In Search of Peace with Cindy SheehanIn Search of Peace with Cindy Sheehan Thank you for your comments, thoughts and feedback. Intelligent counterpoints welcome. Any abusive or profane submissions will be deleted. No Taxation without RepresentationI have about had it! The Bush Criminal Mob is asking Congress for $123 billion more dollars to fund their total demolition of Iraq and their future crime sprees in such places as Iran and perhaps, Syria. Read more... White Hot RageI have long suspected that Blackwater Security and L. Paul Bremer (what’s his nickname? Scooter? Pookie?) were responsible for the insurgency in Iraq and subsequently the death of my son, Casey. I am reading Jeremy Scahill’s new book: Blackwater and it is doing nothing to decrease my suspicions, only confirm them. Read more... Mission Tragically AccomplishedWhen pilot-boy, George landed on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, which was moored a few miles from San Diego on May 1st, 2003, he declared an “end” to major combat in Iraq. Imagine, even after all of the havoc already wreaked in Iraq, how relieved that I, a mother of a soldier was. Little did I know how much more havoc George still had up his sleeve. Read more... Vermont: Land of HopeMy recent trip to Turkey opened my eyes further to anti-American hatred. As more and more people in the occupied countries of Afghanistan and Iraq are being killed by American troops or by violence that didn’t exist before America existed in their countries, the intensity of the hostility is escalating along with the escalating violence. At a “peace” conference that I attended in Istanbul I was appalled when attendee after attendee rose up from the audience to commend my fellow panelist, an Iraqi scientist, on the insurgency in Iraq which was giving the world “hope” by staving off the self entitled “mightiest military in history”. I was as appalled because a violent insurgency was applauded as I am appalled that a violent regime in DC is still in power to continue devastating the world which encourages people to place their hope in the Iraqi resistance.

Open Letter to the Wife of the 'President' of the United StatesDear Laura, It has been quite awhile since I have written to you “mother to mother.” A lot of water has gone under that proverbial bridge, huh? Remember, I wrote to you in August of 2005, urging you then to assert any influence that you may have over your husband to help us bring America’s sons and daughters home from Iraq. Many women at Camp Casey and around the world wrote to you also and those letters were delivered to your ranch on a very hot August day. You didn’t answer me then, and judging by past unanswered letters to your husband and his mother, you probably won’t answer me now. I have to try anyway. Read more... Iraqis are People, tooAfter spending two heart wrenching hours listening to two Iraqi gentlemen, one an educator, one a scientist, giving agonizing testimony about what is really going on in Iraq (outside the Green Zone), in Istanbul, I returned to my nearby hotel room and read something from the AP that tore my heart apart even further. Read more... More Reich-Wing Horse PuckyKarl Rove and his manipulative, behind the scenes machinations continue even though he had to resign in disgrace from BushCo. Also, the willing tools of the Republican killing machine, including Karl Rove, with whom they have formed an unholy alliance, Move America Forward, are helping Rove whip a group called “Gathering of Eagles” into a frenzy over something that is not and was not ever going to occur. Okay, I am not sure that Karl Rove started this particular pile of horse pucky, but it sure has his stank all over it, so we are going to pretend for the sake of argument that it was Karl, or someone just like him. BushCo employees Roves like McDonald’s employs fry cooks. Read more... Mistakes, Mismanagement and MoveOn, Slowly Bleeding to DeathSenator John McCain: “We are paying a very heavy price for the mismanagement — that’s the kindest word I can give you — of Donald Rumsfeld, of this war. The price is very, very heavy and I regret it enormously.” Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton: "I take responsibility for my vote. It was a sincere vote based on the facts and assurances we had at the time. Obviously I would not vote that way again if we knew then what we know now.” Read more... Money Trumps Peace...SometimesIt is always painful to watch George stumble his way through press conferences. He can’t get through a sentence without at least two-three “uhs,” his eye lids flutter up and down in what my daughter, Carly, calls the “liar’s blink” and just because it is painful that a human like that is ostensibly the leader of the free world. There is always a plethora of things that he says, does, or screws up on to write about but this time what caught my attention happened during the Q & A. George was asked if he thought the economic sanctions on Iran would work because so many European nations trade with that country. Read more... Rightest America HatersI have received this warning in my in-box from friends who are telling me to "be careful:" February 08, 2007 Protecting the Vietnam Memorial from Leftist America Haters Apparently Saint Cindy "my firstborn was killed for the PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel"* Sheehan is going to march on the Vietnam Memorial with Hanoi Jane in order to protest the Iraq War. Unfortunately, she will be met by patriotic American Vets. And by patriotic, I mean the kind that actually root for the U.S. to win its wars. U.S. Veterans Dispatch: Read more...
