MOTHERS IN ARMS

Cindy Sheehan is not the only mother to lose a son in Iraq. Three local moms share her pain. But they draw the line on her politics.

While Sheehan's extended camp-out in Crawford, Texas, continues to fuel pundits' praise and scorn, the three Louisiana mothers largely have ignored the squawking talk-show hosts and 24-hour updatesfrom Camp Casey, as Sheehan's encampment has become known.

Without exception, they never stray far in their comments about the war from the fact that their sons believed in their missions and understood the risks.

Bomb Threat in Crawford

Our correspondent Gene Allen reports that just a few minutes ago, an unidentified man telephoned the Yellow Rose Gift Shop in Crawford, Texas and said, "Your shop is going up in smoke, you better get out now." Law enforcement is on the scene.

Gene describes the Yellow Rose as "a pro-Bush gift shop with a Ten Commandments monument out front. It is located across the street from the Coffee Station, down the street from the Crawford Peace House."

I don't suppose any of those peace-loving folks would have anything to do with a bomb threat.

"We took a heavy hit there, you know?" she said. "That affected everybody in the U.S.A. So while we're out there blaming Bush, cutting up, spending all your life in misery, they're plotting on how they're going to come back and get us again. We've got to watch that. My son is a soldier and a hero, and I'm a soldier's mother, and I'm standing for a good cause: what my son believed in.

"I'm going to go to my grave standing for what he believed in. That's what mamas do when their little soldiers go away to war."

It's time to clean that mess out. They have the authority to see that the ditch witch is a public threat and nuisance. The SS needs to sweep them all out.

They better start clearing that vipers nest out. They went over the edge a long time ago, and are now threatening violence. The SS should start evicting all of them, for the protection of the president.

Is it me, or wouldn't common sense come to play here? This woman is a threat to the President of the USA. She is stalking him for pete sake. This makes no sense to me.

When they show these nuts on TV, then show Pro-troop folks, you can see an OBVIOUS difference in the kinds of people that are there. It's scary to think these people walk the streets as free Americans (thanks to the sacrifice of those who died to give them the right to stand there and spit in their face.)Their ALL shameful!

Cindy needs love and help. I hope she gets it. I don't think her new friends will be around to help her gather the fragments of her mind when they are done, though.

At the rally in Crawford on the 13th, you could hear the anti-Bush crowd that was by us yelling...'This isn't Bush country anymore." I listened to some of what they said when I carried the flag next to the road. I got so angry I had to keep going back to our rally.

I am not on any HRT and I figured I better get away from their noise.(of course nowdays I hear that's a defense) Lololol

Did you'all know that Cindy spoke at a NY City "No War"
meeting and she said she will "NEVER DIE OR FIGHT FOR THE USA"
The meeting was at LYNN STEWART , Cindy's friend who is arrested for helping the NY Terrorist after the 93' bombing of the Twin Towers.

Cindy is no angel, and she is a REAL Radical .
