I heard Mrs. Sheehan will be protesting outside of John Kerry's house because he voted for the Iraq war.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

Is it on moveon.org?

Oh get over it Rudey - really who else should she protest in front of if she is opposed to the war?

Who lied about WMD? Who 'manipulated' intel to fit with the build up to war? Who told the UN that definative evidence of mobile Bio-labs existed? Who told the American people about Uranium from Niger? Who discounted concerns from other nations with intelligence on Iraq? Who ignored the reports of the UN, Canadians, French, Germans, Russians, and even yes the Brits? Who dismissed the general and reports that more troops would be needed? Who said that the troops would be greeted with "flowers and kisses"? Who has obviously failed to plan for the occupation? Who fired the economist who said the war would cost 200B? Who claims that the war would pay for itself are now shown to be laughably wrong? Who linked Saddam and 9/11 in speeches? Who declared combat operations over? Who smuggly told the insurgents to "bring it on"? Who appointed the General to Abu-Gharib after allegations of abuse in Gitmo and Afghanistan? Who declared that the Geneava Convention will not apply in Iraq or Afghanistn? Who policies have been killing more Iraqis per year than Saddam did? Who policies and lies have lead many coalition members to abandon Iraq? Who policies in Iraq have managed to create more terrorism world-wide?

Answer: The White House

So who should a protestor angered by any over the above protest against - the White House, as it is represented and led by Bush.

Is her protest valid - yep.

Is her goal of getting the troops withdrawn immediately vaild - nope. Simply because withdrawing the troops after making a mess of things in Iraq is beyond short-sighted and self defeating. Ultimately the US and the UK should stay in Iraq for the long haul... if only to drive home the lesson that wars should not be entered so lightly and on such flimsy ground of justification.
