I saw that Cindy Sheehan was going to start a hunger strike on the 4th of July to "urge" President Bush to bring our troops home. I urge him to make sure he takes his time in bringing them home, like maybe just ebough time for this idiot and her followers to starve themselves to death? Harsh?? I don't really care. Its people like her and her Code Pink, and Celeb friends that make me disgusted to be associated with the same country they are. Not the Country mind you, the people.
I wish just for a minute mind you that President Bush would bring all all troops home, release all the guys and gals who have ing been serving in the guard and set us back to pre-Iraq levels of forces and deployments. And then see how long it would take for an attack to happen here in the US in one of our major cities. See the terrorist would not be able to fight us anymore in Iraq so they wuld have to go somewhere to find the Americans to target, and where might that be?? HERE!! In the US.
She is hoping to "galvinize" the anti-war effort and bring attention to this issue. LOL Like every American does not already think about this on a daily basis and her pathetic life is worth me thinking more about it? Maybe Cindy should talk to Karla Comfort who's son died in Iraq and is using that to drum up support for the troops inthe job they are doing.
So I hope, just a little that Cindy SHeehan and her crew stick to the hunger strike and die for their cuase. Then the rest of the sane world world would not have to put up with their crap anymore. Im not pissed off much, just enough to allow these idiots to starve themselves to death and then think to myself, wow, that really bothers me, now lets get on with killing more terrorist. Well maybe not that long, half a second maybe...
Maybe when people start spontainiously blowing up on our buses, subways and in our malls and shopping centers, people would then say, oh maybe fighting them over there was not such a bad idea. When they take a school full of our children hostage like they did in Russia, then maybe people would think fighting them in Iraq is a good idea.
Naw... Americans as a whole are to soft and ignorant of the violence in todays world. Maybe a good dose of death and destruction would help. Cindy Sheehan and her ilk can kiss my red white and blue ass for all I care. Let em starve themselves to death and see if I lose one minute of sleed over her. NOT!
Celebs to Join Cindy Sheehan in Hunger Strike

(CNSNews.com) - Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan announced Wednesday that she plans to begin an "open-ended hunger strike" on July 4 to urge the Bush administration to bring troops home from Iraq. (Like he cares what she does)
"We hope the fast will galvanize public attention, invigorate the peace movement, build pressure on elected officials, and get our troops back home," Sheehan said in a statement posted on the anti-war blogosphere. (Just make some of us hate her all the more and pity her even more than that)
The fast, organized by Code Pink and Sheehan's Gold Star Families for Peace, will begin on Independence Day in Washington, D.C. In her statement Sheehan said she would move the fast to Crawford, Texas, where the president owns a ranch and often vacations. (I think a group of us should go have a BBQ in her front yard. Oh thats right we respect a persons private property. Unlike some others.)
Sheehan gained national attention in August 2005 when she staged a protest outside the Crawford ranch to protest the war. She named the protest "Camp Casey" in memory of her son, Spc. Casey Sheehan, who was killed in Iraq in 2004.
In her latest statement, Sheehan wrote that celebrities like singer Willie Nelson, actor Danny Glover and comedian Dick Gregory will show their support for her by joining in a one-day fast. She urged her supporters to do the same.
Sheehan is currently in Vienna, Austria, protesting President Bush's appearances there. He is in Europe to meet with leaders of the European Summit, seeking support for the United States' efforts to spread democracy in the Middle East.
In an interview posted on Code Pink's website, the group's co-founder Diane Wilson said the fast would show solidarity with Iraqis and U.S. troops. "Their bodies are on the line every day," Wilson said, referring to Iraqi civilians. "And so are the bodies of the U.S. soldiers. So shouldn't we be putting our bodies on the line?"
Wilson told her interviewer, fellow Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin, that a hunger strike "can be a very powerful action." She mentioned three previous hunger strikes she organized, two of which lasted more than four weeks. (A hunger strike is when you are willing to die of hunger for your cuase, I DARE her to take all the way, I can only hope!)
The "Troops Home Fast," Wilson said, means that she will abstain from food and drink, with the exception of water, as long as possible. "I don't know how long I can fast," she said, "but I'm making this an open-ended fast. I plan to take this as far as I've ever taken anything in my 58 years."
Wilson acknowledged that her fast might not get the attention of Bush, who after meeting with Sheehan once to offer his condolences for the loss of her son, has ignored her requests for another meeting. "Some fasts are successful," Wilson said in her interview, "others aren't. You never know."
