Village Voice On Cindy Sheehan
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in General Politics, The War On Terrorism, WarUnfortunately they don’t take her to task for her many misguided comments.
Instead, they highlight her criticism of Hillary Clinton.
Something tells me this is going to help Hillary.
“I hate to be harsh,� she said, “but we’re not accepting any excuses for not bringing our troops home.�But Sheehan isn’t stopping her critique with Bush. On the contrary, she has begun to set her sights on Congress and the Democratic Party as well. When she spoke in Brooklyn on the night before, she took note of the fact that Senator Hillary Clinton voted to authorize Bush to use force in Iraq and– like most Senate Democrats–has done little to bring the troops home. Clinton, in fact, has filed legislation calling for more troops.
Sheehan really doesn’t get it.
Making sure that we stay the course in Iraq is essential to our credibility around the world. If we go in and then pull out before the job is done, it’ll seem as if we simply aren’t up for making sure the world is safe from terrorists.

Cindy Sheehan has turned desperate for the lime-light as her 15 minutes of fame ends.
Let’s face it – she has gotten some “feedback” from her Hillary comments. Probably won’t be seeing any more of those.
As time goes on and her earlier sympathy from most Americans diminishes with every childish public tyrade against Israel, the Iraq War, Hillary Clinton and President Bush (and his daughters), Cindy Sheehan is quickly becoming a darkly comical figure that will be remembered as a minor footnote to the wildly radical anti-Bushisms of 2005.
