Poor Cindy Sheehan

[eensor]

I feel for Cindy Sheehan's pain at losing her son, but to dishonor him by what she is doing is absurd at best, and unpatriotic bordering on treasonous at worst. She is being used by the far left and the liberal media as a pawn against our president. Do liberals really think President Bush WANTS war and death? That is insane! Freedom comes at a price-- a high price, and thanks to our president, Al Qaeda has been diminished by 75%. Our former president was warned about Osama Bin Laden, but chose to do nothing and the burden now lies on Pres. Bush. What you don't hear about are the schools, hospitals, and economic projects that our servicepeople are achieving in Iraq and Afghanistan. How can liberal women disagree with a war that set millions of women free and allowed them to vote? As for WMD, Saddam had lots of time to get them out of Iraq and into Syria before we got there.

Interestingly, the majority of the Sheehan's disagree with Cindy and honor her son's memory by supporting what he died for--freedom, and the war on terror.If you don't think Saddam was a terrorist, check out the terror he did when he murdered so many of his own citizens.

What does Ms. Sheehan hope to accomplish with another meeting with the president? Does she really think he will just say "Oh, okay Cindy, you're right. Let's just undo everything we've accomplished in Iraq and let another fanatical dictator take over." It is ludicrous to think that she could possibly change his mind on this issue. We've got to stay the course in Iraq until it can stand on its own feet as a democracy or a republic.

I support President Bush in his effort to succeed in Iraq and Afghanistan! I don't agree with every one of his policies, but I do like and admire him very much! Cindy needs to go home and find a constructive way to honor her son.

Wow Elizabeth, I am very impressed!!!!!! I agree with you 110%

President Bush is a moron. That's that. I wish I could say more and not get banned. And I think that it's ridiculous for you to criticize Kim for starting things when this thread was just meant to start controversy.

[lily's mom]

Kinda of harsh aren't ya? Elizabeth is completely right. Seems YOU have been misguided.

[natalie]

I can go on and on about politics but, I'd rather warn you about what you say. Be careful, please!

[luv4yorkies]

I agree with some people on here. I have many relatives over in iraq and it is very hard to go through each day not knowing whether they are going to be one that does not make it through.

Natalie: Really, only out of curiousity, What do you mean by this?

Now onto my 2 cents.
Aren;t WE doing in Iraq exactly what Bush and his cronies were trying to scare the American people into thinking they were going to do to US? This war is not about freedom, it is about a group of people associated with the Bush family making money. Bush and his family are in the Bin Laden's pockets, they have him under their thumbs. Up until recently, they made money off of the weapons that were being made to fight this war.

On a base level, go watch Farenheit 9/11 and see what the soldiers have to say. One says that he'd personally like to ask Rumsfeld for his resignation and then there is Corporal Abdul Henderson (MY FREAKIN' HERO) who plainly states that he would not go back to needlessly kill people even if there was threat of jailtime for him.

Bush is a war president and one that is costing the American people our financial future.

Very well said!

I hate when people say "it is that liberal media doing things" so many people just dont know what goes on. they think they do but the media would never report the WHOLE truth. You are 100% right watch micheal moores film.

[luv4yorkies]

Very well put go watch the movie.

[chewysmom]

Oh and one more thing. If Bush is so gung ho about the war and so set in his convictions, thinking it's such a good thing for them and us, why the hell isn't he sending his own children over to fight the good fight?

Comments like that about the President of these United States should get this thread closed. Do you not think calling the President a moron isn't controversial??

I was not saying that controversy is bad. I was saying that it is hypocritical to be critical of someone posting something that CAN become controversial, and then turning around and posting something that actually IS controversial. The thread should have been closed from the beginning. I am entitled to state my opinion just as much as Elizabeth is, and that shouldn't cause the thread to be closed.

[chewysmom]

What is the deal with threads being closed all the time? If you don't like the content, then stay away. We are all adults here, aren't we!!!!!!!

And, I think it is perfectly ok to call the president a moron. It's the truth. There was no attacking another member going on.

I have a client of mine who's son came back from Irag last winter. And although, he may not agree with the reasoning behind the war, there has been so many good things done over there that we really do not hear about. They had set up many hospitals, Medicine is a huge one, they are getting soo many sick children the help they so deserve, started 100's of new schools, have boys AND GIRLS getting educations, setting up the elections and voting, helping soo many people! He had so many Iragi people just come up to him while traveling, telling him and his troops, Thank YOU"!

So we all have our own views on this war, we should agree to disagree. Some agree with the war, while others don't. But our MEN and WOMEN ARE over there. Our friends, our husbands, wives, sons, daughters, bothers, sisters, moms and dads. I hope we can all agree that we truly hope that they are safe, and will always keep them in our thoughts every single day. They are doing their job, and with pride. I am very proud of each and every one of our troops, for they had the courage to sign up for our Armed FOrces, and to defend OUR Country. I did not have the courage that each and every one of our men and women had to even sign up. But they are fighting for our country, whether they want to be thier or not! They are the bravest, most heroic, men and women I wish I could ever meet. For those who have unfortunatly have past on from this life here on earth, while defending our freedom, I will tip my hat off to them, for they have done what I could never do. I wish the war had never happened, but it has, and they are making me so very proud of each and every one of them. Defending our country with pride, dignity, and honour. That is why they joined our Armed Forces.

So lets please agree to disagree on this one- and think of the men and women over there- to keep them safe and to bring them home, soon! They are HEROS in my book!!!!
