Peace Mom's Grim Death-Toll Vow

WASHINGTON - Peace mom Cindy Sheehan vows to tie herself to the White House gates when the U.S. death toll in Iraq hits 2,000.

"I'm going to give a speech at the White House, and after I do, I'm going to tie myself to the fence and refuse to leave until they agree to bring our troops home," she said in an interview published yesterday by Reuters.

"I'll probably get arrested, and when I get out, I'll go back and do the same thing," she added....

They need to drop the "Peace Mom" bit and start calling her what she is, anti-war activist, among other things that would just get me into trouble.

Cool maybe sombody will come by and give her some lighter fluid and a match so she can really make her point.

Not that I am for burning witches at the stake - but "wosting a wadical" on the white House fence that holds some promise.

No need for that... just set up a 75 foot perimeter around her and leave her there.

She really does miss the point... everyone has said we will bring the troops home, it is just not NOW...

I guess she misses the media coverage too much

And this just shows what a publicity stunt this is.

If she really believes this, she should chain herself to the gates right now. If she thinks she can make a difference, then she should start right away - and not wait for people to die before she makes her stand.

1999 are allowed to die, before she'll make her new protest.

Yeah, and Alec Baldwin is going to leave the country.

She needs the treatment the pediatrician recommended when my daughter was two years old and began to throw temper tantrums-throw cold water over her and walk away. This loon just wants (more) attention, and doesn't care if it is the negative variety-she doesn't realize her 15 minutes have been up for weeks...

That's what I was thinking.  Haven't heard her mentioned in the media for quite some time.  She is probably desperate to get that beak back on TV.  I wonder if she tapes the news every time she is on.  Puts me in mind of someone that does.

She is really disgusting, IMHO.

In the sick warped minds of Code PINK and AFSC, this is a GREAT idea. The same thinking has them believing that protesting the war at military hospitals is also a great idea.

If you notice, a lot of their signs do not make sense. It is because all they have done is modify the ones reflecting their real core beliefs and their core beliefs do not include supporting the troops.

But they have to hide who they are and what they believe because America won't buy into that.

She's going to be committed to a mental institution one of these days.

Hmmm...if it happens today she'll be out there in 40 degree pouring rain.

That would be nice.

Will she go tie herself to Ground Zero? The death toll there has already surpassed 3,000.

set up a 75 foot perimeter around her and leave her there.

And make sure she has no access to the press. When she protests, explain that she's just being "protected."

Perfect!
