Peace activists from US deported

Now this is FUNNY, it made my day. Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin and Tighe Barry were deported from Pakistan. If only we in the US could deport them to Cuba, or Venezuela, or Uganda.

Peace activists from US deported

LAHORE, Dec 5: Two American peace activists, who had been detained by police on Tuesday night, were deported to Washington on Wednesday evening.

Medea Benjamin and Tighe Barry of the Code Pink peace and social justice movement came to Pakistan on a fact-finding and ‘peace activism’ mission when they were detained at the Race Course police station.

Advocate Khurram Latif Khosa, who drove them to the airport, told Dawn: “The order of deportation has been executed and they would like to make it clear that they left under protest. They are under immense shock and cutting their trip short. This has also caused them great financial loss.”

At the airport, they were met by a group of children who cheered them and shouted “Pakistan Zindabad, American people Zindabad”.

Medea Benjamin said: “We will be going to attend the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on ‘US foreign assistance to Pakistan’ to meet with Senators and call for funding to Pakistan to be cut.”

Earlier at the Lahore Press Club, they addressed a press conference and narrated in detail the events of the previous evening.

Ms Benjamin said: “We are absolutely appalled. We condemn the government for the way they treated us and for the way they are treating lawyers, judges, students, the press – we say there can be no free and fair elections in Pakistan without restoring the judiciary.

“We are going home very angry at the government. We see this as not a democracy, but a dictatorship. Musharraf is a dictator. If he can do this to us – we are privileged because we have US passports – what can they do to their own citizens?”

Code Pink commits treason

Code Pink has crossed the line from despicable dissent to all out treason. Now they're putting anti war ads in Iraqi newspapers. Read the whole thing at Michelles.

GOE RALLY ON 15 SEP IN WASHINGTON DC


Confronting the radical left is another aspect in the war on global Jihad. The loons who perpetrate their anti-American demonstrations and political activities are part and parcel with the Islamic movement. They're not just useful idiots any more, they're WILLING IDIOTS. The GOE is sorely needed and doing fantastic work by confronting the ANSWER/CodePink trators when they show up to champion the Jihadi. This old Nam Vet was priviledged to attent the March counter rally and it was one of the most gratifying things I have done in recent years.
FROM FRONTPAGEMAG.COM:
Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Chris Hill, the National Director for Operations Gathering of Eagles (GOE). He served in the US Army Infantry (9th Regiment) from 1986-90.

FP: Chris Hill, welcome to Frontpage Interview.
Hill: Thank you.
FP: This weekend, on Saturday, Sept 15, your group will confront anti-war demonstrators at the Capitol. I want to talk to you about this event and your efforts.
Before we get to that, tell us a bit about your group. What exactly is the Gathering of Eagles?
Hill: GOE is a group of veterans and supporters who believe that we face a grave enemy, with whom we are currently engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan.
We have witnessed our brave warriors, of multiple generations, attacked by members of hateful anti-American groups and we have had enough. We will not see this generation slandered and abused the way the Vietnam vets were. We will support our service members fully on the ground here while they fight the good fight in the War on Terror.
We were initially organized to protect our war memorials from desecration, but have since expanded to defend our military from assault. Obviously, witnessing the attacks on Gen Petraeus before he testified, and the presumed vandalism of the Vietnam Wall, both are needed. We also stand in the streets to give all those people who support our brave warriors a voice. People who might yell at their television sets in frustration can rally with us instead.
FP: Tell us about your plans for September 15, 2007.
Hill: The Gathering of Eagles was on Capitol Hill last Monday to show support for Gen. Petraeus and the larger War on Terror. We visited 70 plus congressional offices and had face to face meetings with Sens Lieberman and McConnell. That was our first push. We wanted to let the good guys know that they have popular support for the war effort and let the other side know that we are not going away.
This weekend we will do the second part. We will confront ANSWER, MoveOn.org, Code Pink and the rest of the anti-American forces who are marching from the White House to the Capitol. On September 15, we will rally at 9:00 a.m. at 7th St on The Mall and then move over to Pennsylvania Ave to line ANSWER's route. We will counter them all the way to the Capitol where they plan a die-in. They will hold likenesses of our brave warriors who have been killed in action. We find that particularly despicable since they have not asked any family members of those killed for permission.
