That's ok..Freepers still have the evidence to play around with.
Fatal attraction anyone?

Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq whose August antiwar vigil in Crawford, Texas has captured the nation's attention as she camped out on the side of a road leading to President Bush's ranch demanding a meeting with him, called the foreign terrorists in Iraq (AKA al Qaeda in Iraq) 'freedom fighters' during her first meeting with reporters when she arrived in Crawford, August 6--remarks that when unreported until now.
Mrs. Sheehan also expressed sympathy for Iraqis who have used car bombs and suicide bombings to fight the American-led coalition forces in Iraq.
Video of her incendiary remarks were found on a link from the website of Veterans for Peace, one of the groups that accompanied Mrs. Sheehan to Crawford.
Surrounded by reporters with notepads, tape recorders and video cameras, Mrs. Sheehan spoke freely in response to a question by CBS News' Mark Knoller.
Mr. Knoller asked, "You know that the president says Iraq is the central front in the war on terrorism, don't you believe that?"
Mrs. Sheehan replied, "No, because it's not true. You know Iraq was no threat to the United States of America until we invaded. I mean they're not even a threat to the United States of America. Iraq was not involved in 9/11, Iraq was not a terrorist state. But now that we have decimated the country the borders are open, freedom fighters from other countries are going in and they (America) have created more terrorism by going to an Islamic country, devastating the country and killing innocent people in that country. The terrorism is growing and people who never thought of being car bombers or suicide bombers are now doing it because they want the United States of America out of their country."
The video was shot by an unknown person who accompanied Mrs. Sheehan on her bus ride from the Veterans for Peace convention, held in in Dallas, to Crawford.
The video also contains footage of Mrs. Sheehan talking strategy on the bus ride from Dallas. In response to a fellow activist who mentions remarks by a woman from the Austin Peace and Justice Center that, "The polls are plumeting, people are dying--now's the time," a smiling Mrs. Sheehan says, "Momentum," and adds that they need to "press the advantage."
The end of the thirty minute video shows the confrontation between Mrs. Sheehan and sheriffs when the activist's march to the president's ranch was stopped because the group violated their agreement to march in the ditch along the road by walking on the road itself.
An emotional Mrs. Sheehan is seen pleading with the sheriffs to be allowed to continue, swearing repeatedly that she did not walk on the road, that she kept her promise to them to walk in the ditch.
Immediately after the confrontation, Mrs. Sheehan says she did walk on the road, but just a little bit, because she's afraid of snakes.
It was a performance any parent of an eight-year-old knows well, but rather pathetic coming from a grown woman.
As many observers know, Mrs. Sheehan has gotten a free ride from the mainstream media. Were it not for the research of Freepers that has been picked up by the likes of Matt Drudge, Bill O'Reilly and Christopher Hitchens, the public would not be aware of Mrs. Sheehan's radical politics and disingenuousness.
As documented by the video, the mainstream press knew of Mrs. Sheehan's remarks on her first day in Crawford where she called foreign terrorists entering Iraq (AKA al Qaeda in Iraq) 'freedom fighters' and expressed her sympathy for car bombers and suicide bombers, yet chose not to inform the American people about them.
There's a scandal here, and it's not just Mrs. Sheehan's sympathy for the terrorists.
That's ok..Freepers still have the evidence to play around with.
Rolling in hot, baby! Got lots of napalm, full magazines and a tanker on standby so I can hit targets all day! Tally Ho!
BTTT
Great.
Her motto is: 
BTW that mov video is 69meg is size. So it may take juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust a little while to start.

I'm not military ---- what does "Rolling in hot" mean? Heading in fully loaded and ready to shoot?
May I ask how your brother made the ultimate sacrifice?
He was a hero proved...
I don't know if you're a Christian, but a Christian acquaitance of mine put it this way: In the end, the person you're hating will either be unrepentant and hellbound or they'll be saved and heavenbound. In the former case you wasted all you energy hating someone who will burn for eternity, and that may have happened to them partly because you hated them instead of trying to reach them with forgiveness. If the latter case is true and they're repentant, you hated a brother. In any case, you hated a person Jesus was tortured to death for."
It ain't worth it.
What I've read about him seems to indicate he was a patriot from the beginning...but at the least, by the day of his death it wasn't about college money and probably hadn't been for a long time. He volunteered to go somewhere and be shot at.
He was a hero proved. And now his mother is a traitor proved.
Pretty much. On the range or in combat, "hot" means you will be using weapons on your pass. If you're on the range the range controller will tell you you're "cleared hot" and then you make your run. In a real combat situation where you're doing close air support, you will tell the ground troops you're "rolling in hot" and make your pass.
Thank you. I gave serious thought to heading straight to our pastors office yesterday to ask him how I'm supposed to not hate these people. Fortunately prayer worked. These people are wrong but families should put forth an effort to change things instead of focusing on the useful idiot.
That's very good news!
Got it!!! ;*)
And several others as shown (finally) below.
BAGHDAD, Aug 21 (KUNA) -- Up to 281 people have been arrested around Iraq for being implicated in terror-related attacks, said spokesman for the Iraqi government Laith Kibba on Sunday. Speaking at a press conference, he said that among those arrested were 80 Egyptians, 64 Syrians, 41 Sudanese, 22 Saudis, 17 Jordanians, 10 Palestinians, seven Libyans, six Tunisians, as well as 12 Iranians, four Turks and one British national.
You're welcome! The least I could do for the mom of three heroes.
Thanks. Now that you have jogged my memory in the meaning of "hot", I have heard that but it's been a loooong time since I went to the range. (and not very much even then) :)
'You won't see this reported by the MSM' bump.
