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.
And thank you. Should be interesting.
Looks like we need to return to Crawford this weekend. I'll toss it around with the HOT chapter.
Thanks Takoma. So many cs threads ... glad you brought me here.
Good Freudian slip. CINDU fits this moonbat.
I read somewhere (and for the life of me I can't remember where) that MoveOn was also involved with Ms. Sheehan. Cause I remember thinking, why am I not surprised. They are the ones who are probably paying her to do this.
Having said that, if we could make a big enough noise or splash or whatever we want to call it about honoring Casey and ignoring his Mom, it would accomplish the same purpose.
Sheehan did the RealVoices.org commercial in July of 2004, per the photos from the "Kick-off party" on her own webpage
SAVE THE PAGE, QUICK, before she yanks it like she did the Vacaville Reporter article, and the photos of her meeting with the president.
The party was on July 31, 2004. Unsure if the ads had already been recorded by that date...
...............
If she and her ilk weren't such frauds they wouldn't be compelled to "yank" proof of their former activities from web pages but then, they are disengenious two faced parasites.
All those who said Iraq is another Vietnam are now trying their best to fulfill their own prophesy. Just as with Nam it is not enough to be against the war. Rather they see Bush as their enemy. It is a short walk to "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". These are the same folks who will tell you that they support the troops but deplore the war. I'm sure the troops feel the love.
lol.
Liberals argue like children who demand to have cookies in between meal-times. Their brains constantly seeking out newer demands, victim ploys, etc., and just because they want those cookies. If not the "democracy" issue, they continue to come up with ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in order to put down the great good that is going on In Iraq and Afghanistan. And you know why...
... It's because it's not what they want. They are still stuck arguing from the negative, arguing in and to the negative, presenting themselves negatively. They are stuck in "NO-where" lands, politically.
mega-bump to post #187
yeah, I just saw this on CNN...........
anyone biting on that one?
Cindy is officially a Libsurgent now!
I'd dearly love to see the link to that remark! Where and when did she say to attack the Jews? What a sick fascist hateful woman!
That graphic is the creation of Zacs Mom.
Would one of you save the photos from the backyard event:

What a fruit bar! This woman is nuts and should be locked up. She's a danger to herself, her family and others.
Traitor bit%h!
Until the rabid left took over the Rat Party in the 1960's, people like Cindy would have been locked as mentally insane to protect her and society.
In four decades, liberal lunatic libs like Cindy have become Rat Icons instead of lunatics locked up for being insane.
nothing more, nothing less.

Close enough.
