppet....just not sure who her masters were. Thanks for the find.
They don't really support the troops as you well know. Instead they are lying since they realized that the American people were not thinking kindly toward them for being so anti military. This is of course, a big lie from the left as usual.
If true, her son has to be turning in his grave. This is just too sad for words. :(
So she was already "working" before she called Code Pink during the RNC Convention in September.
If true, she is a supporter of her son's killers. What kind of mother could do such a thing? It's one thing to protest the war, it's another to use her son to embolden his murderers.
The woman is bonkers.
Boy, I hope this gets out to the media. She's a war monger. Ironic, isn't it?
Maybe that's what rancher Larry Mattlage meant when he said yesterday that they were going to do everything they could, underneath the law, to get that nest of vipers off Prairie Chapel Road. Maybe in Texan "underneath the law" meant under the law?
I hope it works out for the ranchers and folks whose lives are being majorly disrupted by the Cindy-heads.
Direct deposit.
It would appear that way.
Those peace nicks peeing in buckets and unable to shower for two weeks must be stinking up the whole neighborhood by now. It must be like living next to a pig farm down there.
I don't blame the good people of Crawford for wanting to clean up the neighborhood.
What's the Web address for the station? I'd like to see that report if it's online. Thanks.
I think I will stop helping make his mommas sedition front page news with my anger for her actions and start making Army Spc. Casey Sheehan front line news with his sacrifice to our nation and thank him and those in his family that really loved him and show it.....
