Meltdown On The Left

Cindy Sheehan has decided to go to Washington for the countdown to the 2,000th military death in the Iraq war. When the magic number appears on the Liberal Tote Board, lights will flash, the hippies will dance and Cindy will tie herself to the fence at the White House ....

Iraq War Foes Ready For 2,000th Military Death
WASHINGTON (Reuters)

Cindy Sheehan, the military mother who made her son’s death in Iraq a rallying point for the anti-war movement, plans to tie herself to the White House fence to protest the milestone of 2,000 U.S. military deaths in Iraq. “I’m going to go to Washington, D.C. and I’m going to give a speech at the White House, and after I do, I’m going to tie myself to the fence and refuse to leave until they agree to bring our troops home,” Sheehan said in a telephone interview last week as the milestone approached.

“And I’ll probably get arrested, and when I get out, I’ll go back and do the same thing,” she said. The death toll among U.S. military forces since the March 2003 invasion stood at 1,996 on Sunday. The milestone’s approach prompted plans for hundreds of other demonstrations across the United States, but for Sheehan, each military death in the Iraqi war has been a tragedy.

“To me, every single member since Number One has been tragic and needless and unnecessary,” she said. “My son was somewhere around 615, and I’ve been working so hard for peace since my son was killed and now almost 1,400 more soldiers have been killed since Casey died.” Army Specialist Casey Sheehan was killed in Iraq on April 4, 2004. Beyond Sheehan’s plans, a candlelight vigil is planned at the White House to mourn the 2,000-death milestone. Hundreds of other demonstrations are scheduled for the day after the milestone number is reached.

“I hope that this milestone marks the point when the American people realize the U.S. military is not going to stop the violence in Iraq, and they instead start demanding a political solution to this problem,” Sean O’Neill, a U.S. Marine who served in Iraq, said in a statement.

The American Friends Service Committee was helping coordinate activists to protest the Iraq war. “On the day after the 2,000th reported U.S. military death in Iraq, people will gather in communities across the U.S. to say that the countries pro-peace majority wants Congress to stop the deaths by stopping the dollars that are funding the war,” a coalition of anti-war groups said online at http://www.afsc.org.

On Letterman, Al Franken Jokes About Execution for Treason of Rove, Libby and Bush
(NEWS BUSTERS BLOG)

“And so basically, what it looks like is going to happen is that Libby and Karl Rove are going to be executed” because “outing a CIA agent is treason,” left-wing author and radio talk show host Al Franken asserted Friday night, to audience laughter, on CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman. Franken qualified his hard-edged satire: “Yeah. And I don’t know how I feel about it because I’m basically against the death penalty, but they are going to be executed it looks like.” Franken later suggested that President Bush is at risk of receiving the same punishment, since Karl Rove likely told him what he did, but he added a caveat: “I think, by the way, that we should never ever, ever, ever execute a sitting President.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
