Please add Cindy quotes--with links. It might help get the truth out about this anti-American propagandist.
"As long as our young people are being lied to and used so dishonorably in an unjust invasion and occupation of another country; as long as they are fighting for a corrupt government and still without the proper equipment, food, training, or leadership; as long as moms are having to hold bake sales to buy their sons body armor; as long as our soldiers are being held against their wills long after they have done their duty; as long as they are being sent to kill innocent people; military service should be opposed. Let’s affirm life in the fullest for everybody: the unfortunate, uncounted people living Iraq who are "acceptable" collateral damage to the war hawks, and our own indispensable loved ones. The only way to support our troops is to bring them home from this mess – now."

Even if one agrees with some or part of her screed, how can you place 60 years of U.S. foreign policy solely at the feet of President Bush?

In a perfect world, Sheehan and all her fellow ideologues would all be at ground zero when the first Iranian terror nuke hits.
I think she is just trying to get a seat on Jane Fonda's bus.
Hey Cindy, take a sec and read this article from last year. A jog your memory kind of thing.

Bush, Sheehans share moments
By David Henson/Staff Writer
Since learning in April that their son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, had been killed in Iraq, life has been everything but normal for the Sheehan family of Vacaville.
Casey's parents, Cindy and Patrick, as well as their three children, have attended event after event honoring the soldier both locally and abroad, received countless letters of support and fielded questions from reporters across the country.
"That's the way our whole lives have been since April 4," Patrick said. "It's been surreal."
But none of that prepared the family for the message left on their answering machine last week, inviting them to have a face-to-face meeting with President George W. Bush at Fort Lewis near Seattle.
Surreal soon seemed like an understatement, as the Sheehans - one of 17 families who met Thursday with Bush - were whisked in a matter of days to the Army post and given the VIP treatment from the military. But as their meeting with the president approached, the family was faced with a dilemma as to what to say when faced with Casey's commander-in-chief.
"We haven't been happy with the way the war has been handled," Cindy said. "The president has changed his reasons for being over there every time a reason is proven false or an objective reached."
The 10 minutes of face time with the president could have given the family a chance to vent their frustrations or ask Bush some of the difficult questions they have been asking themselves, such as whether Casey's sacrifice would make the world a safer place.
But in the end, the family decided against such talk, deferring to how they believed Casey would have wanted them to act. In addition, Pat noted that Bush wasn't stumping for votes or trying to gain a political edge for the upcoming election.
"We have a lot of respect for the office of the president, and I have a new respect for him because he was sincere and he didn't have to take the time to meet with us," Pat said.
Sincerity was something Cindy had hoped to find in the meeting. Shortly after Casey died, Bush sent the family a form letter expressing his condolences, and Cindy said she felt it was an impersonal gesture.
"I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis," Cindy said after their meeting. "I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith."
The meeting didn't last long, but in their time with Bush, Cindy spoke about Casey and asked the president to make her son's sacrifice count for something. They also spoke of their faith.
While meeting with Bush, as well as Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, was an honor, it was almost a tangent benefit of the trip. The Sheehans said they enjoyed meeting the other families of fallen soldiers, sharing stories, contact information, grief and support.
For some, grief was still visceral and raw, while for others it had melted into the background of their lives, the pain as common as breathing. Cindy said she saw her reflection in the troubled eyes of each.
"It's hard to lose a son," she said. "But we (all) lost a son in the Iraqi war."
The trip had one benefit that none of the Sheehans expected.
For a moment, life returned to the way it was before Casey died. They laughed, joked and bickered playfully as they briefly toured Seattle.
For the first time in 11 weeks, they felt whole again.
"That was the gift the president gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together," Cindy said.

The scary part is she's allowed to vote.
"We began the killing as soon as we stepped foot on these shores and the
killing has gone on unabated for over 200 years."
"There has always been excuses for wars, but NONE of them have been good or valid."
Cindy, it allows your sorry arse to protest in Crawford, TX, and it's taken much sacrifice and blood to allow you to do this, so do not lecture this country on our heritage!
She has all of the Code Pink talking points down pat.
"None of our wars have been for a good cause"
"Neocons"
"Rumsfeld"
"Oil"
"Make friends rich"
"Israel"
"Hitler"
By the way, what is PNAC?
Oh my goodness, I never noticed that before. She's actually from cow-ville. How very appropriate!
I'm starting to think that the more she talks the more she's making herself a non-issue, so let her talk away.
what a freak!
Her son IS a true hero. How he joined the military after her filling his head with propaganda, is testament to his character. I honor his ultimate sacrifice, made for my, my family's, and my country's safety. I acknowledge and honor him for the sacrifice he made so the Iraqi people no longer have to live under Saddam Huessein's brutal dictatorship; which consisted of among other things, rape and torture of men, women, and children.
I honor him for the sacrifice he made so that one country in the Muslim world can have a chance at living in a democracy , so that Muslims can have a taste of freedom and know another way of life beside oppression.
I honor him, because when he was called to go to Iraq, to serve our country, he didn't run away to Canada, as I'm sure his mother wanted him to. He went and he paid the ultimate price.
It's sad that his mother refuses to honor him, and associates herself with people who hate our military and wish them dead, like Michael Moore, whose film is a propaganda tool to recruit terrorists.
I wonder if she ever called her son a baby killer, "killer of innocent people" because he joined the military?
I would love to sit her down with photo's and film of what went on under Saddam's reign. Let her talk to survivors of Saddam's brutality. Also, many, many, Al Queda terrorists were hiding in Baghdad when Saddam was in charge. But, it would be a waste of time. It's obvious from her statements that she is too far gone to be reasoned with.
She has no respect for her son. If she did, she would take time to find out why he joined the military in the first place. (He joined after 9/11.) Just maybe there is another explanation for what's happening in Iraq, besides what is being fed to her by the radical left, anti-Americans.
You'd think she'd at least acknowledge that he loved this country enough to volunteer to serve. I would to ask her if she thinks her son is proud of what she's doing. I'm sure she'd say "yes he is" because it's all about her.
Too bad she doesn't have enough regard for her son to consider the possibility that he wasn't a stupid , duped, moron/idiot, and also brutal "killer of innocent people" , who died in Iraq for no reason i.e. he was killed while carrying out the evil plans of president Bush.
Maybe he was an honorable person, who made a commitment to serve and protect our nation, followed through on it, and then made the ultimate sacrifice, in an noble cause.
Prayers for her that she is given discernment, wisdom, and understanding about what she is doing, and that she is healed and her spirit restored. Amen
