WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Cindy Sheehan, the military mother who made her son's death in Iraq a rallying point for the anti-war movement, plans to tie herself to the White House fence to protest the milestone of 2,000 U.S. military deaths in Iraq

I'm going to go to Washington, D.C. and I'm going to give a speech at the White House, and after I do, I'm going to tie myself to the fence and refuse to leave until they agree to bring our troops home," Sheehan said in a telephone interview last week as the milestone approached.

"And I'll probably get arrested, and when I get out, I'll go back and do the same thing," she said.

Crazy broad...You ignore her for a few days and she has to one-up her craziness...Next thing you know she's gonna dive into a cup of water from the top of the Washington Monument.

Most military parents don't make a mockery of their child's service to his/her country by pulling stunts like this to get the attention of the media. The sad part is, by all indications, her politics and her son's differed greatly. Her son would probably be ashamed of what shes doing.

What exactly does she think this will change?

I'm sure Pres. Bush is gonna bring everyone home when he sees that!

Its things like this that helped bring back Americans from Vietnam. I hope she succeeds. You guys that are against her, seem to enjoy seeing our kids dying for the sake of corporate gains. Remember we were told that Iraq was a threat to our Country and that we were told by Condoleeza Rice and The Vice president that Nukes could be flying into our Country because of Iraq and they exaggerated these things to scare us into going to war and doing their bidding. We should not be there. They never had the technology, and were not even close to having it and were definitly not a threat to our way of life in the USA. Perhaps a threat to their own people , but then again so are some of our politicians wen they make decisions that can possiblty harm us or cause harm to others and no one comes and invades our country. That place is not worth investing 10 more minutes of american blood into..much less 10 more years as was recently projected.

So we spend 80someodd billion on a baseless war and thats ok but spending a few thousand on a person who's trying to make us stop the war is a big waste of money??

I must admit that I was flabbergasted at Bush's nomination for the Federal Reserve chief.....

The guy doesn't seem to be a long time friend or even his investment councilor.

In fact this guy is probably qualified.

It's breaking with the Bush tradition of cronyism...

Sheehan is one crazy mom. And by that I mean she's a total fcuking moron.

Rosa Parks just passed away...people thought she was a troublemaker and an ass too because she stood up for what she thought was right in her mind as well as others. Who knows what we could be saying in the future...Maybe if they pull out sooner then they anticipate , we could say She helped spark a national feeling or goal, or maybe if you disagree with her and we are stuck there for another 10 years , and you end up going over there yourself or your son/daughter goes over there (If they aren't of age now or there is a draft later) and loses their life, or becomes handicapped you may say "I wish more people had stuck to their beliefs like that woman"
Its not right to call her an *******..Her kid died over there and she wants answers and shes more then entitled to them. She bore him for 9 months and raised him for 18 years and she wants to know why he died. Many other parents feel the same way except they aren't so vocal about it. Are they *******s too? Have some respect for her at least. Doesn't matter what her sons politics were. This is her thing. She has courage to take on the government and shes not a sheep. You don't know what may happen to you and yours in the future.

Pie, it's not that we can't appreciate where she's coming from, it's just that she's like Teresa Heinz. I never heard Rosa Parks referred to as an ass. Troublemaker perhaps, by those who where threatened by her actions, but not an ass. Sheehan is an ass. All she's doing is getting her point across in an asinine way and becoming a laughing stock, which is not helping her cause in the least. If she wants to be effective and taken seriously, she needs to change her tactics. But I think it's too late for that because now she has been labeled.

Well I bet a lot of those people down south thought of her as being an ass and a troublemaker. Anyone that didn't agree with what she was trying to accomplish. Im not comparing her to Rosa Parks as far as importance in history goes. If anything I would compare her more to the Hippies and Flower Children of the 60's -70's who protested the war. People thought they were communist pinko's , but if it wasn't for people's insistance to leave that country and bring our people home, who knows how much longer and how many more bodies it could have been.

It's pretty damn ignorant AND offensive to say that we enjoying see our soldiers die (they're soldiers, NOT kids, get it right), BUT this cut and run option that people are pushing is NOT an option. We've gotta stay the course till the insurgency is defeated. You people are so blinded by your dislike for the administration that you fail to see the harm that just pulling out now would bring. It IS possible to NOT like Bush but agree that just breaking out of there would be a HUGE mistake. I've even heard some hardcore liberals say that just cutting and running would be a huge mistake. I do agree that an exit strategy should be in place, but who's to say that one does not exist? I'm going to bed, peace!

They are someones kids wether you choose to see that or not is up to you. I guess all the cute pics of the soldiers being sniped at and showing them out in the field doesn't show the majority of them as being teens practically.
I have dislike for an administration who has consistently misled the people in order to achieve their objective, whatever todays reason happens to be. We have already been through a couple of reasons why we should be there. The primary one was WOMD , which was used to practically terrify people into approval at a time when we were at our weakest from 9-11 and we were most susceptible to any threat we were passed. You can believe all the BS you want to believe thats handed to you but there are people who will not abide by it. Sheehan is one of those people. Its funny how you would consider someone here who changes their story or exagerrates something about themselves, or kerry as being a Flip-flopper as being a bull**** artist but when politicians that you have approved of do it , its fine and dandy. To me, thats being hypocritical that you would be so selective in who can change the story and reason.
Our exit strategy is still up in the air if we are being told it could be 10 years before troops are removed from Iraq. My son turns 18 next month and I didnt raise him all these years to have to worry about him going to a place like Iraq for the sake of "freeing them" while we are losing freedom of our own here at home. If we were there for WOMD and they found them there, then more power to them and they had every reason to be there and to stay there, and if my kid was called up to serve, it would be an honor.

Now I better understand why you're saying what you're saying. I was going to ask you if you had a son or daughter around that age or someone already serving.

well Its not just my son, his friends, the kids that come to my store, people like Meggie going to Afghanistan even tho they are Reservists..lots of things. We took control in Afghanistan, but yet I still see people getting their hands on Heroin, their chief cash-crop. Us being there hasn't changed things much. One corrupt regime for another. What is the point then? Iraq will probably be just the same. Going from one bunch of murderers to another , only now they have our seal of approval for a little while.

Wait until you become a parent. Believe me, your perspective changes in ways you cannot imagine. It did so for yours truly.

In addition, even Rumsfeld has stated that we could be there as long as 12 years. Does this sound like someone with an exit stragedy. The PROBLEM with die hard Bush heads are the same as any other intransigent, you are not questioning his tack on what is obviously seriously mishandled issues. Maintain your current affinity for the man and you shall be a supreme court justice in no time......... OK, that was a cheap shot. Porfirio, believe it or not, we all love this country we live in. You, me, Ghost, Pie, Sheehan. Disagree all you like with her politics, but respect her for what she is, a saddened mother of killed soldier, who will go to any extent to assure that no other mother suffers as she has.
