How to stop a war.

Go to the president's home. Stand there for several months while holding signs. Eat something other than turkey for Thanksgiving.

Upon completion of these conditions, the world will waver and bow to your demands.

t's an Iraqi-style meal to eat in solidarity with the Iraqi people who are dying there

How about showing some solidarity with the grateful living?

[pcottraux]

Funny how they are eating traditional "Iraqi meals" in "solidarity with the Iraqis who are dying" when...they opposed removing Saddam, who was slaughtering more Iraqis than we ever could, and they are campaigning for us to leave the Iraqis in the hands of Al-Sadr or Zarqawi.

Hey you, stop that thinking! Right this instance!

[martin_fierro]

Otter: No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile 
and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.

D-Day: Let's do it.

Bluto: LET'S DO IT!

Unbelievable, I am absolutely speechless! But I am glad you posted this, just to see how crazy these people are. I honestly think these people have smoked just a few to many.

“The idea is that it's an Iraqi-style meal to eat in solidarity with the Iraqi people who are dying there,” said Linda Foley, a protester from Azle. “We're not having the traditional indulgent American dinner.”

How's this for solidarity with the Iraqi people - have a 'freedom fighter' from the 'noble Iraqi resistance' blow the whole thing up.

[Tzimisce]

.......who is PAYING for all this?????

I'm serious. These people obviously have NO JOBS but they drive around in limos, fly around in private jets and eat expensive meals????

I would really like to know who is backing these people.

And they can hand out booby-trapped toys for Christmas while they're at it, just like their "heros."

"plates piled high with rice, fish, lentils, feta cheese and salad, protesters ate and talked "

Far cry from their usual roots, leaves, twigs or berries...

[OKIEDOC]

I doubt if Windy Shenanigan knows how to fix a real turkey.

I wonder if they also celebrated by having one of their ilk bugger a little boy as many rich Arabs like to do while celebrating.

These people are beyond nuts and fruits, their dangerous to America and to the general public.

“The idea is that it's an Iraqi-style meal to eat in solidarity with the Iraqi people who are dying there,”

I'm glad that they're brave enough to protest. Another thirty odd innocent civilians were killed today at a hospital bombing, and it's good to know that these acts are recieving the condemnation that they deserve.

(They are protesting Al Qaida in Iraq, right?)

[flying Elvis]

I guess it never occurred to them that all Iraqis can now eat meals free of the fear of starvation by an evil dictator.

“I think even with this demonstration, we aren't going to end this war quickly,” Ellsberg said. “But we're doing the right thing.”

... as if they actually mattered.

The delusion levels are hitting brain explosion levels. Oh wait... that already happened last election... oooo. Too bad.

The worst part about this is that these protestors spit on the very freedom that our military men and women are serving to protect for them.... How many dirty bomb attacks in the U.S. have been twarted. How many subway Sarin attacks or tunnels and bridges blown up in the U.S. at the hands of Al-Quida have been defeated. Thankfully we will never know because we have a strong leader in the White House. Where are the pundits who predicted multiple strikes by terrorists post 911. Pointing fingers and blame at the man who stood by this nation when it was wounded. How embarassing for America. We fight in Iraq so our children can go to school everyday and be safe. We fight for the very freedoms that give these liberal hypocrites the right to protest.

“We're not having the traditional indulgent American dinner.”

Their time would be better spent studying the history of our own country. If they want true solidarity, they should pack their bags and go to Iraq. I believe they would be in for a rude awakening that the average Iraqi would not feel the least bit of kinship toward them. While Cindy "grieves" her own loss, perhaps it would be eye-opening to her to go visit some of the families that were brutally murdered by the previous regime.

Better yet, perhaps there are Iraqis in this country that have families that lived under the oppression of Sadaam and the Bathist party. Maybe they should be flown to Texas and shatter the misconception of "solidarity" with the Iraqi people. Maybe they can do a reenactment of men, woman, and children dying with chemical weapons. Perhaps a reenactment of the Iraqi citizen put through a tree grinder.

This was no peace demonstration. The media needs to get it straight. This was a demonstration of fools. These are hateful people that work under the guise of peace. They ignor the good fortune of their right to protest due to the loss of many lives in history. Casey Sheehan was one of many who died to keep our world safer. He died to give the Iraqi people the chance to enjoy the freedom that we all do. It's sad that his mother just doesn't get it.

“The idea is that it's an Iraqi-style meal to eat in solidarity with the Iraqi people who are dying there,”

There are people dying all over the world including the US. How about some solidarity for our guys?

And what kind of solidarity is this? To demand we abandon Iraqis to the Jihad Terrorists???

That's solidarity?

sol·i·dar·i·ty ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sl-dr-t)
n.
A union of interests, purposes, or sympathies among members of a group; fellowship of responsibilities and interests: “A downtrodden class... will never be able to make an effective protest until it achieves solidarity” (H.G. Wells).

Again, what UNION of interests, purpose or sympathies between Iraqis and these LibIdiots is there, when every poll taken in Iraq has shown they are glad Saddam is gone and want the US to stay and help secure their nation against terrorist domination...?

The only UNION OF INTERESTS the LibIdiots have is with the Terrorists who desperately want us out of Iraq and thereby have America defeated. The LibIdiots because they have an insane hatred for a man called George W. Bush (as well as those who voted for him) and the Terrorists who have an insane hatred for all non fanatical muslims.

If the LibIdiots really wanted to show solidarity with the IRAQI people then they would ship themselves to western Pakistan where the Terrorists are in control. Since Terrorist control is what they insist for the Iraqis then they should live under Terrorists themselves.

I don't think too many LibIdiots will be buying that plane ticket soon, there hasn't been one yet.
