Cindy Sheehan buys plot of land near George Bush's Ranch in Crawford, Texas.

Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq, has bought a plot of land near George Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas.

Cindy's son Casey was killed in Iraq two years ago. He passed through Shannon Airport to his death.

Cindy is going to use the 5 acre plot as a permanent peace camp. Camp Casey promises to keep George Bush company anytime he visits or stays at his ranch.

Way to go Cindy!!

:O)

even allowing for the size of Bush's Crawford Ranch Bunker (approximately half the size of Leinster) she should be able to pop off a few qaseem BBQ surprises.

Hmm. yes way to go, shame it took her so long to put a headstone on her childs grave, yet purchased this land so quickly.

Sam, this is not the first time I've seen this drivel that you've posted. Are you trying to say that the lenght of time it took to erect a headstone in some way suggests that Cindy didn't and doesn't love her son?

Maybe it would be better to suggest the massive ammount of time and effort that she has put into and is putting into her anti-war actions would be a much better reflection of how much she loved her son.

Could it be possible that the peace movement she heads paid for the land? And that this is the reason it could be bought.

If you must spin stuff Sam, please do a better job next time. Ambiguity helps for sure, but your's is very lacking in credibility. Please remember that the formula for successful spinning is:
Deceit + Ambiguity + Credibility = Plausibility = Spin.

The equation you've used is a derrivation and is substandard:
Deceit + Ambiguity - Credibility = Implausibility = Spin - Credibility.

No it doesn't !
He only asked a question:
"Could it be possible that the peace movement she heads paid for the land? And that this is the reason it could be bought."

Sean,
You have a point there and fair play to Cindy for buying a plot of land to voice her concern next to Bush's ranch but it would also be a disaster for the Iraqi security sources out there now if the American troops were to suddenly leave the country. The poor country, as bad as it is, would effectively descend into chaos with the deepening sectarian divisions. The security forces out there need more support on the ground allocating their resources to stop the sectarianism from grinding the country into civil war.

"The security forces out there need more support on the ground allocating their resources to stop the sectarianism from grinding the country into civil war."

The UK-USA axis are there for the oil ... they couldn't give a fiddler's about the country grinding into civil war. In fcat that would play right into their hands. Easier to pump the oil out if the Iraqis have no stable governement of their own.

Never heard of DIVIDERE et IMPERARE, the motto of all great imperial powers ?

Let the country pound itself to pieces with civil war. Now thats a good picture. Have the insurgents blowing up the pipelines and (disrupting) the oil supplies for the Americans and Brits.
