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.

She has no chance at winning and we can now use this statement to further our point that Dems. root for the enemy.

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.

There is a whole lot of this going around lately, and they are getting away with it.

The problem is many of these elected officials have ties with various military groups.
