well what I'd STILL like to ask these nuts want to defend Bush and Iraq is what the F is Bush's plan ?? has he announced a new one? NO !<br><br>the moron doesn't HAVE a workable plan- it's more of the same STUPIDITY and getting more young men like Casey KIlled !!<br>It didn't work in Vietnam - won't work now either.<br><br>We're just making OBL and Iran stronger !! <br><br>Nice plan, you dumbazz, immoral President !!<br><br>David (OFI)<br>

Just to summarize : what is developing as the most significant anti-war protest of our generation, one woman's personal protest that has tapped into the world media, one that is nonviolent and for a just cause, one who's goal is to save the lives of Americans and Iraqis, Cindy Sheehan is the single person that the President today felt he needed to address in a public statement (although he was silent last year when millions across the globe marched to protest the war), and who's protest is seen by our resident conservative as a call to arms of the "Liberal Attack Mode"... she should be ignored, her motives and respect for her own fallen child questioned [i]because of an email posted by the Drudge Report from her disgruntled in-law aunt who doesn't like her politics or her publicity.

The laughing matter is the tactics used twice now by the Drudge Report and the way this twisted logic is used to discredit and disrespect her efforts.<br><br>The protest of Cindy Sheehan is one of the most serious and influential turning points of the anti-war majority. That's why I support her, promote her efforts on this forum, and will remained tuned into to her story in any way possible.<br><br><br><br>

You accept Drudge posting a email from "aunt and godmother" as meeting acceptable journalistic standards, I dont.<br><br>Sheehan is the mother, and mothers rule. Even if the aunt-in-law and godmother are not liking it. The President even said today that this is America and Cindy Sheehan is free to say what she wants. She is, and a whole lot of people are listening. <br><br>Tomorrow's another day, and surely one more Drudge creation to get us talking <br><br><br><br>
