So, Hurricane Cindy is going to blow back into Washington as soon as the 2,000th soldier in Iraq dies:

Cindy Sheehan, the military mother who made her son’s death in Iraq a rallying point for the anti-war movement, plans to tie herself to the White House fence to protest the milestone of 2,000 U.S. military deaths in Iraq.

“I’m going to go to Washington, D.C. and I’m going to give a speech at the White House, and after I do, I’m going to tie myself to the fence and refuse to leave until they agree to bring our troops home,” Sheehan said in a telephone interview last week as the milestone approached.

“And I’ll probably get arrested, and when I get out, I’ll go back and do the same thing,” she said.

This time, Sheehan’s Fenton Communications handlers will probably make sure she tries not to look like she’s having so much fun.

Meanwhile, LGF has launched the “grim milestone” watch.

Anyone who thinks these anti-war events won’t turn into another vulgar moonbat circus hasn’t been paying attention.

Jonathan R. at GOP Bloggers: “They will call it a commemoration or an observance or some such thing, but it really is nothing more to them than a gift: and excuse to once again show their opposition to the war on terror.”

Bill Quick: Huh? Who she?

Bob at The Madison Freedom Fighter has alternative protest locations for Sheehan and Company.

You’ll excuse me if I’ve gone a little overboard in characterizing them as ready to celebrate. But it was the anti-war crowd that yelled at us before the invasion in 2003 that “tens of thousands of Americans will die” if everything didn’t go perfectly. Now it’s 2-1/2 years after the invasion and we’ve had 1,996 killed. Every one of these men and women is an incalculable loss, but where’s the accountability for the grotesque exaggeration about casualties? There is none. Being a leftwinger means never having to say you’re sorry. And worse, this same group is looking forward to the 2000th death to turn it into a morbid platform for protest.
