Cindy Sheehan, and her band of merry traitors, started an anti-war hunger strike outside the White House yesterday. Supposedly, this fast is going to continue until the troops are withdrawn from Iraq. You know, the war that is a crime...according to Cindy. Supposedly, the protesters "represent millions of Americans who withdraw their support from this government. Instead of putting their money where their soon to be very hungry mouths are, and getting millions of signatures and letters from these supposed detractors, less than 150 protestors sat down on Pennsylvania Avenue on Independence Day to start a hunger strike.

How patriotic.

My question to Mrs. Sheehan and her CodePink croonies is, "HOW DO YOU THINK THIS COUNTRY GOT TO THE POINT THAT YOU HAD THE RIGHT TO HAVE A HUNGER STRIKE A FEW FEET AWAY FROM THE PRESIDENT'S HOUSE TO PROTEST ?!?!?!

The most tragic part of this entire scene is that if the troops WERE pulled from Iraq before the job was done, her son's death would be in vain.
I'm sure that's why he enlisted -
to go to a country ruled by a maniacal dictator,
liberate that country,
capture the dictator,
enable said country to have free and fair elections,
train and install a police force,
and then pull out before the police and elected government are ready and prepared for us to leave.

I'm sure that's what Casey Austin Sheehan had in mind when he enlisted.
