For education and discussion only. Not for commercial use. Crawford, Texas (AHN) - Pressure mounted against anti-war protester and mother of fallen Army Spc. Casey Sheehan Friday from millions of bloggers as well as cable news and talk radio outlets began to rip her intentions as well as her motivations to shreds. Ms. Sheehan is camping out on the road that leads to President Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch for the entire month of August where Bush makes an annual visit. The President continues his day-to-day business with daily briefings, trips to sign bills around the nation, and meets with organizations across the country while returning to the ranch by the afternoon. The President's motorcade has passed Ms. Sheehan numerous times without stopping to address her or her fellow anti-war protesters who claim they want to ask the president questions about "why he lied to them about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and an Al-Qaeda link to the country," which reportedly never existed. But as the week went on, numerous stories began to emerge about Ms. Sheehan and her ties to radical left-wing anti-war groups as well as inaccurate versions of her first meeting with President Bush at Fort Lewis in Washington. An unearthed article documented in the Vacaville Reporter News contradicted the current story Sheehan has been playing in front of dozens of reporters and media outlets across the world. Now Ms. Sheehan finds herself in an even deeper credibility issues as bloggers from various websites including Free Republic.com and military forums on the Internet discovered images during a google search of the first meeting of Bush and Sheehan where the President is giving Sheehan a consoling kiss on her cheek in a group family photo. Ms. Sheehan made no official comment about the discovery of the photo's on Friday but claims that she will move her protest to the sidewalks in front of the White House where the President is scheduled to return after Labor Day weekend.

I am quite sure inciteing these peoples are what it's all about. Experts at it. Sure you can get a Doctorate in it at the "Universities of the Americas".
As far as I'm concerned, it's because, with the endorsement of both our Congress and the UN, Papa Bush made a military committment to liberate Kuwait. And because in the aftermath, Saddam Hussein repeatedly violated the restrictions that were imposed on him. Now don't get into a sidetrack rant about WMDs. There is no doubt that this is a World Government clusterfuck.
It worked with the Japanese.
If Dubya thinks he can help some of them establish a more civilized method of resolving their differences, I'm willing to skepticly go along with it.

The "Ragheads" you racially slander, and this does establish Willie Green as a Racist, have no more or less been killing different tribes than say the Vikings, Scots or Romans. The governmental tribal killers love you Willie Green, because you are such an easy dupe for them, as a matter a fact, they need masses of fools like you as their Oxygen. Been the same for ten thousand years, prolly much more. And you don't know enough to be embaressed.

Bullshit.
This is true, because if it wasn't your father could go back and perform a regular sexual act on your mother instead of the unmentionable one that resulted in your conception.
The ragheads aren't a "race", moron.

Hey Willie...it's time to relax and cut your losses. We've gotten our asses kicked in Iraq, and the American sheeple are growing wiser by the day. Despite your bloodlust, the Pubbies face midterm elections and will begin to run from this president like their asses were on fire. That said, you and a hand full of other loons will be left waving flags, in a sad attempt to rally the nation. Think of Saigon in '75. History repeats itself.
Better yet can you spell the word, I can't!
Movin on up, You need to get past this hate, Willie.
We should thank the Nazis for giving us all those stark, frightening images. How else we gonna learn not to act like that? On the other hand, monkey see...
I hate the Jeffersons, they're the ones who really want to close CBGBs
Yes, I get it.
This statement is an oxymoron.
Spoken like a true brain dead robot.
Bullshit. Pinheads who intentionally misrepresent what I say bore the shit out of me. You're going on the bozo filter. Adios! It's from the article you posted last night ninney. Here is the link: Willie's Stuff Here's a nice response that was on the thread, and which you never answered: #3. To: Willie Green (#0) Casey Sheehan was cut down by foreign insurgents ... Do you have a link or is this simply more over the top propaganda? How do you know that it was foreign insurgents. The reports I've seen out of Iraq indicate that most of the insurgents are Iraqi. Rumbsfeld even confirmend this. So how do you know that the particular insurgent that shot Sheehan's son was a foreign insurgent? Answer - you don't. But you need this silly sort of dishonest propaganda to support your arguments. They fail without the spin. This by itself should tell you something. crack monkey posted on 2005-08-11 16:52:24 ET Reply Trace Private Reply So not only was the assertion in the article you posted, it was called to your attention on the thread. Do you stand behind what you post or not??
The Cheney /Rumsfield admin have done more to undermine our troops than Osama.
Willie, since you don't have me on bozo, I would appreciate an answer to my responce to your bullshit claim here. See my post above.
I am, Jethro.
What do they care about expendable cannon fodder?
You could have volunteered for Nam but no, instead you hid behind a high draft number. Just Like a typical chickenhawk.
Willie Green posted on 2005-08-13 23:35:39 ET Reply Trace Private Re Your hatred of mankind, and love of government is noted. As well as the savageness of your method of dealing with conflicts, caused, mainly, by the governmental elites, who would sacrifice you and your family in a instant, to procure for themselves, a beautiful life. Willie Green you are a SUCKER. I do not to be mean about it, but I think you can handle it, that's a compilment.
Still waiting for an answer here Willie. By the way, I just checked. You don't have me on bozo so I know you see this. You cowardly, blowhard piece of worthless chickenshit.
Less in future SS "Benefits"?
WHAT MCNAMARA LEARNED FROM VIETNAM McNamara's List:
We misjudged then -- and we have since -- the geopolitical intentions of our
adversaries . . . and we exaggerated the dangers to the United States of their
actions. We viewed the people and leaders of South Vietnam in terms of our
own experience. . . . We totally misjudged the political forces within the
country. We underestimated the power of nationalism to motivate a people to
fight and die for their beliefs and values. Our judgments of friend and foe
alike reflected our profound ignorance of the history, culture, and politics of
the people in the area, and the personalities and habits of their leaders.
We failed then -- and have since -- to recognize the limitations of modern,
high-technology military equipment, forces and doctrine. . . . We failed as
well to adapt our military tactics to the task of winning the hearts and minds
of people from a totally different culture. We failed to draw Congress and
the American people into a full and frank discussion and debate of the pros and
cons of a large-scale military involvement . . . before we initiated the
action. After the action got under way and unanticipated events forced us
off our planned course . . . we did not fully explain what was happening and
why we were doing what we did. We did not recognize that neither our
people nor our leaders are omniscient. Our judgment of what is in another
people's or country's best interest should be put to the test of open
discussion in international forums. We do not have the God-given right to shape
every nation in our image or as we choose. We did not hold to the
principle that U.S. military action . . . should be carried out only in
conjunction with multinational forces supported fully (and not merely
cosmetically) by the international community. We failed to recognize that
in international affairs, as in other aspects of life, there may be problems
for which there are no immediate solutions. . . . At times, we may have to live
with an imperfect, untidy world. Underlying many of these errors lay our
failure to organize the top echelons of the executive branch to deal
effectively with the extraordinarily complex range of political and military
issues. By the way, Saunders says that, in a phone conversation
with McNamara, the latter rendered the following opinion of the Iraqi invasion,
"We're misusing our influence. It's just wrong what we're doing. It's
morally wrong, it's politically wrong, it's economically wrong." If
that is so, what do we do now?
Willie....I spend large parts of my day trying to undermine the troops. As you yourself admit, they're fighting an unconstitutional war. So, in effect, it's our patriotic duty to remove this spear tip of this American imperialism. Guess what? Our hard work is paying off. Silly cold warriors like yourself are a dying breed. No longer will your ilk have an easy time expanding the empire. The Iraqi bloody nose we are receiving might just be the best foreign policy rejection we're received since 'nam. Gotta love it.
Willie, if anyone is having an issue estsblishing credibility it's you. I don't think folks here find it possible that you are human..
Hey tough guy. Big bad Freeper warrior. You gonna come out and defend yourself? Or are you gonna run and hide with your tail between your legs like you did in Nam, Gulf War 1 and Gulf War II?
BINGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
For making news during your beloved football game? You really have lost all sense of proportion.
We should thank the Nazis for giving us all those stark, frightening images. How else we gonna learn not to act like that? On the other hand, monkey see...
What I post and what's in an article that I post are two different things, ninny.
Profound words. Today Vietman did not take over Ohio, and Michigan, as we were promised by LBJ. There is deep sickness in many of the world's governing powers. And our Gov is one of the sickest.
I don't give a damn how many of them die, I will not undermine our troops under any circumstances. Hey, Willie, were you ever OPPOSED to Vietnam War? Still think Vietnam was a great idea? We should still be there? Never should have left? Anyone opposing that war was "undermining" troops. Do think sending troops into an unjust, immoral and unnecessary war is "Supporting the Troops"???
Dr. Condoleezza Rice said that the “security of Israel is the key to security of the world.”
yes...and sick sycophantic sheeple worshipping at their feet.
I need to emmended that. Our Gov is hardly the sickest. But as one of the most powerful, being a little sick has powerful consequences.
That's only because you didn't serve one day over there. You didn't know they were poor people just trying to make a living and we were suppose to be over their to help the south stay non-communist, not “nuke them till they glow.” We never planned on nuking them, because it was never a declared war.
God is always good!
He won't answer. His issue is Free trade and the GOP talking points re; Iraq. Any request asking him to step out of his self imposed, political box, will be met with silence. Such is the mindset of warpigs.
No, but those NVA gunboats may come snaking up the Wabash any day now, it never hurts to prepare for the preposterous. I'm hoping to surround the Lufthansa terminal with sharpshooters to ward off the remnants of Viet Cong.
We should thank the Nazis for giving us all those stark, frightening images. How else we gonna learn not to act like that? On the other hand, monkey see...
REALLY?!? Well, gee, Willie, your own man Buchanan (Go, Pat, Go!) wrote something about an Empire and America--remember that?? What was the name of that book?? Oh yeah, "A Republic, Not an Empire", by Pat Buchanan Things certainly are confusing with you.
Dr. Condoleezza Rice said that the “security of Israel is the key to security of the world.”

#97. To: avian virus (#88)
Why is it any of our business to begin with?
My only concern about those was if they'd be used against our troops.
Their existance is irrelevant to the decision to depose Saddam's regime.
The asshole repeatedly violated the no-fly zone, and as far as I'm concerned, that's sufficient justification to take him out. Hell, Papa Bush never should have left him in power to begin with.
I would have been happier if we sat on the sidelines 15 years ago, and just let the Saudis and Iranians worry about Saddam and the Kuwaitis.
But that ain't what happened and you can't turn back the clock.
The commitment was made, and I support our troops until the committment is fulfilled.
Then we pull OUT of the United Nations.

No neoconservative clique ensnaring our country in a series of wars that are not in America’s interest = no Iraqi "insurgents" = Sheehan's son still alive.
Get it??
I support our troops and their mission despite the neocon clique.
You, on the other hand, are willing to undermine our troops because of the neocon clique.
I will not undermine our troops under any circumstances.
