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.
To Cindy I would say: "You killed your own son,... leave other people's sons alone!"

Medea Benjamin was just on Hannity's radio show and mentioned that Cindy Sheehan first called Code Pink back around the RNC Convention to help her with lining up speaking engagements against President Bush
Well .. there goes the excuse the Code Pink is using her
She joined them voluntarily
Cindy Sheehan is a pathetic day old, dried up, stale fruitcake.
Actually, she's worse, she's typical of the treason and perfidy and naive obliviousness of the knee jerk and predictably always anti-American left traitors.
The whole situation is very sad indeed. Not only is she smearing her dead son's good name, she's aiding an enemy of the U.S. during a war. One has to wonder just how she managed to raise such a fine son.
Alert the media!
Where is that in the UN charter? I know, we're infidels and must be lied to.
Guess my theory, that her crusade is a demented way to get back at her son for joining the military, proves to be correct.
Check out the first part of this:

she wnats othe mothers to experience the loss of a son. Libs love spreading misery equally.
Kofi used the U.N charter to roll a big "fatty" and smoked it.
Cindy Sheehan, a testament to the "prozac nation."
Didn't we turn over sovereignty to Iraq last year?
HELLO!!! They are a sovereign country that has ASKED the US and the Coalition to stay and help get the country on it's feet.
THEREFORE, they have every right to write a constitution. Condi had a presser about an hour ago...and basically said the same thing to the press questions..
Whenever one of the reporters asked her what the US was "going to do about this", she reinterated that this is an Iraqi "problem" and that we are just there if they need help.
BTW, Jeff Birnbaum on Brit's show tonight, said that it was never going to work no matter how much extra time they took and that Pres. Bush needs to accept that instead of making statments about how well things are going over there...blech..
Luckily, Krauthammer was there to remind Birnbaum that OUR Constitution wasn't written until 12 years after the Dec. of Independence...and the Iraqis have had just over 6 months!
Birnbaum, though, is taking the "talking points" from the radio news and every other source so far today...just damn.
Now it's all about her and her ideas.
See this.

Cindy attended a hate america first style rant at SFSU with terrorist lawyer/traitor Lynne Stewart, Palestinian flack Jess Ghannam, FREE MUMIA witch Pam Africa , Former SF Green party mayoral candidate (too left for SF!) Matt Gonzalez.
Cindy is no average mom. She's a dedicated LW moonbat.
In another time what Cindy Sheehan and her motley crew of unwashed associates are doing would be called giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
We set a very bad precedent during the Vietnam War by not prosecuting Hanoi Jane and all her Benedict Arnold wannabes. I predicted at that time that failure to prosecute would come back to haunt us, and it has.
Hairball with Chrissy is having on Cindy Sheehan right now!
tell us if she explodes
