Big difference is that Fonda wasn't an elected member of the US congress. Remember the big uproar and outrage over Michele Bachmann's comments on hardball when she said this?...

 

"I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out are they pro-America, or anti-America."

 

But that was of course "crazy" talk according to the MSM.

 

If this is true then this should be bigger than Watergate and these people should end up behind bars.

Codepink and Global Exchange members should be behind bars. Members of Congress voted out in disgrace.

Well, the tone of your post made me want to delve deeper into this. From what I can tell, a large group went to Iraq after the US offensive into Falujah (which resulted in the death of 71 Americans and 2000 Iraqis) to provide humanitarian aid. This was after the devastation of Falujah. Note the list of aid given to those terrorists listed in bold below. This is also a quote from the article that your source said "disappeared" from an islamic website. Another example of a vast right-wing conspiracy? :doh:

 

Californian Rosa Suarez del Solar and her Husband Fernando, whose marine son died in Iraq in March last year, led the grief-stricken families, anti-war activists and families of 9/11 victims in their soul-searching tour, which kicked off on December 26.

 

And they were unified by a common ground: A strong determination to expose the US administration of George W. Bush and its misleading everything is going OK clichés to the entire world.

 

“We lost our son to an illegal war that is now destroying the lives of thousands of Iraqi children,” Fernando said. “We, as parents, must say ‘Stop the killing, comfort the children.'”

 

In addition to Rosa and Fernando, the delegation also includes Jeffrey Ritterman, of Physicians for Social Responsibility, Jodie Evans, co-founder of CodePink: Women for Peace, Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Global Exchange and CodePink, and Hany Khalil, a national organizer for the group United for Peace and Justice.

 

The organizations sponsoring their tour are CodePink, Project Guerrero Azteca for peace, Global Exchange, the Middle East Children's Alliance, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Peace Action, United for Peace and Justice, and Voices in the Wilderness.

 

They secured diplomatic courtesy letters from US Senators Barbara Boxer of California and Raul Grijalva of Arizona and Congressmen Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and Henry Waxman of California.

 

Fernando said had it not been for the help of the two congressmen, their tour would have not seen the light due to obstacles laid by the Pentagon.

 

Fallujah Aid

Feeling for thousands of Iraqis killed and made homeless by the US military juggernaut, they raised US$600,000 worth of humanitarian aid to the refugees of the war-torn city of Fallujah.

 

In an Internet appeal, they raised over US$100,000 in donations from Americans, who found it hard to buy the sweet-talk of their administration and joined the anti-war alliance.

 

Your donations have provided thousands of cold, grieving refugees, especially children, with blankets, sweaters, heaters, portable stoves, clean water and antibiotics,” the group thanked the benevolent in a CodePink’s online statement.

 

At least 2,000 Iraqis and 71 US soldiers were killed in a sweeping US raid into Fallujah in November, which displaced some 200,000 people and turned the city into a virtual ghost town.

 

The refugees started returning to their “uninhabitable” homeland last month, facing new draconian US police measures with their finger prints taken and their retinas scanned. They were further forced to wear special ID badges.

 

Yes, those damn liberals need to be put behind bars....

So, avowed anti-war groups travel to a war zone and provide aid to families and relatives of people killing our servicemen, and it is ok? Even when the Iraqi government and our military told them to stay out? Understand that war is war and that aid may have been enough to keep some of the enemy in the battle rather than giving up.

Naw, that's not going to happen to Obama's fundraiser.

Get a grip. The US was occupying Iraq. Like most occupiers, if they stay long enough, they become the enemy. As I recall, we went into Falujah after several Blackwater private security members were brutally killed.

 

A lot of people died after the battle, and, as with all wars, many innocents. It's not uncommon for people to try to get humanitarian aid to those affected by the bloodshed. In this case there were even parents of an american serviceman killed in IRaq that was part of that group.

 

 

In the months after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003, Fallujah was one of the most peaceful areas of the country. There was very little looting, and the new mayor of the city, Taha Bidaywi Hamed, selected by local tribal leaders, was staunchly pro-American. However, events were soon to heat up to the boiling point. The pre-operation timeline is as follows:

 

On April 28, 2003, a crowd of 200 people defied a local curfew and gathered outside a local school to protest the presence of foreign forces in the city. The protest escalated as gunmen reportedly fired upon U.S. troops from the protesting crowd and U.S. Army soldiers from the 3rd Battalion of the 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division returned fire, killing 17 people and wounding more than 70 of the protesters. A paratrooper, SPC Vincent Black of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, who had jumped from a C-17 operated by the 786th Security Forces Squadron, was wounded by a RPG-7 and dramatically med-evac'd during the intense firefight. U.S. forces said that the firefight took place over 30–60 minutes, however other sources indicate that shooting continued for over 2 hours.

 

Note, the presence of foreign troops led to a protest, then the first skirmish led to the growth of the insurgency. But it was all Boxer's fault, as can clearly be seen....

So, I guess if we are at war we shouldn't have troops there? If there were no insurgency our presence would have been greatly reduced already.

Did we send aid to the Germans in Dresden or Hamburg? No.

 

We are pussified since the 60s.

Code Pink were the F'ers protesting outside of Walter Reed on Friday nights when the servicemen were coming back from dinner and movies donated by patriotic Americans. Code Pink has tried to blockade the Recruiting station in Berkeley.

Suzie Benjamin (her real name) and Jodie Evans have met with Chavez in Venezuela. They had a trip planned to Cuba before the state department told them they might not let them back in.

They also disrupted the State of the Union and Congressional hearings.

Code Pink is a bunch of F'n communists and islamofascist sympathizers.

They should all be locked up for treason. If you believe they gave the money for "humanitarian causes" you are really gullible.

Imagine that, we live in a country where you can disagree with your government.

I'm with you, that really sucks. We need one God, one party......kind of like Islam.... :wallbash:
