My only (hopefully) comment on Cindy Sheehan
I don't like her. Not one bit.

Now they've done gone and let this grieving little ankle biter further cement the fringe-left's framing of our entire operation of this nascent world war. With all of today's modes to get around the MSM's fawning over a less-than-footnote whiner, someone in this administration...and in the GOP...has been remiss.
Cindy Sheehan has no more moral authority than any other American parent who has lost a son or daughter in any war. But it appears the GOP has given her an almost free pass to become the poster mommy for this war.
That's just stupid. The more we allow the hesitant to insert themselves into our collective psyche, the more it guarantees a high long-term price in American lives and security.

"At Cindy Sheehan's side since Aug. 6 when she began her antiwar protest outside President Bush's Texas ranch have been three groups that openly support the Iraqi insurgency against U.S. troops: Code Pink-Women For Peace, United for Peace & Justice, and Veterans For Peace."I'm incredibly disturbed by the way the White House has handled communications about the war in Iraq. I don't care that there were not weapons of mass destruction because I think that our having to do something militarily about Iraq was inevitable and the longer we waited, the more likely it was that we'd have a higher American soldier death toll.
