[Dole speaks to jihad mom about war]

RALEIGH, N.C. -- U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole and peace mom Cindy Sheehan met privately to discuss the war in Iraq and parted as divided in their views as ever.

"Some of the inflammatory statements that have been made by Ms. Sheehan and her political organization undermine the overall War on Terror and are extremely detrimental to our men and women in uniform in harm's way," Dole, R-N.C., said in a statement after the 10-minute private meeting on Thursday.

Dole, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, was "a gentle lady," and "a warmonger," Sheehan said. She used the same epithet to describe Sen. John McCain, a Vietnam veteran who has supported the war in Iraq, after a meeting with him Wednesday.

"She just expounded on the talking points of the Republican Party," Sheehan said after visiting Dole's office. "She's 100 percent on board with the war and I'm 100 percent against the war."

Dole told The Charlotte Observer that she began by expressing her sympathy for the loss of Sheehan's son, Casey, a soldier who was killed in Iraq.

But Dole said she also told Sheehan that her "name-calling of the president and discrediting the war -- that's not helpful, that kind of language It's harmful for the morale of the troops."

Sheehan's conference with Dole was one of several scheduled this week as part of her campaign to persuade members of Congress to explain the reasons for the war. She spoke before a massive anti-war rally Saturday on the National Mall and was arrested Monday demonstrating in front of the White House.

Dole said she told Sheehan about Saddam Hussein's record in Iraq of raping and gassing his own people, reminded her that he had ignored multiple United Nations resolutions. Dole said that Iraq had become a breeding ground for terrorists, so it was necessary to fight the war.

Sheehan said Saddam bought the weapons he used on his own people in the 1980s after U.S. aid allowed Iraq to buy arms instead of food.

Dole said she believed she answered all of Sheehan's questions.

"She stays on the Republican message and gave the president's key talking points (and) she did not answer one question that I asked," Sheehan told the Winston-Salem Journal.

"why are any republicans legitmizing this woman by giving her the time of day?"

To be "bipartisan." Basically, they want this woman to be the image of the Democratic Party in 2006 and 2008.

Claim: Cindy Sheehan's son, Casey, was raised by her ex-husband after the couple divorced and both remarried.

har har...

For the life of me I do NOT understand why any public official is giving this woman one minute of their time. This woman is psychotic and I do not think they are helping in any way, shape or form, by "meeting" with her. They are not the medicine, nor the cure, this woman desperately needs. A rubber room would be more beneficial, IMHO.

I don't believe that scenario is correct. Cindy is getting a divorce from Patrick Sheehan, who is Casey's father as far as I know. The more likely scenario that I heard was that Cindy and Patrick married young and had their kids - then Cindy left to "find herself" and didn't have much impact on their lives. She came back a few years ago.

Now, I have not seen this verified by a reliable source anywhere. Supposedly, it came from another family who knew the Sheehan's in Vacaville.

Cindy Sheehan is full of hate, and in desperate need of an attitude adjustment!   Maybe about a two year supply of Viagra, and an idiot like herself to get some sweetness back in her life.

Why is this woman in the Senate?

Thank the NCGOP, bmw.

I guess I should have voted for Irksome Bowels?

I told the kids in the Blockbuster store that I was getting sick and tired of all the American bashing. It felt good!

Bravo for you! More and more people need to speak up and tell these jerks they are as boring as all get out and dumber than dirt.
