  • Camp Casey: Day 6

    Day 6 began early yesterday morning when people in cars drove by our camp a few times and blasted on their horns. I just assume they were blaring their approval of us.
    Before we get to the less than negative things that are happening out at Camp Casey and in the world at large, over 700 people showed up at the Camp yesterday. There were more people, flowers, cards, mail, interviews, laughter, heartache, camaraderie, excitement, and just sheer work.
    We had the first birthday party last (…)

    STUTTGART, Germany - Three anti-war protesters, including a 70-year-old woman, turned themselves in to police on Tuesday after they cut a large hole in the fence at Patch Barracks, walked onto the base, hung a banner, and weren’t challenged by anyone.
    The three Germans, the woman and two men ages 51 and 22, were apparently surprised they weren’t arrested after breaking onto the base at about 11:30 a.m. So they walked through the base and out the main gate, where they (…)

    By Greg Moses
    CAMP CASEY, TX (Part One) Thursday is only a few minutes young, but Cindy Sheehan is already running late. Rumors are percolating that police will swoop into Camp Casey at midnight to arrest everyone, and she dare not be late for a date like that. So she says, “I really have to go now,” and takes her leave from the soft light and murmur of the Crawford Peace House lawn. Before she goes however she does have time to say that her fever is getting a little better.

    In an interview with an Israelian news channel a desperate President whose polls showing each day less support of the American people for his policy declared practically war on Iran.

    sorry it is in German. But can be translate with Google language tools.
    WW III is unevitable! The American troops stretched to their ability might use nuclear weapons on Iran. That will create rage in the Islamic world. (…)

    THE BUSH STRATEGY FOR EXECUTIVE ACTION
    (A dismal dirge for a country fallen upon evil times by evil people.)
    August 12, 2005
    By Peter Fredson
    We are soon coming up on a count of 2,000 “brave boys” who have died for Bush lies about oil, bases, embassies, and invasions of other countries. Perhaps the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq will soon match the 3,000 innocent people killed in the 9/11 disaster in New York. In this way Bush will be personally responsible for as many (…)

    –
    Cindy Sheehan, speaking live on the Ed Schultz radio show (and elsewhere) on Thursday, August 11, said that the media and Congress have not held the president accountable for his actions. She added that the President’s decision on whether or not to speak to her, the Gold Star Mothers for Peace and the American people is the President’s accountability moment.
    Sheehan, the mother of Casey Sheehan, who died fighting for America in Iraq, has been holding a vigil outside the President’s (…)

    My country is in the grip of a president surrounded by thugs in suits
    by Howard Zinn
    It has quickly become clear that Iraq is not a liberated country, but an occupied country. We became familiar with that term during the second world war. We talked of German-occupied France, German-occupied Europe. And after the war we spoke of Soviet-occupied Hungary, Czechoslovakia, eastern Europe. It was the Nazis, the Soviets, who occupied countries. The United States liberated them from occupation. (…)

  • Area mother joining the fray in Bush country

    By Barb Ickes, Quad-City Times
    A couple of books on tape, a cell phone and some junk food are the only things keeping Caryn Unsicker company on the long road.
    The Silvis, Ill., woman set out Wednesday morning on a 1,000-mile pilgrimage from her home to President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas. She probably won’t get but a few miles from the entrance to the sprawling retreat.
    But she has to go.
    Unsicker won’t know until she gets there today how many other mothers from across the (…)

    By BOB HERBERT
    The news coming out of Iraq yesterday was that several more American soldiers had been killed. August’s toll so far has been mind-numbing. For American troops, it’s been one of the worst periods of the war. And yet there’s still no sense of urgency within the Bush administration.
    The president is on vacation. He’s down at the ranch riding his bicycle and clearing brush. The death toll for Americans has streaked past the 1,800 mark. The Iraqi dead are counted by the tens of (…)
