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.
A sick form of the Stockholm Syndrome?
Lame, disingenuous graphic
Matthews sounds like a complete dolt.
Gosh, he's being mean to her!
And, I won't even mention... having the various tribal leaders sitting at the table of diplomacy together. Miracle? Amazing!!! Hmph on her. And this latter, in the Ghan, is truly, truly amazing. (Not mentioning the healthcare programs, the medical clinics, the schools, the roads, the airstrips, the clean water, the hygiene.. and on and on!) What soldiers initially found in Afghanistan in NO WAY RESEMBLES what is there and built, now.
Silly girl, Cindy. Silly and foolishness you've allowed yourself to reveal.
He must think it's Malkin.
He's being horrible to her!
DRUDGE: MOTHER CINDY SHEEHAN DEMANDS GW BUSH TANGO WITH HER
Cindy Sheehan mother of a Marine who was killed in Iraq last year claims she will no longer content with a face to face meeting with President Bush.
"I want to dance ," she said. "You know, Rumba or Tango."
Developing....
Yep ..
Chris Matthews is an ass
Who have got to be kidding me
Is in on at 1:00 AM ? I am sorry---I thought it was midnight...I am glad you corrected me.
Did you hear how RUDE Chrissy was to that Iraqi woman? He was yelling at her!
Matthews was a lot tougher on the Iraqi woman than he was on Mrs. Sheehan. Also, he couldn't seem to grasp that English is not her native language.
Yep
Chris is on a midnight .. EST
I wasn't going to watch Chris, because I just can't stand him, but when I read on the thread he was going to have some pro-Bush folks on I tuned in. She did a very good job, even with her broken english, she made her points much better than Chris made his.
I can't believe he asked Cindy if she was going to run for COngress "because she knows so much about this issue". What a dweeb he is.!!!
LOL!
Now she is pushing out her racist, evil, bigoted, delusional mega-leftist agenda, with her true (crazy) opinions systematically censured by a corrupt mainstream media.
Bump
Since she is single now she should hook up with Nick Bergs father. They could run the insurgency right from U.S. soil.
See #68. Remember what I said yesterday?
