Sleeping with the enemy

At Cindy Sheehan's side since Aug. 6 when she began her anti-war protest outside President Bush's Texas ranch have been three groups that openly support the Iraqi insurgency against U.S. troops: Code Pink-Women For Peace, United for Peace & Justice, and Veterans For Peace.

Those organizations were represented at a mock ''war crimes'' trial in Istanbul....

It's about time someone in the MSM started reporting who these people are and what they really stand for. Now we need our government to start having trials for sedition and treason.

[armymarinedad]

Here is a link to the "tribunal" website. Read their findings and check out their endorsers.

[armymarinedad]

and I forgot the link. It's too early in the morning.

It's a duplicate as well. Different titles:

Different title, different source, a major media outlet. As far as I'm concerned, this cannot be posted too many times.

Now we need our government to start having trials for sedition and treason.

In the modern world, treason has been essentially re-defined to be just another form of freedom of expression.

I have actually talked to liberals who are opposed to this war that think Americans who endorse this tribunal's findings have crossed the free speech line and are traitors. It's time to start exposing these people for what they are and demand justice. They are killing American troops with their speech. If conservatives won't speak out and defend our military on the home front why should they risk their lives abroad?

[Hardastarboard]

Your comment is excellent, and spot on. Why should the soldiers risk their lives when they keep hearing the double speak of the liberals saying "We support the troops, but not the war". Reminds of the Rudyard Kipling poem "Tommy", about a British soldier in uniform who was refused a drink in a pub just for being a soldier.

"For it's 'Tommy this', and 'Tommy that', and 'Throw him out, the brute';

But it's Tommy 'e's our 'ero when the guns begin to shoot"

Nothing has been proven. Sheehan is consorting with groups who actively oppose the US and our military. And you really have to look at your friends objectively and ask yourself what their ultimate objective is.

[Fudd Fan]

If President Bush is "incompetent" then we need more of it.

[Layman26]

Great reply. What do you mean nothing has been proven? It has been over two years and the Bush Administrations justifications for the invasion of Iraq have steadily fallen and been spun into a new ones that fall apart just as quickly.

With regard to agendas, if you read my post I support our military and demand better leadership for them and accountability for those who endangered them. I greatly appreciate the commitment that all of our soldiers have made to protect our nation throughout my lifetime. I appreciate their willingness to sacrifice their lives for our national security. It is when the threat to national security is manufactured to invoke these sacrifices, and the actions actually threaten national security that I feel compelled to speak up.

[Layman26]

Sorry, where I grew up DU stands for Ducks Unlimited. I don't think that is what you meant.

[rmgatto]

Your words have little substance. I know you and your kind consider us the enemy. Be assured we have many ways to deal with you, our enemy and traitor (your word). One way is a life sentence with a Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker on your Volvo. Another is to force you to become educated in the history and methods of warfare, a subject in which you are woefully ignorant. As a last resort, we could parachute you into Mosul so your hero terrorists can scalp you at the neckline. They won't notice your Birkenstocks and you won't have time to show your ALCU card.

If it were up to you and your kind we would be the biggest pussies in the world, and we'd be speaking German or Russian or Chinese.

[Thebaddog]

How about Sheehan's assertions against Israel and her claim that her son died for oil. She has also made claims against Bush personally. Do you stand with her on her comments?

[Grampa Dave]

"The protestors are asking that we protect our soldiers from the arrogant incompetence of the Bush Administration that has endangered them. If that is treason, go ahead and indict us now."

Sunday morning trolling by a Hate GW Troll.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

There was no connection between Al Qaida and the Iraqi government.

There was an obvious connection then, and an obvious connection now that they are indeed in Iraq.

Aside from Iraqi funding of Palestinian terrorism, you agree with Sheehan it is all the fault of the Jews, just like Saddam and Al Queerda... go to hell...

Do you smell ozone?

I like the smell of a mid-thread zot in hte morning.
