Mad grannies on the warpath 
Just when I thought the antiwar movement couldn't get any dummer, They pull something like this:


TUCSON, Arizona (AP) -- A group of anti-war senior citizens calling themselves the "Tucson Raging Grannies" say they want to enlist in the U.S. Army and go to Iraq so that their children and grandchildren can come home.

Five members of the group -- which is associated with the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom -- are due in court Monday to face trespassing charges after trying to enlist at a military recruitment center last week.

The group has protested every week for the last three years outside the recruitment center.

"We went in asking to be sent to Iraq so our kids and grandchildren can be sent home, but rather than listening to us, they called the police," said 74-year-old Betty Schroeder. "It was their place to tell us the qualifications, but they wouldn't even speak to us. They should've said, `You're too old."'


Yep. And then called the police, have the grannies removed, and then get back to work.

Schroeder said she hopes the trespassing charges will be dropped and an apology given to the group from the Tucson Police Department and from the recruiters.

"This was not a performance, a joke or civil disobedience," she said. "This was an enlistment attempt."


If this bat thinks this wasn't a performance, she's not only to old to enlist; she's too stupid.

Splash, out

Comments:
I wonder if these grannies actually do have children or grandchildren in Iraq.
 
Genuinely tried to enlist my ass. They wanted two things: media attention (which they've gotten), and to dissuade potential recruits from going to the Tucson MEPS.

Morons.
 
I have been following a site now for almost 2 years and I have found it to be both reliable and profitable. They post daily and their stock trades have been beating
the indexes easily.

Take a look at Wallstreetwinnersonline.com
