DEMOCRATS APPROVE ‘SURGE’ … AGAINST CINDY SHEEHAN
Following last week’s televised incident, in which Democratic Caucus chairman Rahm Emanuel was interrupted by anti-war protestors led by Cindy Sheehan, the Democrats have now approved a counterinsurgency strategy: a surge against Ms. Sheehan.

Emanuel, who was trying to address Democratic plans for ethics legislation, was forced to discontinue the press conference after Sheehan’s group drowned out Emanuel with their demands for a cutoff of additional funds for the Iraq War.

Consequently, Democrats, concerned that Sheehan will make them appear timid and afraid to take on Bush, have decided to flex their muscles with a two-prong strategy.

First, they plan to hire all of the former Four Star Generals fired by Bush to mount an aggressive campaign of “clear, destroy and don’t rebuild” against all dwellings used by Sheehan’s protestors. As Emanuel described it, “we don’t care if it’s just a pup tent on the side of the road … it’s going down.”
