Madrid, Aug 30 (Prensa Latina) "My son Casey was killed by Bush and his insane, cruel and arrogant foreign policy", denounced Cindy Sheehan, a brave mother who does not forgive The US President for causing a war based on lies. Sheehan, a symbol of the current anti warmongering, gave a heartbreaking interview Tuesday to a journalist from the Spanish newspaper El Pais, in which she warns the president he is not listening to those opposing the war against Iraq.

CRAWFORD, Texas - Even when she was in California taking care of her mother, Cindy Sheehan said part of her remained at the protest campsite she had set up outside President Bush's ranch. On Wednesday, Sheehan returned to "Camp Casey," named after her 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who was killed last year in Iraq. "This is where I belong, until Aug. 31, like I told the president," Sheehan said at the Waco airport before driving about 20 miles to the Crawford site. When Sheehan arrived at the campsite, she saw a large banner depicting her son's face. She...

I'm coming back to Crawford for my son. As long as the president, who sent him to die in a senseless war, is in Crawford, that is where I belong. I came here two and a half weeks ago for one reason, to try and see the president and get an answer to a very simple question: What is the noble cause that he says my son died for? The answer to that question will not bring my son back. But it may stop more meaningless deaths. Because every death is now a meaningless one. And the vast majority of...

Statement by Former Ambassador Joseph Wilson August 22nd, 2005 The Bush White House and its right wing allies are responding to Cindy Sheehan and the military families’ vigil in Central Texas in the same way that they always respond to bad news –by unleashing personal attacks and smears against her. This White House never wants an open public discussion, and it certainly never wants to be told that it is wrong. It always tries to change the message by attacking the messenger. They did it with former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill when he wrote a book that suggested that the...

My Response to George as he Speaks From his Vacation Away From his Vacation "President Bush charged Tuesday that anti-war protesters like Cindy Sheehan who want troops brought home immediately do not represent the views of most U.S. military families and are 'advocating a policy that would weaken the United States.'" Bringing our troops home from the quagmire that he has gotten us into will be weakening the United States? George: even if you pretend you didn't know that Saddam did not have weapons of mass destruction and Iraq was not threat to the USA before you invaded, Americans know...

CONSERVATIVE TRUTH 08/22/05 "America Is Not Worth Dying For!" By Tom Barrett Publisher@ConservativeTruth.org "America is not worth dying for!" So said Cindy Sheehan in April of this year at a rally in support of Attorney Lynne Stewart, who was convicted of aiding and abetting terrorism. Some commentators have speculated that Sheehan is a political innocent being controlled by radical leftists such as Michael Moore. I say her words prove that she has become a radical leftist in her own right. Cindy Sheehan is the mother of Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, who died fighting for freedom in Iraq last year. Recently...

BlackFive Milblog (once again comes out with a tremendous piece. At a time when Cindy Sheehan is the darling of the MSM, a background on her son Casey from the men who served with him has been posted on the BlackFive blog.

The following is an excerpt, the entire piece can be read at BlackFive:(http://www.blackfive.net/) Army Specialist Casey Sheehan - Someone You Should (Have) Know(n) Casey Sheehan grew up in a devout Catholic home. He served as an altar boy and...

I have received dozens of emails with this heading: Go Home and Take Care of Your Kids. I think of all the name calling and unnecessary and untrue trashing of my character, this one offends me the most. What do the people who send me this message mean?

The Peaceful Occupation of Crawford (Day 14); Hypocrites and liars Saturday, August 20th, 2005 -- a message from Cindy Sheehan The media are wrong. The people who have come out to Camp Casey to help coordinate the press and events with me are not putting words in my mouth, they are taking words out of my mouth. I have been known for sometime as a person who speaks the truth and speaks it strongly. I have always called a liar a liar and a hypocrite a hypocrite. Now I am urged to use softer language to appeal to a wider...

Our confidence in the evanescence of Sheehanoia looks to have been well founded. Cindy Crawford--sorry, Sheehan--left Crawford, Texas, yesterday to deal with a family emergency: Sheehan . . . said her 74-year-old mother suffered a stroke. Sheehan said she and her sister were going to Los Angeles "to assess the situation" but that her supporters will continue her protest outside Bush's Texas home. "If I can, I'll be back. If I can't, I won't be back. But I will be back as soon as possible," Sheehan told reporters outside "Camp Casey," the protest site named for her son. We're guessing...
