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.
Here's Cindy!
and her buddy convicted traitor Lynne Stewart
Could this situation get any sadder?
According to Code Pink, they are instructing American citizens right now, by their website, to join the tour and "test the US federal law". They know full well as an organization to encourage and facilitate (especially if money passes hands) private visits to Cuba not authorizied under US Treasury Licensing restrictions, means they are aiding and abetting violation of federal law, for which they can be found guilty of conspiracy and RICO violations.
Lie down with dead animal carcasses, Mrs. Sheehan, get up with maggots.
yes it can... just keep watching her implode as the days go by, and MSM guts her at the Leftie Sacrifice Altar
PUT ON HARDBALL NOW!!
Ping!
Chris Matthews not getting the answer he wanted on the question of whether she would feel the same way if her son were killed in Afghanistan.
Indeed.
Sometimes its best not to listen to mom.
On another thread, I had a disagreement with someone who insists that in order to be compared with Jane Fonda, Sheehan would have to travel to Iraq to meet with the terrorists. As this article shows, in this time of teleconferences and internet communication, actual travel is not necessary.
This woman is a traitor, plain and simple.
She finally did answer him!
She said she would feel the SAME if he had died in Afghanistan...and that we should leave there immediately, because "we haven't accomplished anthing over there"..
She cannot even think without her talking points in front of her.
And the MSM a making her out to be THE MOVING FORCE for the anti-war movement...LOLOL
Chris Matthews just asked her would she feel the same way if her son was killed in Afghanistan. She said yes and that we should not have invaded Afghanistan.
Matthews said "well the Taliban was protecting Al Qaeda in Afghanistan so shouldn;t we attack the HQ of Al Qaeda?" She said no, we killed lots of innicent people.
She's a pure antiwar kook.
Oh my! When's the replay?
[Bookmarked]
Midnight--Eastern time!
Matthews: Do you think anybody from the "right" put them up to writing that e-mail?
Chrissy is back in fine form.
TRANSCRIPTS for when they become available.
The "using" would seem to be mutual.
Bin Laden couldn't have said it better.
Cindy brought up the Downing Steet Memos
Oh there she goes crying again
