Watch out Barack, here come Cindy Sheehan

Camp Casey is under sail for Sheehan's shipboard peace summit
Peace activist invites other to come aboard her ship anchored at The Vineyard


Peace proponent Cindy Sheehan calls all peace leaders to come sail with her aboard 'SS Camp Casey' anchored in Martha's Vineyard for a shipboard peace summit.

Peace proponent Cindy Sheehan is calling for peace movement leaders, international news 'anchors' and pro-peace members of the public to sail around Martha's Vineyard, from August 27 to 29. The meetings will be aboard the grand sailing vessel dubbed the SS Camp Casey anchored in Martha's Vineyard. Sheehan will co-captain daily excursions as she holds this seaside peace summit.

Sheehan's purpose is to bring leaders together to stand as an acting 'Department of Peace'. She calls for immediate stipulations: "I am calling in the Peace Movement to encircle our country with our united demand for an immediate return of all U.S. forces around the globe. Bring every one of our troops home NOW! We need them in our families and towns. This world needs a permanent vacation from war."

Sheehan declares her plan to mobilize peace leaders to begin work with her to draft the world's first 'Universal Peace Treaty': "We must stop the terrorizing of our soldiers and the world's civilians with the imperial sword rattling of wartime administrations," said Sheehan. "We must BE the change we wish to see in our President!"

"The time of healing must begin. The true purpose of our nation should be Peace on Earth..." Cindy Shehan.

Sheehan demands that the Obama Administration issue a mandatory end to U.S. war policy. "The clock does not turn back with a new President. We must return them all back here immediately. No more waiting will be tolerated. Zero acceptance for keeping our troops abroad!

"Security begins at home with intact families," says Sheehan. "The time of healing must begin. The true purpose of our nation should be Peace on Earth, starting with the decisive end to our failed war policies."

To the international peace community, Sheehan says: "This is our time to finally draw an end to America's wars. We must abide by the saying of ancient scriptures: Let peace and peace and peace be everywhere. I declare this to be our new national defense policy."

Hey Cindy! Is it 'peace at any price!' or is it 'appeasement at any price'. Either one doesn't work. Read your history books!

sadly, i don't think that bringing all our troops home now is going to give the world a "permanent vacation from war."

The worst part of this article is the picture of the media vultures hovering over her in her "private" moment of mourning. It is, however, difficult to determine who is most at fault here; they, for being the vultures they are, or she, for encouraging their participation for publicity's sake. She has, I fear, gone off the deep end in her quest for world peace. History, itself, should tell us that there will never be true peace until the human element is gone from the earth. We just ain't built for it!!!

To all the naysayers I say:
We can't keep killing! Military being killed ! Civilians being killed!
TO STOP THE KILLING!
We must make it perfectly clear, that the ground in not for buriel only. It is needed to cultivate.
If people can't register this, than their choices in living amounts to less that a full six-pack.
I have 17 more years to live by my goal standards, when I will be 100 years old.
I may not get thier! But I remember the coffins taken off a ship all night, right after the WW11 was over, at the Port of Embarkation in brooklyn, N.Y. I was stationed at the port for a short time, which to was my home town. We were not allowed to look out of a window. Losing some one in the military is not easy. Family members ask why?
