Did Sheehan go to Iraq?
Me

Posted on 08/26/2005 2:48:30 PM PDT by Mr. Silverback

In a WorldNetDaily account of Cindy's infamous "freedom fighters" interview, she is quoted as saying...

"It's a monstrosity," she said. "It was based on lies, and since it was based on lies, why are people still dying every day for lies? That's what they're dying for. And as soon as we get them out of the country, the insurgency will go down. They might have a little bit of trouble at first, but you know every Iraqi tells me, 'We're a civilization that has been around for thousands of years. We can handle our own problems.'"

Did Sheehan ever go to Iraq? I can't find any reference to it. If not, when has she supposedly been talking to a bunch of Iraqis?

And yes, I know she's lying, but what evidence is available?

Anybody got a thought on this?

I think she has been talking to Iraqis living here (the ones who agree with her, that is). She hasn't been to Iraq.

I talked to a bunch of Iraqi's in Dearborn, Michigan right after Saddam's statue fell in 2003. She probably means Iraqi-Americans.

Sounds like Kerry saying other world leaders wanted him to win.

i dont know for sure, but i do know that there's a guy ankarlo sub hosting for glenn beck, he is a local host in dallas. he says he's known about cindy for months, before this ever happened.
she and some other leftists opened up an "exhibit" with supposed boots from soldiers and shoes from children in iraq. turns out all the shoes and boots were fake, and from military surplus stores and goodwill, aside from her son's.

WHAT A LIAR

I believe the guy that runs 'Peace House' also runs an 'Iraqis against the War' group....obviously an impartial lot.

That would be my guess too. So in other words, she's talking to Iraqis who have fled Iraq, and who can offer absolutely no evidence to back up the fact that they can take care of their own civilization, as they are claiming.

She went to Iraq as a human shield and didn't make it back in one piece.

She probably does mean that... And to those Iraqi's (if this is a true story), it's real easy to "handle your own problems" while living in a country whose men and women are fighting over there to free YOUR countrymen...

Why doesn't that surprise me.

If she did she seriously needs to go back and make a home there. It's a b*tch living in a ditch.

Maybe she talked to them the same way Hillary has talked to Eleanor Roosevelt.

I think she's trying to say that she's met Iraqis here. I'm sure she's lying about this, but how do you prove it? It would be nice if we could show that she's been meeting with terrorists.
