Tough to make a buck..... pathetic cindy having trouble selling her new book. Maybe she thought she could be another kerry. Seems the democratic party has dropped her as a rallying point and of course the liberal biased media outlets. Cindy book-signing a very 'lonely affair' Photos by Associated Press, Reuters show 'Peace Mom' Sheehan waiting for buyers Posted: November 27, 2005 While book-signings for political figures like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Ann Coulter or Sean Hannity often feature long lines and people waiting for hours, the scene at Cindy Sheehan's book-signing yesterday near President Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch was a much more lonely affair. Photographs published by wire services including the Associated Press and Reuters depict a lonely "Peace Mom" in a virtually empty tent awaiting those seeking her autograph on her new book, "Not One More Mother's Child." The Washington Post reported the scene this way: "Sheehan found herself addressing a crowd of only about 100 on Saturday afternoon. The large tent where supporters had erected a stage hung with the banner 'Speak Truth to Power' was only partially full. Earlier, Sheehan signed copies of her new book for an even smaller crowd." Sheehan's son, Casey, was killed in the Iraq war, and Cindy has been on an anti-war and anti-Bush campaign since the summer months when she began a vigil in Crawford gaining worldwide media attention. "What if Cindy had a book signing and no one came?" asks one poster in an online messageboard. "Well we know what happened. No one cares about her but the press. Cindy is finished." "Frankly I'm amazed the DNC/AP allowed these photos to see the light of day," writes another. "Usually their photogs do their (unlevel) best to angle their cameras and crop their pictures to make Mother Sheehan always appear to be at the center of a worshipful swarm. I'm afraid someone is going to be in hot water for letting us glimpse the truth."

Re: "You are comparing Jr.'s coalition on par with Sr.'s coalition?" I said nothing of the kind. I certainly don't need to hear of the missing countries. I acknowledge them. The coalition now is broad enough. You speak of Arab countries with an indignation that they are not in the current coalition as before. On the other hand, you recognize Saudi Arabia, for instance, as a country with internal terrorist influence (and from which the 911 perps originated, even if by chance they didn't train at the anti-hijacking school in Iraq, as alleged and not disproven to our knowledge). It seems to me as asking too much, to expect the support of some who didn't like Saddam taking over a nearby country in '91., but who have grand internal fears of democracy. There is obviously a large measurable gain from our action in Iraq. You writing as if there is none is simply contrary to truth in the extreme. Dude, leaders in Iraq may disagree, but we are still wanted there, without question. Dan B.
