Default Cindy Sheehan being a tool as usual...



LANGLEY, Va. – A group led by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan has protested near the CIA's headquarters and former Vice President Dick Cheney's home in northern Virginia.

They were protesting the use of unmanned drone aircraft to attack al-Qaida and Taliban targets.

The group of about 70 people rallied alongside a highway near the CIA compound Saturday. About half then marched to Cheney's nearby street and stayed for 20 minutes. Police kept them from going down his street.

Sheehan's 21-year-old son Casey was killed in Iraq in April 2004. She staged a prolonged demonstration outside former President George W. Bush's ranch near Crawford, Texas, in 2005.

She says using drones is "cowardly" and "immoral."

and to counter her argument, I say its better than using humans. fewer human casualties mean fewer mothers, wives, or children have to be told their loved ones are coming home in a box.

Is she the one that blames the military for her son's death? So she bitches about the "Government" letting her son die and now she doesn't want machines to go after the enemy?

She knows exactly what she's protesting. She's protesting "I HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE NEWS LATELY!!! LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME!!!!!"

That's all she was ever protesting, by dancing on her son's grave.

Drones and remote launch attacks and air support are the only reason I don't feel like ied's and suicide bombings are "wrong". They use the same tactics as us, they're just lower tech..

Wonder if she ever got him a fucking headstone?

She's the ultimate tool...but not like a Craftsman or Snap-On...no, she's a tool like that shit Tigger buys from Harbor Freight.

Except with ours, 1000 times as much effort goes into ensuring we hit an actual enemy, instead of just anyone.
