US Activists, Iraqi Lawmakers Demand US Troop Withdrawal

Saturday August 5th, 2006

AMMAN (AP)--"Peace mom" Cindy Sheehan, Tom Hayden and 13 other U.S. activists on Saturday joined Iraqi lawmakers in demanding a timetable be fixed for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq.

"I'm optimistic that the majority of the American people want a withdrawal sooner, rather than later," Hayden, a former California state senator told reporters in the Jordanian capital after talks with seven Iraqi Shiite and Sunni lawmakers.

"It's going to be an important issue in the Congressional elections and the (2008) presidential campaign has already begun," he said.

About half of the activists will head to Syria on Sunday and Lebanon on Monday to "assess the humanitarian crisis" caused by the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah over the past 25 days, killing hundreds and displacing hundreds of thousands. Neither Sheehan, who returned earlier Saturday to the U.S., nor Hayden would be part of the team.

Hayden wondered whether the Lebanon conflict was "a desperate effort by the Israeli and U.S. neoconservatives to escalate their way out of defeat in Iraq before the November elections."

"Are they trying to scramble and subdivide the whole Middle East? Do they hope this escalates into a conflict with Syria and Iran which some of them want," he said.

The activists, representing the largest U.S. anti-war coalition, United for Peace and Justice; the national woman's peace group, CODEPINK; and Global Exchange, arrived in Jordan Thursday for two days of talks with the Iraqi members of parliament.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki refused to meet the activists during last month's talks with U.S. President George W. Bush in Washington in which he asked for more U.S. troops and finance for his beleaguered government.

Salman al-Jumaili who is the speaker of the largest Sunni coalition in the Iraqi parliament and his Shiite counterpart, Jabar Habib Jabar, joined the activists in issuing three demands: a fixed timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops; a commitment not to have permanent U.S. bases in Iraq; and a commitment by the U.S. government to "pay for rebuilding Iraq."

"We have found a voice inside the U.S. that backs us. We told them that we in Iraq want to see the light at the end of the tunnel," al-Jumaili told reporters.

On Thursday, two of the Pentagon's most senior generals, Gen. John Abizaid, the top U.S. commander in the Middle East, and Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned Congress that Iraq could move toward civil war if the violence raging in Baghdad between Sunni and Shiite Muslims continued.

U.S. officials have been pressing Prime Minister al-Maliki, a Shiite, to disband the Shiite militias and make overtures to Sunni insurgent groups saying restoring security in Baghdad is essential if the government is to survive.

Hayden called Iraq "a gradual shrinking space for the Bush administration."

This sure is news. America-haters demanding we surrender to our enemies.

No word about Cindy's (already broken) fast. Alas.

Note this from the Sunni (terrorist) al-Jumaili:

"We have found a voice inside the U.S. that backs us."

Yes, they sure have. And terrorists everywhere.

So they're worried about the Jews. I'm surprised Jihad Cindy and her ilk still haven't visited Tel Aviv to discover the Elders Of Zion pulling the puppet strings behind the Middle East violence.

(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)

These morons have their own foreign policy now? They don't speak for me or the rest of America.

"I am sure her check from Soros comes regularly."

Soros, the "grey eminence" behind the left. It amazes me that the people who rant about the wealthy running the World are all too willing to take their handouts from this guy. And he is the prototypical international money-changer.

No, as I said in an earlier reply, it's a "file photo" from the Sept 24, 2005 rally in DC.

OK, that explains the Uncle Sam stilt walker in the background.

[Doctor Raoul]

Good Lord, what is that hideous creature to Sindy's left?

Jodie Evans.

[Doctor Raoul]

Does anyone know who her "handler" or "manager" is. She's obviously not savvy enough to arrange all her appearances, her travel and lodging, and so on. Someone is pulling all the strings for her, and she's just the wooden head puppet.

For this trip, Code Pink. Most of it is Code Pink. Sometimes they lend her out to Veterans For Peace.

OR ELSE!!

[DoughtyOne]

Oh hell, I'll censor myself on this one. If I wrote what I was really thinking it would be inappropriate.

[Smartass]

 

[potlatch]

LOL, a match made in 'HELL-AH'!

[Smartass]

I think they'd make a great pair...
Cindy'd look great in a Burga and living in a cave.

     
Support the war on terror

Thanks for the ping.

Just when you think that she can't possibly get any more vile, she does.

"Weirdly, there haven't been any photos of her out of Jordan yet.

I guess they're still staging them.

I remember when John Lennon and Yoko Ono did a sleep in for world peace in a Montreal hotel room in 1969.

In keeping with the notoriety of that event, the Ditch Witch is planning a sleep in with Jordan's King Abdullah II and his wife, Rania. Photos of the event will be sent world wide to show their protest of Israel's killing of innocent men women and children and war crimes against humanity.

Other photos will include the Ditch Witch pushing a remote button that will ignite a Katyusha rocket somewhere in Lebanon.

The Ditch Witch learned how to do belly dancing especially for the trip. She plans a belly dance for peace to be performed for Prime Minister Marouf al-Bakhit of Jordan.

Ha ha ha!

Wull, what'na Sam Hill's goin on here???

[SierraWasp]

Except this "mother" is just a plain ol garden variety "Ding Bat!" (wearin that old anti-Christ peace symbol too, I see!)

[sasha123]

I think she's in Texas now. I just read an article about an anti-sheehan visitor telling sheehan that she was not patriotic. They kicked him out.

(did she really go to Jordan?) She's really not that important, even as an icon, (She's really a cartoon). I can't see any Muslim official wasting time with her, especially, considering they are already want to keep women in their place, not to mention an American women.
