Or maybe stay on his little boat...

This morning the anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan -- the woman who spent so much time leading well-publicized protests outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas -- announced that she will demonstrate next week at Martha's Vineyard, where President Obama will be vacationing. "There are several things that we wish to accomplish with this protest on Martha's Vineyard," Sheehan said in a statement:
"First of all, no good social or economic change will come about with the continuation or escalation of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. We simply can't afford to continue this tragically expensive foreign policy.
Secondly, we as a movement need to continue calling for an immediate end to the occupations even when there is a Democrat in the Oval Office. There is still no Noble Cause no matter how we examine the policies.
Thirdly, the body bags aren't taking a vacation and as the U.S.-led violence surges in Afghanistan and Pakistan, so are the needless deaths on every side.
And, finally, if the right-wing can force the government to drop any kind of public option or government supported health care, then we need to exert the same kind of pressure to force a speedy end to the occupations."
Will Sheehan's stay in Massachusetts attract as much attention as her time in Texas? Probably not. Even the left wing of the Democratic party seems unconcerned with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan these days, compared to their bitter opposition during Bush's time in office. It seems unlikely that reporters who paid so much attention to one woman's crusade against the war will find much time on their newscasts or space in their paper to cover this one.
I wonder if the ex-Mr Laurie David will down at 5 corners holding a sign?
They will act appropriately.
oh, ick.
She forgot something very important: other young men/women parents must suffer the memory of their kids dying in war zone under the illegal command of the Liar-in-chief.
Can’t stand her at all but at least she is consistent. Since Obama has been in it seems all those opposed to the war have gone silent.
Perhaps John Kerry wants to go strange and will let her shack up at his place.
Yet another “useful idiot” reaches the end of her useful life.
It’s gotta hurt. I feel so bad for her, poor thing. :-)
She is a real idiot.
>> Perhaps John Kerry wants to go strange and will let her shack up at his place.
Even thinking about that as an abstract concept gives me nausea and a pounding headache.
Or maybe stay on his little boat...
The MSM cover her protesting Obama??? Hell, it wouldn’t surprise me if they actually threw rocks at her.
” Since Obama has been in it seems all those opposed to the war have gone silent.”
.....ain’t that the truth...Obama is sending more troops...if that had been Bush the Left and MSM would be pulling their hair out.
Will she be wearing a tee shirt?
yeah, should be neat seeing them fight with lobsters with butter splattering everywhere...such the life when commie hypocrits fight.
Nope — I think you missed the memo-
AS soon as cindy went campaigning against the Demon
party (she ran against Pelosi)- the MSM has ignored her.
Even when her campaign offices were trashed/vandalized-
there was not a peep out of the MSM.
Jesse Jackson hug- not anymore.
pictures and events thrown by the Demon party and
the MSM- will never happen again.
During her divorce- her husband claimed she was being
subsidi$$$ed big time- just waiting for the Gubmint to
audit her.
” Perhaps John Kerry wants to go strange “
Kerry is on crutches because he rushed out and got hip surgery before Obamacare passes.
He knew that a 65 yr old with hip problems and a history of prostate cancer would get a thumb’s down from Barry.
I’m kinda with Cindy on this.
Barry has tied the hands of the military in Afghanistan-he’s not in it to win it.
He has no military background and no interest in victory.
And Barry’s Afghanistan ROE’s will not defeat the enemy,but,just get more US soldiers and Marines killed.
I call it his “ Boo and Shoo “ strategy of war.
” A new military approach in Afghanistan may mean buzzing rather than bombing the enemy,
according to the general taking over the air war there.”
“The first thing we do is fly over head,
and the bad guys know airpower is in place and oftentimes that’s enough.
That ends the fight, they vamoose,”
said Lt General Gilmary Hostage,
now in charge of Obama’s kinder, gentler air war ( ? ) over Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Hostage says the Air Force can easily drop bombs with pinpoint accuracy.
But in some cases, it may be better to fly over enemy forces with noisy warplanes to get them to disperse first,.”
Lt General Hostage quotes General McChrystal ordering-
“If you are in a situation where there’s a civilian at risk,
he’d rather have us back away
than pressing to engage the enemy and
run the risk of damaging or hurting somebody.”
Barry is just using our troops as bait , he doesn’t have a clue at best.
Or he prefers giving the Taliban an advantage.
Or both.
Bring the troops home until we get a real Commander in Chief.
