Democrat Congressional Nominee Expresses Support for Iraqi "Insurgency"
Daily Kos ^ | Wednesday, August 23, 2006 | Kristinn

Posted on 08/23/2006 7:41:55 PM PDT by kristinn

Jeeni Criscenzo, Democratic Party nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives 49th California District seat currently held by Republican nominee Darrell Issa, wrote in a blog entry earlier this month from Amman, Jordan of her support for the so-called insurgency in Iraq.

Criscenzo went to Amman with leaders of the anti-American group Code Pink and Sixties activist Tom Hayden to conspire with a group of anti-American Iraqi parliamentarians.

On August 6, writing in her campaign Web site blog which is linked on the Daily Kos blog, Criscenzo said, "It is important to distinguish between the militia, or death squads and the resistance, particularly when considering the amnesty aspects of the Reconciliation Plan crafted in Cairo last month. Over 95% of the Iraqi people oppose the presence of the U.S. troops in their country and consider the people the U.S. call "insurgents" to be patriotic freedom fighters -- no different that (sic) how we look at the people who fought in our Revolutionary War. Heroic titles go to the victors and if justice is to ever come to the people of Iraq, the people we call insurgents will have to be recognized as the ones who are actually defending their homeland."

Criscenzo brought a film crew with her to Jordan to film campaign ads on the trip.

Hey, she's one of many I'm sure.

Only thing is she's dumb enough to admit it publicly.

Well if they only attacked the coalition soliders I guess someone could try to make that case. But most of the deaths are their fellow citizens of Iraq. As a result, this statement reveals incredible incompentency unbecoming of a U.S. government official.

Ah yes, the enemy within. If the FBI could get its thumb out they might consider an undercover assignment - this women will most likely lead agents to terrorist cells in California.

The Iraqi government, duly elected by the Iraqi people in free elections, has asked the U.S. to remain in the country and help defend Iraq from the "insurgents". The "insurgents" have no moral or legal grounds to stand on. They are terrorists pure and simple.

Don't blame her too much. She was just reading the Democratic party plan for the Iraq war. But she accidentally read the loud part quiet and the quiet part loud (with the loud part being that they don't have a plan).

In reality the Democrats do have a very concrete plan for the Iraq war: surrender and then pat the terrorists on the back.

Not that it's a bit surprising, but this is an outright lie, and she'll most likely get away with it.

Leftists can say whatever they want and never be called on it by ANYONE in the MSM.

It's nauseating.

The current gov't of Iraq was democratically elected. Just what are these "patriotic freedom fighters", these "homeland defenders" planning as their 'government', Ms. Criscenzo...hmmmm?

More from ImpeachPac.org's website...

Criscenzo has already been endorsed by the San Diego Imperial Counties Labor Council, Progressive Democrats of San Diego, Democracy for America Meetup #23 (San Diego), and Progressive Democrats of America (national).

Criscenzo has been a leading opponent of the Iraq War since before the invasion. She organized the Bring Their Buddies Home vigils as a non-confrontational way of showing people the human cost of war.

Her campaign website makes clear her opposition to criminal policies of the Bush regime.

She wrote a blog entry on March 6 [2006], advocating impeachment of Bush and Cheney. Criscenzo has also been campaigning lately wearing an "Impeach Bush" T-shirt.

In her blog, Criscenzo wrote: "If we go back to George Washington, American presidents have attached signing statements to laws a total of 322 times up until this president. George W. Bush has done it 435 times….George W. Bush is a dictator in president's clothing. He and his cabal have raped our Constitution, depleted our treasury, sent our kids to go kill and torture other people's kids for the personal enrichment of his cronies and left the poor people of New Orleans to die or become permanently displaced, conveniently remaking that diverse Democratic city, at one of the centers of the U.S. petrochemical industry, into a white, Republican stronghold.

"The future of our country is balancing on a precarious precipice. The Bush cabal is moving full-speed ahead in their plans to establish the Global Empire of Halliburton…. Our only chance to stop this nightmare is to take back Congress THIS YEAR. That means winning a majority in November AND making impeachment of Bush and Cheney our first priority."

Definitely a bad case of BDS!

Someone ought to DROP-KICK her right on out of the Congressional lineup!!

I went to the Oakland Airport to pick SFC Greg's younger brother and niece
coming in from Hawaii and so I took that opportunity to take 3 of my signs from our 2005 Crawford, Tx Trek...."Support the Troops" and "God Bless America" in support of our military. Those signs sure have alot of miles on them! HE HE HE! ; ))

I had sooo many people come up to me saying how much they appreciated the signs. One couple...A Navy man and wife, who worked at the VA Hospital was chatting with me about my Support of the our Troops when another lady came and proceeded to tell me how refreshing for to see me there holding up my signs, because when she got on the plane at HILO 'code pink' was there at the airport with all their SICKO retoric and signs!! That made me feel sooo goood that even though I can't for moment be in DC at Walter Reed with ya'll.....I was able to do my thing here in California-Bay Area right in the midst of DUMB DONK territory.

Although I only had one guy say to me, "Support the Troops, but impeach Bush" The Good comments by far outweighed that one negative comment.

GOD BLESS ALL THE DC FREEPERS and others that stand up TALL to the 'code pink' TRASH LOSERS at Walter Reed Hospital on Friday nights!!

Hey JC STFU.....

"94% of Iraqis said they support a "unity" government representing all sects and ethnic communities, with only 2% opposed. Some 78% of Iraqis opposed Iraq being segregated by religion or ethnicity, with only 13% in favor. Even in Baghdad, where the worst of Iraq's sectarian violence has occurred, 76% of those surveyed opposed ethnic separation, with only 10% favoring it."
