9. Joan Walsh

Shifting reasons for going to war.
Cindy wants to get the truth from *
* is showing himself to be callous and clueless.
Refuets she has handlers, she is a phenomenon.
Camp Casey has become an outpost of grief; she has met a trucker who supports the war and lost a son.
She is NOT being used, she is an activist. The nation is turning sour on the war.

[paineinthearse]

10. Frank Gaffney

Cindy is....

In today's Wa Times "A poster child for surrender".
"A tool for others".
"To give up will ... make the losses pale by comparison".
Giving aid and comfort to our enemies.
Being manipulated by handlers.
She is calling for withdrawal from Afganistan.
Insurgency will redouble its efforts if we cut and run.
Enemies cannot defeat us militarily, strategy is to sap our well as our enemies in vietnam did.
People putting up TV ads are exploiting her.
Wants * to make the case to the American people we are on a noble cause.

11. what a douche Gaffney is

damn, why don't we just change our name to USSR (if he gets in charge)

[rodeodance]

12. while I wait NBC is doing a fair report. They did talk of some company

who is assisting her-an ice cream company I think. Said Cindy admits she needs to 'refocus'

[rodeodance]

13. just gave a good overview with Cindy saying she will not back down.

Looks like they will do the Gaza story first following by Crawford.

[rodeodance]

14. well, now it is the IraQ constitution problem. federalism and issue of

much power central gov. will have, Islam in the constitution such as women's rights and who will have access to oil revenues.

[rodeodance]

15. and now to the 'political firestorm' that the Irag war and Cindy have

re-activated.

[rodeodance]

16. cindy does not want loved ones name used as support for an unjust

war

[rodeodance]

17. gave some background about cindy vigil and bush response-including

her meeting already with bush and meeting with aids.

[rodeodance]

18. taking of the 'dove' shooting and cross vandalism-==graowing tension

with neighbors and others.

[rodeodance]

19. Walsh-Cindy has come to sybolize a nations aporia with Iraq war and

a mom's grief for loss of son/troops.

[rodeodance]

20. Caffrey--Casy 'volunterred"--she is advocate for 'cutting and running'

but no idea of how to do this.

[rodeodance]

21. Caffrey--from WashPost---'giving aid and comfort to our enemies"

[rodeodance]

22. Walsh--Bush callous--for him to come out say I need to exercise cause

americans want me to exercise and have a balanced life---showed Americans how callous he can be.

[rodeodance]

23. Caffrey--our enemies understand they can not beat us militarily and they

want to smash our will (lots of Repug/Jr talking points_.

[rodeodance]

24. Walsh--Cindy has dialogues even with those who do not support her-

Cindy has had openness with others--and is a good example.

[rodeodance]

25. Caffreu==people are exploiting her--like the ones who put up ads for her.

[rodeodance]

26. he says that Pres. needs to make the case to the american people==for

continuing the war. dah!!!!

30. Frank Gaffney said CNN Today: Iraq being about WMD is Revisionist History

He was on CNN with P.J. Crowley (military or former military) and it was a discussion about why we Invaded Iraq. Crowley was trying to point out how terrible it was all going in Iraq and Gaffney sat there seeming to not have a worry in the world and said..."P.J. finding WMD in Iraq is all Revisionist History." He smiled as he said it.

I was going to post it on DU in outrage...but there was so much going on today, I figured it wasn't that important what that idiot said even though I was so angry. Gaffney is PNAC/NEOCON/NORQUIST. He's one of the ones along with Abramoff, Delay, Reed, Bolton, Perle, Wolfowitz and the rest that need to be locked in jail for "Crimes Against Humanity."

That he could say that Bush's claim that we needed to remove Saddam and Invade and Occupy Iraq because of Weapons of Mass Destruction i.e. Mushroom Clouds, Yellow Cake, Nukes...yadda, yadda was "REVISIONIST HISTORY?" :puke:

They probably need to be in Prisons for the Criminaly Insane if they still are pushing that crap without a scowl on their face, a frown in their brow and no evidence of the teeniest bit of remorse for the HELL they've wreaked on our Troops, America and Iraq..plus probably most of the rest of the world.
