War in Afghanistan is Wrong Too
Written by Mike on August 17th, 2005Cindy Sheehan is a grade A fool, via Hardball.
MATTHEWS: All right. If your son had been killed in Afghanistan, would you have a different feeling?
SHEEHAN: I don’t think so, Chris, because I believe that Afghanistan is almost the same thing. We’re fighting terrorism. Or terrorists, we’re saying. But they’re not contained in a country. This is an ideology and not an enemy. And we know that Iraq, Iraq had no terrorism. They were no threat to the United States of America.
MATTHEWS: But Afghanistan was harboring, the Taliban was harboring al-Qaida which is the group that attacked us on 9/11.
SHEEHAN: Well then we should have gone after al-Qaida and maybe not after the country of Afghanistan.
MATTHEWS: But that’s where they were being harbored. That’s where they were headquartered. Shouldn’t we go after their headquarters? Doesn’t that make sense?
SHEEHAN: Well, but there were a lot of innocent people killed in that invasion, too. … But I’m seeing that we’re sending our ground troops in to invade countries where the entire country wasn’t the problem. Especially Iraq. Iraq was no problem. And why do we send in invading armies to march into Afghanistan when we’re looking for a select group of people in that country?
So I believe that our troops should be brought home out of both places where we’re obviously not having any success in Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden is still on the loose and that’s who they told us was responsible for 9/11.
This is what happens when the Left gets off its meds.

She’s destroying her own case. Let her sink with her ship. The more people like Cindy Sheehan that flap their gums, the better the odds are of the GOP winning more seats.

Seriously, you would like to think that someone, hell anyone, on the left would see that this sort of behavior will be lethal come Nov. 06.

WOW ! I didn’t realize that we INVADED Afghanistan. I must have been in a COMA. I didn’t realize that we went after the whole country of Afgahnistan instead of the Talibums and Al-Qaeda. WOW ! No wonder the left is so teed off. NOT !
This woman is CLUELESS. She can’t even get the story staright, but then again neither does the MSNM or the other wacko groups that are latching onto her PR campaign like leeches.
We DID NOT INVADE Afgahnistan, we brought troops in and worked with the Northern Alliance to battle Al-Qaeda and their supporters, The Talibums.
We have had TREMEDOUS success in Afghanistan. Iraq DID harbor and support terrorism.
As I stated before folks, the real AGENDA is surfacing: ANTI WAR, ANTI BUSH. She is spewing Moron.org talking points at the direction of Michael Mooreon, no doubt. She is a vetriliquist dummy for the leftist activists.

And someday when I grow up I will buy a new keyboard where all the letters work the first time. I’ll save time typing, and I’ll look like a scholar too ! Sorry for the typos ! ;0)

I think you’re a Grade A asshole. Put up or shut up. You’re not a man, merely a boy hiding behind the ignorant ideology of your president.
