This Woman Isn’t Nuts: She’s Just Another Lefty
Yep. There. I said it. Cindy Sheehan is now fully in the fold of the Left. Not only has she become the poster-girl for the MSM to promote more anti-Bush, antiwar rhetoric, but she’s doing it all on the memory of her son, Casey, who was killed in Iraq. But today, LittleGreenFootballs and Protein Wisdom picked up on something very interesting. You know who Sheehan’s biggest supporter is?

It’s the Crawford Peace House. This isn’t just any organization. It’s anti-Semetic; openly anti-Semetic. It has connections to Code Pink, Military Families Speak Out, and the Gold Star Mothers of America. All of these organizations are virulently antiwar. And don’t get me wrong, I wish we would never have wars. I’m not in favor of utilizing violence, unless it is justified. For these groups, and the majority of the Left, there is no justification whatsoever for going to war. Like the UN, they’d just like the world to lock hands, sway to the music, give each other hugs, and sing Kumbayah.
I have to laugh at that. Can anyone imagine the clerics in Iran, the mullahs in Saudi Arabia, Kim Jong-Il, and Syria’s Abbas doing anything like that? I didn’t think so.
Sheehan reported to the media over a year ago that her first visit with the president—that’s right, she’s already talked to him once—was good. The president was understanding, he prayed with her, and she believed he was a man of honor and humility. She told the press that the president felt for her, and the other grieving families.
Now, the story has changed. She states now that the meeting with the president was more like a party, and that he really didn’t spend much time with her. She now claims that there was something disingenuous about that meeting, which is why she wants another one. (Heh. That’s all well and good, but she doesn’t dictate the president’s schedule. This is a working vacation the man is on.) Oh, and by the way, she is now accusing the president of murdering the troops. Here we go, she’s got the MoveOn.org talking points, and she’s running with them.
We at the Asylum support the president. We have gripes with how he is doing things domestically, but when it comes to the war, he is doing a great job. Yes, I said great. Keep you’re ideologically-opposite talking points to yourselves. The war is going better than the Pentagon and the president expected. Yes, we have had a few setbacks, but that is war. Always planned ahead, and hardly ever executed EXACTLY as the plan goes.
The troops have freed two nations of their brutal regimes. The Taliban is gone, reduced to roving bands of terrorist insurgents. Saddam Hussein is in custody, his sons are dead, and his forces have joined with the terrorists that flooded into the country after we invaded. Al-Qaeda was in Iraq prior to our entry. Al-Zarqawi had been in Iraq, accepted as an intelligence asset by Saddam’s intelligence agency, since 1996. That comes from a State Department report released in 2002.
But Cindy Sheehan doesn’t seem to agree with any of this. The same goes for the rest of the antiwar groups. There sole goal is to draw attention to the war, and through the MSM present a much bleaker picture than what is true in Iraq. I talk to the troops coming home, and they still can’t believe how the media is distorting the message. I’ve talked with Vietnam vets that point back to their war, and ask "what’s changed?" Yes, what has changed? Instead of a jungle, it’s a desert, and we aren’t losing the amount of troops we were in Vietnam. And, based on what we do know about the GWOT, it is anything but a quagmire, at least when it comes to us. Our enemies, I’m sure, would disagree.
She is out to smear the president. She’s out to push the antiwar agenda forward. I do understand that she lost her son. I know that Marcie would be devastated if her brother were killed in Afghanistan. But I can assure our readers, she would not blame the president, nor would she call him a murderer. She understands, as we ALL do, that there are times where talking and diplomacy just doesn’t cut it. There are tyrants around the globe that don’t respond to negotiations. They respond to force.
Force is needed in such times. We were never going to negotiate with the Taliban. They were openly harboring al-Qaeda. You weren’t going to negotiate with Saddam Hussein; he had flaunted the UN for twelve years. Both nations contained our enemy, and if they weren’t going to turn them over, we were going in. This is a global war. Sixty-plus nations stand on our side, and we’re whittling their allies away.

I've said many times that the anti war protesters gives aid and comfort to the enemy. They are responsible for many our troops deaths and wounded. Their hands are bloody. I have no sympathy for Cindy Sheehan. I do salute her son. I respect him. She disgraces and smears his name for her own selfish ego. For shame.
