Cindy Sheehan: "Canada out of Afghanistan!"

[Crazed Rabbit]

Yup, the ole coot is at it again.

Looks like she's saying more ridiculous things in the hope she'll get some press time: Globe and Mail Story

Some fun bits:

Canadian soldiers have no business being in Afghanistan and their presence there merely enables the United States to carry on its "illegal and immoral" war in Iraq, prominent U.S. anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan said yesterday.

"I believe my country shouldn't be in Afghanistan anyway," Ms. Sheehan said at a news conference on Parliament Hill. "It's never about spreading freedom or democracy or making the world safe, it's about lining the war profiteers' pockets."

Ms. Sheehan also fired broadsides at the UN-backed international mission in Afghanistan.

"My country supported Osama bin Laden in the fight against Russia," she said.

Translation: I am a cretin.

"And now they go in and tear down that country. It's back in the hands of the drug lords, it's producing more opium than ever, and it's not safe. There's not any rebuilding going on, because it's being occupied by occupying forces."

So...its in the hands of the Taliban, but no rebuilding is going on because of 'occupying forces' who occupy the country? Which one is it?

They also encourage our volunteer soldiers to desert:

The activists conceded that current war resisters are different from those in the Vietnam era because they volunteered to serve, rather than being drafted.

However, Ms. Sheehan said, the soldiers are within their rights to desert because many are "lied to" by U.S. military recruiters who tell them they won't have to fight in Iraq. "My son was an honourable, honest person lied to by his recruiter," she said.

If I recall correctly, her son signed up for another tour after completing his first one.

P.S. Yes, I admit Mrs. Sheehan is an all too convenient (and becoming more so) whacking post for conservatives. But hey, what else do we do in here?

Maybe if we all stop caring about what she says, it won't matter. Just a thought. You are only spreading this, can you imagine if we cared and gave press time to every person in the US that was against or for the war?

i agree with the prince and have to ask, who the hell gave her press time in the first place.

anyway her son probably joined the army to get away from her, she just comes off as a domineering and control freak bitch to me.

Well when she was the "sympathetic" anti war/bush mom the media and dems did. Now that she has made a fool of herself they are unable to shut her up. She is an embarassment that they themselves created and is now doing them damage.

I think the line that did it for me was during Katrina when she called for the guard to "pull out" of New Orleans and end the occupation there.

Oh goody. I thought the press finally stopped covering her. I think they should air her views all of the time.

My favorite line wwas when she apologized to the Venezuelan president in Venezuela at some anti-America rally for American imperialism.

I'm sure her son would be proud.

She is no whacking post, IMO. Instead, I see her as a nut who helps the conservative cause. I think she might secretly be on the RNC payroll.

I like how the media first portrayed this as Bush's refusal to speak with her, rather than Bush's refusal to speak with her again. (He met with her once shortly after the death of her son, remember?) The media conveniently forgets to include that part.

Err... the Taliban weren't drug lords. Murderers, oppressors and islamofascist maniacs yes, but not drug lords. In fact, they were the only one who managed to effectively fight drug production in Afghanistan. But other than that, yes the woman is a shame.

Your media did. That link is from the Globe and Mail's website. The G'n'B being one of Canada's 2 national newspapers. It's the one that's not a joke/Tory rag.

Anyway, one thing I've always wondered is how did she feel about her son joining the army period? If you just take the way she reacted to her son being killed it gives the impression that she never wanted him in a uniform to begin with.

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Didn't someone shoot her yet?
