Cindy Sheehan Protests Obama’s War Polices

HeadlineAug 28, 2009

And antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan arrived in Martha’s Vineyard to lead a protest near the home where President Obama is vacationing. Sheehan made international headlines four years ago when she led large protests outside President Bush’s home in Crawford, Texas. On Thursday, Sheehan criticized Obama for expanding the war in Afghanistan.

Cindy Sheehan: “The only change I see in the foreign policy of this country has been a change for the worse. As Obama promised his base that troops would be out of Iraq, so far not one troop. He said that he would — he did say he would send more troops to Afghanistan and Pakistan, and unfortunately that’s a promise that he’s kept.”
