Cindy Sheehan, Talking from the Drainage Ditch
Buzzflash has the latest from Crawford.
BuzzFlash: Is it true as reported on Daily Kos that you have been warned you will be arrested on Thursday? How do you feel about going to jail? Would it be a first?
Cindy Sheehan: Yes. It would be the first time, and I am ready to go. The only way they will get me out of there is if he meets with me, [or] the end of August, or when I am arrested."
I love a girl with tenacity. Kudos, baby!

If they decide that she is a threat to national security, they can lock her up without any due process for as long as they want.
No charges or attorneys or trials.
If you don't think they can. They are already doing it to hundreds of gang members across the states, and no one has made a fuss at all about it.
The Constitution has now been rendered meaningless. If they can do it to everyone just because they belong in a gang, what other groups will they decide to lock up next? Can protestors be far behind? I don't care how much scum these gangbangers may be, they don't deserve to be stripped of their rights. Britian has been cleaning house in short order following the bombings by applying the law, not circumventing it. There is no excuse for us doing so.
Granted, if they try it to Sheehan, it might actually be the snap of the fingers necessary to snap the hypnotized masses awake to what this admin has been doing.
I would be highly stunned if they actually arrested her. It would be a terrible PR move and I would predict a sharp drop in his polls if it happened.
I'm not quite sure why they made Thursday The Day to arrest her, since she's obviously no threat to national security. But whatever, it will be interesting to see how this all unfolds.
Why arrest her on Thursday? That's simple enough; on Friday Bush's motorcade would have to pass by her encampment on the way back from a fundraiser.
Wouldn't surprise me if Rove has her arrested in some kind of police limousine to minimize the negative PR.
Wouldn't want Cindy strolling out on the street attempting to block the progress of the Presidential motorcade, now would they? But then again, they have a chopper for just such avoidance technicalities.
As this situation unfolds, the whole world sees how the little man that W has become shrinks further into a corner and his testies fold up underneath his administration lacking any ounce of courage. What does this say to the globe and the terrorists? If he can face up to an ordinary woman , we have him by what remains of his gonads.
Ops - typo - I meant the contraction "can't" face up to an ordinary woman...not can, because as demonstrated by his inaction, he certainly is most terrified of Cindy Sheehan.
Sorry for the typing error.
Just wanted y'all to know that I posted a response to your last comments...on that last article of Moxie's, that is. No sense pasting it here...rather lengthy ;-)
And for the record, I actually would like to see PRESIDENT BUSH speak to this woman...she is distraught and (beyond that) now symbolizes the frustration of war on families. Realistically, I will be a little surprised if he does (given his role as protector of the free world and all).
BTW, did you all know that she spoke to him last year?
"and to suddenly pull out of Iraq now would be MIND-NUMBINGLY STUPID"
Yeah I agree w/ that. But in reference to your post in the last article their is a big difference between believing that Saddam may have had WMD and "Fixing the facts," which has become all too clear in the context of Rove, Libby, Bolton, Wilson, Plame, Clark, Rice Powell, Tennant, Straw, Novak,, Cheney, Haliburton, and the Downing Street in recent weeks. All of those stories are essentially chapters in the story of how a nation was decieved. How intelligence was ignored because (To qoute Simon and Garfunkle) " A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest." And how our fear was manipulated for profit.
I don't want a pull out after we have created this fiasco, I want it repaired and I want accountability for our leaders who illegally and deceptively took us there. The only thing Al Qeuda and Saddams former government appear to have ever agreed on is that they hated each other and our actions would appear to have steeled them together. While the real war on terror is conviently ignored and mismanaged, with OBL and pals running free, we have provided the best training ground in Iraq for the next generation of terrorist after tearing down their old ones in Afganistan.
There is a big difference between an army of pre-emptive invasion and an army of liberation (I love that euphamism aren't all invasions pre-emptive of something? Like say running out of a vital resource? or losing development contracts for the world second largest petrol resorve to other nations? Or losing the fossil fuel strangle hold on the world?
Oh and by the way if that numb-nut is the protector of the free world I think we're in trouble.
Sausage,
First Gulf war resulted in an Iraqi surrender with many conditions. 17 broken resolutions later, and near-daily surface-to-air attacks on OUR PLANES, these resulted in ultimatums that were also not met and then we showed that we were not bluffing.
Now, show me where we have benefitted from Iraqi oil?
Lastly, we ARE in trouble - not because of a decisive President. It is because of leaders who share much of your ideology and penchant for a selective memory that we are in such a mess - just my opinion.
Dissent can be positive (one thing that makes us the greatest and most envied country on the planet) but blind hatred of one's own government can be self-defeating.
Many in the democratic party, particularly those on the left, seem to yearn for the over-stated righteousness of the Vietnam peace movement. This ain't no 'nam, brother....
Peace to you and yours Timmer. I have an answer to your " Now, show me where we have benefitted from Iraqi oil? "
1st I take your definition of we as Bush, you and anybody else who believes the bullshit. Do you know who rebuilt Kuwaiti and Iraqs oil infrastructure after the Gulf War? Halliburton they certainly benifitted. 1 Guess on who has made a whole lotta dough rebuilding the Oil Infrastructure after the U.S. destoyed it in this American-Iraq War? pretty Its Halliburton again! Halliburton had a 284% increase in profits in the second quarter of this year (www.halliburtonwatch.org/news/earnings072205.html)
So yeah you, Bush, Cheney and all your buddies have benefitted.
Face it. No WMD, No Saddam-Osama working links and no threat to the National Security fron Iraq. The mission has been accomplished though. A very profitable War is what has been accomplished.
Amerikkka out of Iraq now!
your fellow Human
"Amerikkka"???? People are still hauling that childish typographic joke out of the closet?
Peace Unto You HUMAN!
Now, you are angry and bitter...congrats - YOU ARE A LIBERAL.
FYI, Haliburton is far and away the ONLY company with the resources, experience and skilled personnel to handle these contracts...but typically, you make conspiracy theories.
Tell you what, why not look into the ABLE DANGER conspiracy and try to figure out why Bill CLinton's administration, the Pentagon and the FBI turned away information on FOUR 9-11 terrorists (including Mohamad Atta)...then it was convered up by the 9-11 commission!
"As early as 1995, a special terror prosecutor, Mary Jo White, warned the Clinton White House that Ms. Gorelick was building a wall between intelligence and law enforcement agencies ... a wall that could, in Ms. White's words, "cost lives." And indeed, it did cost lives -- because Ms. Gorelick refused to let FBI agents proceed with intelligence provided by the Defense Department, Mohammed Atta and his thugs were free to hijack four planes on September 11."
"Haliburton is far and away the ONLY company with the resources, experience and skilled personnel to handle these contracts"
Um....Bechtel? Gulf War 1?
"Haliburton is far and away the ONLY company with the resources, experience and skilled personnel to handle these contracts"
Lil Bobo got here first, but I'd like to ask how you know so much about Halliburton and the rest of the potential companies? Are you an insider? Are you an analyst? I'm just wondering how come you are so familiar with that industry that you KNOW that Halliburton is the ONLY company that could have done this job.
