EXCELLENT writeup and pictures!
What a great successful event.
Thanks for the heads up.
Bump!
Frankly, it's shallow enough to suggest that other people should change course so you won't off yourself -- how much more so it is when you're just denying yourself food knowing good and well you will sustain eventually yourself regardless of others' reactions! What most of the "hunger strikers" are doing/have done is no more than what Hollywood actresses do in preparation for a role!
I propose that a new term be coined for a "hunger strike" that has an established life-saving finishing date: "Half-fast."
Fantastic report! It's always great when things get exciting! I'm glad so many service members and famlies came up to show their appreciation...that's great.
Thanks to all who participated.
Memo to Sindee:
That haircut looked bad enough of John Edwards. And he combed it.
The first time I ever cheered for ants at a picnic. Great job to all who participated :)
Is it just me, or is Shindy looking more and more like a man every day? No, I'm serious. Really, she looks like a man in these latest pics.
Thanks for the report!
I would like to see the info he is spouting.
Well, if you had made your request in a respectful manner, I would have been willing to ask him for you, but I think..................................not. He's kinda busy with the war & all.
I am sorry that you found my post disrespectful. There are many claiming to be soldiers, family of soldiers or just a recipient of an email from a soldier, so I asked for a source. Perhaps I wasn't as respectful as I should have been, so I'll try again.
Could you please ask him where he got the info that... Like many of America's troops, I was disheartened when I learned that Iraq was in fact not in violation of U.N. resolutions 687 & 1441 to nearly the extent that had been alleged.
Thank you for your input.
I just spilled soup down my front!!
LOL!

I will ask him but be aware that turn-around time, even for e-mail, can sometimes be quite lengthy, depending on what he's doing. I'll let you know what I find out.
She's just so brutally ... average ... in every conceivable way.
Moderates call it "reasonablypriceddom."
LOL!! I didn't have room in the report for the who approached us at their White House demonstration who believes she had a chip implanted in her head by the government during the Carter administration...
As of this demonstration, they were still eating. And planning to eat later that night. Hell, who hasn't spent a day in bed now and then eating nothing? I want to see some real starvation here, Pinko girls.
I totally agree. It is so offensive when groups like this with no human respect hold these "vigils" and "prayers." To whom do they pray?
Must give credit to Kristinn, who adapted the idea for the banner from WizBang.com, and also to [Mrs.] Trooprally for the great photo of the banner!
The law enforcement officers in DC deserve tremendous credit for handling protesters as fairly and dispassionately as they do. But I did get one of them to crack a tiny smile when I said, "Flowers for Ghandi, but if one of them saw George Washington walking down the street, they'd spit on him."
Kristinn brought a great sign that illustrated just how lame the media have been in their war coverage. It contrasted Sheehan's picture against Sgt. Paul Smith, the only Congressional Medal of Honor winner in the War on Terror, asking people to identify them both. Most people fail; even reporters. Here's a pic of it at an earlier FReep, the White House Correspondents' dinner in May:
