It's Not Goint to Happen, Cliff

I've been trying to lay off the Cindy Sheehag posts, but this woman just can't stand being out of the spotlight, so I'll give it to her one more time. Why not? Every time she stpe out into public view, she makes an ass out herself in ways Weird Howard would envy.
Clifford May, President of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies has invited Cindy Sheehan to meet with him, along with Iraqi freedom fighters, victims of Saddam's torture chambers and Middle-Eastern democracy activists, since the President is not interested in meeting with her. He has taken out a full page ad in the Waco Tribune-Herald to do it. This is a great idea, as it cuts to the chase in the entire Iraq situation, while at the same time exposes Cindy Sheehag for what she is: an anti-America activist supported by known hate organizations. A few important points that show the genius of this letter and its author:
1. In the letter, May reminds us of Cindy Sheehag's affiliation with fringe anti-America hate groups such as MoveOn.org and other hateful souls like David Duke. If I were President Bush, I would't meet with anyone involved with those loonies, either. May reminds us of the President's wisdom in avoiding her.
2. May reminds us of the brutality of the Saddam regime, and the torture (including the rape of women and girls) that took place at the Saddam's whim and that of his cronies. May has invited Sheehag to meet with the victims and/or their relatives.
3. May acknowledges that there were no major finds with regard to WMDs in Iraq. He also reminds us that to say there were no such major finds is not to say they never existed. It was no secret what Saddam's intentions were. In May's letter, we are reminded that Saddam used such weapons on his own people on several occasions. Again, he has invited her to met in person with survivors and/or their relatives.
4. May reminds us that Saddam was harboring known terrorists, specifically Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The fact that he was doing this was a direct violation of the Bush Doctrine, outlined by President Bush on September 20, 2001: "From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime. "
5. May reminds us of the disastrous consequences of the "cut and run" strategies employed by the US in places like Somalia, Iraq, and Iran in the past.
Of course, Cindy isn't really interested in meeting with the President for legitimate reasons. She has already met with him once, a privilege many mothers of fallen soldiers never enjoy. She knew from the beginning that he would not meet with her. This entire scene is nothing more than political posturing by those who support her for the time being. She is to the left what Vladimir Lenin might have called a "useful idiot". Once her usefulness has run its course, she'll just be thrown away with the dishwater.
There is also little or no chance Sheehag will meet with May and the victims of the Saddam regime. I have already posted with regard to her situation. For her, this has never been about the war in the first place. She is simply a throw-back from the November elections of 2000 and 2004 sore loser mentality who simply won't concede these elections. It's the loss of the elections she is mourning, not the loss of her son.
For this reason, Mr. May, your letter, as well-conceived and relevant it is with regard to the issue of the War on Terror, specifically with regard to its relevance in Iraq, is completely irrelevant to the Cindy Sheehag situation. The only thing she will accept is a complete hand recount of all votes cast in Florida's Democratic-dominated counties, with all uncertainty resolved in favor of Al Gore.
I hope the Pro-America protesters that are going to Crawford have those cool "Sore-Loserman" signs and stickers. The Left really needs to get over this. Mr. May, Cindy's imminent refusal to meet with you and the victims of the Saddam regime may have one positive outcome: It may provide more proof to Americans that the President is doing the right thing, thus exposing these wackos for what they are - loony fringe America haters.
Cindy Sheehag is nothing more than a Weird Howard wannabe. Good. The more nutty weirdos the Left throws out there, the easier it will be to keep them out of power.
