Cindy Sheehan has already won. |
|
If Shrub remains hidden - he's publicly exposed as a coward; to afraid to meet with a dead soldier's Mother. And the WHOLE world is watching his craven behavior. Here in Germany, people around me are very much aware of what's happening in Crawford.
If Shrub (finally) comes out of hiding - Ms. Sheehan forced his hand. One person would have brought Shrub to heel.
Either way - Cindy Sheehan has already won.
I sent my card of support.
I wish I could stand with her in Crawford.
This is a defining moment.

1. That's why they need to make her a "Terra-ist" |
|
They will classify her as a national security threat and send her off to a concentration camp with no access to a lawyer just like Jose Pedilla.
And then all the stories will come out about how this was an attempt to physically assault the Resident.

32. Bush has to squash Cindy problem NOW! as outrage grows! |
|
this slimebag of a President hasn't the understanding or compassion to show to this very courageous woman.
He states her sons "sacrifice was for a noble cause"??? and is about to have her arrested? -- He works for her and for us, we pay this mans salary with health benefits! This is the character in which this President is made of.

or they'll make her out to be crazy or something. I know I've mentioned before but in the documentary "Unfinished Symphony" the reason they gave the veterans for not sleeping on the grass where the British fought in Lexington is because they were worried about their "mental" health. :eyes:

for Bush** in this one. If he were capable of feeling something and expressing it he might be able to pull it off but since we all know that no matter what he says or does it will fail it leaves him with no way to win. She stated from the beginning that she was ready to be arrested if it came to that so she won right out of the gate.

Are you all coming back? I heard a news report that the soldiers in Germany were all coming back to Ft. Riley. I have been having computer problems so I can't find it again to check out what all it said but I immediately thought of you.

Boo for me. I was hoping that we could have met before you left but it just was not to be I guess. I have a cousin who lived in Germany, sang opera, and she loved it there. I also have a friend who has lived there to sing opera for many many years. She will be home to sing with us in September. She loves it there too.

our original 3 year stay...to finish out his contract and retire. IF they allow us to leave.
That's the biggest depend. It's really hard making plans for the future when you don't know if you're getting out or not.

"the shrubistas have to use helicopters in and out of the pig farm to avoid a middle aged woman with a broken heart and a will of steel standing in a ditch in the blazing Texas sun"
SHE is showing THEM what type of character and integrity a President ought to have. Can we have a REAL President, now? Even if Cindy didn't want the job...can we at least get someone with some intelligence and a CLUE? I never thought THAT'd be too much to ask in a leader but apparently it is.
She's making that piss-poor excuse for a human look REALLY BAD. And, Well. He IS.

25. Yes, Cindy has already won no matter what happens because |
|
the Dimson was outsmarted and can't handle PR because he has no compassion for anybody. Everytime he tries to show it, he comes off looking like he's hating it. I remember when he and Laura walked up to Reagan's casket, they bowed their heads, and I swear 5 seconds later he looks at her, throws up both hands as if to say "that's all I got", and the picture of him walking away from placing a wreath I believe for the people of England, the look on his face was "Shit, I hate this stuff". He's cold and callous, and we don't need him to be president of a country that prides itself in its compassion.
