SubscribeSheehan Blames Maliki For Breaking Fast
Cindy Sheehan claims in an interview with Randi Rhodes on Air America that Iraq’s ambassador to the United State tricked her into breaking her fast:
Cindy Sheehan’s trip to Jordan
Cindy Sheehan: …The ambassador from Iraq to America told us that if we would break our fast he would get us a meeting with Al Maliki. And we were there all day waiting. And, er, they had a reception there. And the Ambassador said that he would get a meeting with us if we would come in and we would break our fast with him. And so we agreed to it. And pretty soon they all left without meeting with us…
Never mind that Sheehan’s claim contradicts Code Pink’s own press release:
Leading Members of Iraqi Parliament Call for Meeting with Anti-War Hunger Strikers
US Fasters on 30th Day of Hunger Strike travel to Jordan on Wednesday to meet with MPs about Peace Plan and Break Fast, then on to Lebanon
Delegation leaving August 2, Available for Interviews in DC, NY, LA and San Francisco
WASHINGTON - August 1 - After 28 days of fasting, anti-war hunger strikers received a breakthrough victory for their sacrifice: Leading members of the Iraqi Parliament invited fasters to join them to discuss their plans for peace in Iraq. On Wednesday, August 2, hunger strikers will travel to Amman, Jordan to meet with these Iraqi MPs and break their fast. The group includes:
– Peace mom Cindy Sheehan,
– Retired Colonel Ann Wright,
– Iraq war veteran Geoffrey Millard,
– Politician/Writer Tom Hayden,
– CODEPINK co-founders Medea Benjamin, Jodie Evans, Gael Murphy and Diane Wilson.This invitation comes after fasters were rebuffed in numerous attempts to meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki during his visit to Washington last week, including setting up "Camp Al-Maliki" across from the Iraqi Embassy and publishing an open letter to him in one of the largest Iraqi newspapers. Faster and CODEPINK cofounder Medea Benjamin was arrested for disrupting al-Maliki’s address to Congress last Wednesday, saying loudly and repeatedly, "Iraqis want the troops to leave, bring them home now!"
The parliamentarians, who expressed concern for fasters’ health and dismay at the Prime Minister’s dismissal of their repeated requests for a meeting, will travel to meet with the US delegation in Jordan on August 3.
The Iraqi elected officials will brief the Americans on the Reconciliation Plan they have been working on at the Reconciliation Conference held in Cairo last week. CODEPINK cofounder Medea Benjamin said, "It is a breakthrough for the US peace movement to meet directly with Iraqi parliamentarians working on a peace plan. We hope to return to the US to build support for their plan."
With the increased violence between Israel and Lebanon, a part of the U.S. delegation will go on to Syria and Lebanon to bear witness to the suffering of innocent victims of war in the region.
But I guess Mother Sheehan has decided it is better propaganda to blame breaking her fast on Prime Minister Al-Maliki — or rather, "Al-Boot-liki" as Cindy so cleverly calls the Iraqi elected head of state.
As the Code Pink press release notes, the long time America-hater (and now admitted anti-Semite ) and notorious traitor Tom Hayden will be part of Cindy Sheehan’s extensive entourage.
As will Geoffrey Millard, whose military bio has been conspicuously removed from the a Veterans For Peace website after some here began to question his remarkable service claims.

Tom Hayden and Al-cin-daze, a marriage made in heaven?? Head to Cuba you two and have Fidel marry you!! Oh wait, he’s dying damn it!!
How’z about headin’ to Iran instead and having “monkey-man” Almondjoyjihad and Hugo “Yugo” Chavez oversee your nuptials?
Friggin’ asshats!!

Hating Hayden and the snagoo going to Lebanon and Syria? Hmmmmm…..What beautiful targets of opportunity they make. Someone send a memo to the IDF….quick.
August 2nd, 2006 at 8:59 pm
I was going to post something along the lines of “hoping for an aviation disaster” but that would include too many innocents WI. Your memo to the IDF cuts to the chase, so to speak. LOL

Ha. Al-Maliki didn’t make her break her fast. Ben & Jerry did.

The people posting at Randi’s site are drowning in the vat of kool-aid. I loved the little moving Icons or whatever you call those things….the smiley faces dancing around oblivious to the world around them. Someone should tell them that swimming in koolaid while wearing tinfoil hats and swimming trunks is hazadous to your health.

This is the funniest comment, I thought, on the Randi Rhodes site:
“I hope she has a lot of protection with her when she goes…who knows what they will do with her out of our sight.
By “protection,” do they mean, CONDOMS? I am certain that they can’t be referring to firepower–given that she’s a pacifist, and given that she was supposedly “invited” there.
Shee-hag seems to be unaware that Prime Minister al-Maliki was democratically ELECTED by the Iraqi people, after Saddam was overthrown.
But, I guess being “democratically elected” in her little mind only applies to Hugo.

Surely Medea has given Cindy some of these as freebies:

See the dimwit in the solid pink fru-fru dress? Is that the Yellow pages under her chair? And what about those two white bags to the right of her chair? Chinese take-out? Or maybe Italian? Why does Al-Cin-Deh have her phone in her hand? Reorders?
Someone needs to tell these women the attributes of lycra (as in girdles).
The sad part is not that Al-Cin-Deh is so stupid, the sad part is that there ae people stupid enough to buy into her carnival act.

Ah, Cindy Sheehan, paragon of moral virtue.
Isn’t it tragically funny that people like Sheehan and Moore are so fond of calling Bush a “liar”? Their entire livelihoods are based on making shit up.

Well, apparently she really is going to Jordan. I wonder how Prime Minister al-Maliki feels about these anonymous Iraqi parliamentarians meeting with the group? Geoffrey Millard, bum leg and all (LOL!) is accompanying them, too.
He must be their “bodyguard.”
This from The Jordan Times:
Iraqi parliamentarians to discuss peace plan with anti-war hunger strikers
AMMAN (JT) — A group of American anti-war hunger strikers are scheduled to arrive in Jordan today to meet with Iraqi parliamentarians to discuss peacemaking in the war-ravaged country.
The group, which includes peace activist Cindy Sheehan, have staged a month-long hunger strike in protest at the existence of American troops in Iraq.
“After 28 days of fasting, anti-war hunger strikers received a breakthrough victory for their sacrifice. Members of the Iraqi parliament invited fasters to join them to discuss their plans for peace in Iraq,” according to a press release received on Wednesday.
The Iraqi parliamentarians agreed to meet with the activists after their attempts to hold talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki during his recent visit to Washington were rebuffed.
The parliamentarians also expressed concern for the hunger strikers’ health.
In addition to Sheehan, whose son was killed in active service in Iraq last year, the group includes Retired Colonel Ann Wright, Iraq war veteran Geoffrey Millard, Politician/Writer Tom Hayden, CODEPINK co-founders Medea Benjamin, Jodie Evans, Gael Murphy and Diane Wilson.
During the meeting, the Iraqi officials will brief the activists on a peace plan they have been working on at the National Reconciliation Conference held in Cairo last week. CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin said: “It is a breakthrough for the US peace movement to meet directly with Iraqi parliamentarians working on a peace plan. We hope to return to the US to build support for their plan.”
Benjamin was arrested last Wednesday for disrupting the Iraqi premier’s address to the US Congress, saying loudly and repeatedly, “Iraqis want the troops to leave, bring them home now!”
The group also set up “Camp Al Maliki” across from the Iraqi embassy and published an open letter to him in one of the largest Iraqi newspapers, said the press release received by The Jordan Times.
After their meeting here, the activists will travel to Lebanon to obtain a first- hand view of the destruction caused by the Israeli offensive.
The trip is being sponsored by CODEPINK: Women for Peace and the human rights group Global Exchange.

Wait, I thought she blamed her trip to Venice for ‘falling off’ her fast. Now it’s the Iraqi Ambassador. It is already set up in this article to blame her ‘peace mission’ to Jordan for it. Typical of the Moore/Sheehan/Codepinkos wacko bunch - the truth isn’t important in our mission to destroy America. Also typical liberal - it’s always someone else’s fault. Never an ounce of personal responsiblity.
I hope that there is violence directed at them in Jordan - not that I want innocents in jeopardy and I certainly don’t want to hear the martyred for the ’cause’ crap that will ensue - but with typical liberal abandoned - ‘Mother’ Sheehan will be forgotten faster than the anti-war movement can say ‘Who?’ So at least we wouldn’t have to see or hear her again.
August 3rd, 2006 at 1:12 pm
“Wait, I thought she blamed her trip to Venice for ‘falling off’ her fast.”
That statement is now inoperable.
This one will also be inoperable as soon as she “breaks her fast” in Amman.
For enlightened minds like Cindy’s words have no real meaning. They are just tools to power.
So she says whatever she thinks will get her attention and sympathy.

OK fellow S&L’ers, help me out here. I’m finding the woman in the picture at the top of this thread -the one on the far right- curiously arousing (maybe it’s because she’s on the ‘far right’). It’s been bugging me ever since I first saw her.
Whaddaya think? Would she go for a furry old Canuck warmongering neocon?
I mean I could take her out for a huge moose steak, with a baked potato (with cheddar and bacon bits), and broccoli on the side (with cheddar and bacon bits) and an appetizer of garlic bread (with mozzarella and bacon bits) and we could split a bottle of red wine (with bacon bits). She’d probably appreciate it after all that fasting.
Do you’se think I could bring her into the conservative fold?
Or should I take 1st up on one of his 17 different women he’s offered to ship north from Alabama?
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:25 pm
Yeah, and I love the fact that their fast and loose misuse of words haven’t gotten them the power they crave. If the msm didn’t also suffer from such a serious case of bds - they’d be the laughing stock of the press.
I have to figure that her ‘fasting’ packed on the pounds for all the traveling she is doing - no need for ‘Mother’ Sheehan to get weak when the media spotllight will actually be on her and she might actually have to act like she’s fasting.
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:55 pm
DW - Be careful about 1st’s women. If ya go that route you’ll have to substitute bacon bits with okra :)
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:58 pm
We keep reading in these new releases about these 5 Iraqi guys who are going to me with the hag….but never their names… who are they???
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:00 pm
I resemble that remark - there is nothing wrong with okra. Waiting patiently to harvest our own.
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:03 pm
Mama - No offense meant - When 1st gets off the golf course he’ll chime in I’m sure. :)
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:14 pm
Too damn hot to play golf around here this week. 96 F with a HI of 108 today.Had to carry my mother to Huntsville today for her checkup.
And Billy Sue aint bad of her age, 17. She only has 4 kids, well 3 I am sure of. She has most of her teeth, she hardly limps anymore and most of her hair has grown back since that unfortunate propane accident. For some strange reason she dont like okra, but she can clean a chicken neck clean as a whistle.
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:26 pm
LMAO - Classic 1st :)
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:07 pm
What a “fast”. Guaranteed to make you fat. All those Code Pink idiots look like they buy their 50’s-style clothes at rummage sales. Tacky broads.
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:13 pm
1st, I check in here every afternoon not just to get an update on world affairs, but to hear what’s on the dinner (supper?) menu at your house.
What’s cooking tonight?
Damn, I wish I could cook like you! (I’ll bet my family does, too!)
I do know how to make cornbread–but, more often, I cheat and use one of those “Jiffy” boxed mixes.
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:17 pm
DW–regarding that woman that you find “curiously arousing–” (the one whom another poster compared to Ruth Buzzi, which is dead on…)
Note the large purse placed strategically over her abdomen.
This is a classic ploy used to disguise a huge gut.
Cindy didn’t have the class to disguise her multiple rolls, but at least this woman tried, I’ll say that for her.
(Wonder what it looked like before she began “fasting?”)

Missing letter ‘e’ causes peace mom confusion, weight gain
By PaisleyCow
War protestor and accomplished ditch-sitter Cindy Sheehan revealed today the reason she has looked so well-fed since beginning her ‘Troops Home’ hunger strike: poor understanding of the English language.
“Feast, fast, it’s an easy mistake to make,” explained Sheehan.
While other protestors have been starving themselves of food as part of a ‘rolling fast,’ Sheehan apparently misunderstood the concept and has been eating heartily at every meal since the strike began as part of a personal ‘rolling feast.’
“How are we supposed to roll if we don’t feast ourselves into shape?” Sheehan inquired. When asked what she meant by getting into shape, the peace mom replied, simply, “Round is a shape.”
“I don’t know why we are supposed to roll, but if it helps stop—Are you gonna eat that mayo?—if it helps stop that Warmonger-in-Chief from killing more Americans, then I’m all for it.”
Despite massive weight-gains, wide public opposition to her message, and bloated claims of her strike’s effectiveness, Sheehan remains in good spirits: “I keep charts of donations, my blood pressure, and my cholesterol. I use them to make sure I’m not biting off more than I can chew,” joked the corpulent Californian.
She then added, more seriously, “But they also remind me that feasting, er…fasting is something my lovely son Casey would have wanted me to do. He told me that once. He said, ‘Mom, if I die in an unjust war for oil profits, I need you to eat for me. Eat for all of those poor starving Middle Eastern kids who can’t eat for themselves.’ And that’s why I do this. I do it for the kids. But also because I love food. But it’s more for the kids. But also for the free meals everybody gives me. And for the kids!”
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:30 pm
LOL, PaisleyCow!! Good one!
I particularly like this quote:
“Feast, fast, it’s an easy mistake to make.” .
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:37 pm
It is breakfast night tonight, Thick sliced bacon, Freedom Toast made with brown sugar and cinnammon bread, sliced tomato fresh out of the garden, with seedless watermelon for dessert.
Good post PaisleyCow and as sad as it is, it is a true story I have no doubt.
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:16 pm
Please please please let her and her gang go to Syria. Especially now when Israel might just drop the bomb there.
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:18 pm
Last I heard they were going to tour Lebanon on the way to Crawford.
BTW, when does the Bitch in the Ditch kick off this year?
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:34 pm
PaisleyCow - great story, it is just so dead on - could actually be an interview with ‘Mother’ Sheehan. Too bad you forgot to mention that her son was killed in Iraq (which I believe is required in all msm stories on her). BTW - Michelle Malkin has that Valley girl whine of hers down pat.
They changed the dates for the start of the bitch in a ditch tour (Sunday Aug 6th - Saturday September 2) - I suspect that once again about mid-way through ‘Mother’ Sheehan will experience another ‘family emergency’ that requires her to leave.
The ‘Heart’ of TX is not the place to vacation in the dead of summer - it is one of the reasons (in addition to the fact that Crawford is an hour from Waco, 1.5 hours from Dallas and at least 2 hours from Austin - in other words in the middle of nowhere) that the press pandered to her and her ‘bitch in a ditch’ tour last year - some news is better than standing around a small town waiting for something to happen.
HR 5772 - The Fallen Heroes Protection Act is going before Congress, it would prevent the use of a fallen Heroes name for any purpose without express permission of the family. Encourage your Rep. to vote for it - I know families who do not want their sons/husbands names used for anything - pro or anti - without them knowing about it and approving of it in advance.
