End of Iraq war in sight
I expect the war in Iraq to be over fairly soon, probably within a week or two:
[ QUOTE ] Penn, Sarandon Unite for Hunger Strike July 5, 2006 SEAN PENN, SUSAN SARANDON and WILLIE NELSON are just some of the big names who will be lending their support to anti-war activist CINDY SHEEHAN's hunger strike. Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed while serving in Iraq, began her "Troops Home Fast" protest outside the White House on Independence Day. Her plan is to abstain from eating and consume only water and juices throughout the summer. Penn, Sarandon and Nelson, meanwhile, will participate in a "rolling fast" along with actor DANNY GLOVER, author ALICE WALKER and nearly 3,000 activists nationwide. The concept involves each participant to refuse food for 24 hours on designated days and then pass the fast over to the next individual. [/ QUOTE ] I don't see how W. could live with himself, knowing that Penn and Saradon would actually be going 24 hours without solid food. Oh, the humanity! (Just for future reference, is a strawberry julius from the Bellagio considered as solid food?) |

Re: End of Iraq war in sight
the iraq war isn't a war, and the hostile operations ceased when GWB said they were done on that aircraft carrier. Don't you watch the Fox/Pravda network?
Are you implying things aren't rosy in Iraq? - are you implying Fox/Pravda reporters who are reporting on how safe Iraq is can't leave the Green Zone without flak jackets and armed escorts? - LOL when asked to comment on the situation in Iraq, GWB was heard to say "it's apparently not nearly as easy as making a DUI go away, I guess." rb |

the iraq war isn't a war [/ QUOTE ] Does "anti-war activist" Cindy Sheehan know about this? How can she be anti-war against a non-war? This insight might make it a bit easier on her, not to mention the masses of rollingly-hungry Hollyword celebs. |

Re: End of Iraq war in sight
Does there have to be a war on to be anti-war?
Why are all the warmongers jealous of Cindy's willingness to go out on a limb for something she believes in? She must be quite pleased at the attention she gets from them. |

A plausible explanation is that Sheehan, being the mother of a dead son, comes on as double treasonous to the pro-war fanatics. She is not just "betraying" the lost soldier, she is not acting "properly" like a/their "mom" even! As the visiting shrink in Fawlty Towers put it, "There's enough material here for an entire conference!" |

[/ QUOTE ] the obligations of patriotism aren't just on the folks who die - the whole country is obliged to drink the cool-aid or as Bill O'Reilly puts it "They should shut up" the very idea that we protect freedoms during time of war is always missing during times of war - the same folks decrying Cindy today would have been crying for Japanese internment during WWII - and then afterwards they realize what [censored] [censored] they were and they issue a half-hearted apology that no one respects or cares - or maybe it's just cause Cindy cuts into War Profiteering - which is the sole justifiable reason for the Iraq war and for every other conflict GWB engages in before we boot his monkey ass from office. When you threaten the money, it brings out the worst in retaliatory accusations. RB |

So, I guess your premise is that the Iraq War is now completely justified because of the people who are a) opposed to it, and b) the actions they are taking to stop it? Is this Dan Bartlett? |
