Sheehan to protest at U.S. posts in Germany in March

RAMSTEIN, Germany — Cindy Sheehan, mother of a soldier killed in Iraq and the woman who protested the war last summer outside President Bush’s Texas ranch, is scheduled to bring her anti-war message to U.S. military installations in Germany next month. (...)

On March 11, protesters plan to walk from Landstuhl Regional Medical Center to a parking lot just outside Ramstein Air Base, where Sheehan will be at a “camp,” paying tribute to those who have died in the Iraq war. (...)

With the Kaiserslautern military community home to more than 50,000 Americans with military ties, Sheehan could face a rough welcome. When asked for comment Wednesday on Sheehan’s upcoming visit, several soldiers in Kaiserslautern asked if they could be quoted anonymously.

One soldier, who recently returned from Iraq, did give his name but didn’t have much to say about Sheehan.

“Anything I would have to say about her, you couldn’t print,” Army Staff Sgt. Mark Genthner said.

I guess she'll have some kind words for the German media. And vice versa... I expect orgasmic reporting in the German media, in particular from public tv channels ARD and ZDF.

If you feel like joining a protest against Sheehan's protest a Ramstein Air Base, keep an eye on the Soldiers' Angels Germany blog. These admirable folks might organize a much needed counter-protest...

Sheehan: "Yes, [my son] was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel"

With any luck, she'll bring her supporters along and we'll get a two'fer.

Nah, probably not. You can't go to jail for insulting Judaism. Just Islam.

"...Sheehan will be at a “camp,” paying tribute to those who have died in the Iraq war."

OMG. I think I'm going to be sick!

On the one hand, she disgusts me. On the other hand, she's quite the useful tool...for the other side's cause.

It's a disgrace but there is activity against Sheehan and those who exploit her for their own agenda. One German language writer got more on it his website: www.stefan-prystawik.de

I apologize on behalf of the United States for issuing her a passport.

Look at the bright side. cindy is no longer bedeviling the lives of the honest ranchers and townspeople of Crawford. She is going to Germany and will no doubt make enemies of the people she obstructs there. All to the good....
