The War Against War Heats Up
While several Congressional Dems are willing to grant Bush a 3-to-6 month window to get Iraq all pretty again, Cindy Sheehan and Russ Feingold want that window closed.
Chanting “de-escalate, investigate, troops home now,” the protesters disrupted a briefing aimed at outlining priority goals when Democrats take over the House and Senate on Thursday.
Cindy Sheehan, an anti-war activist and mother of a soldier who died in Iraq, led the group to Capitol Hill to warn Democrats that party activists expect them to end the war in Iraq and confront the White House on a change in Iraq strategy.
“We didn’t put you in power to work with the people that have been murdering hundreds of thousands of people since they have been in power,” Sheehan said.
Direct daily democracy is what it’s going to take. Start booking your flights to Washington now.
Remember,the president will be delivering his State Of The Heathen Massacre speech on January 23rd. Headdresses and ghost dancing optional.
