Lost: Where Are Sheryl Crow’s Antiwar T-Shirts?
-TWR- TWR // September 1, 2011 // Entertainment // 1 Comment
Seasonal anti-interventionist, Sheryl Crow, has lost her antiwar T-shirts. Or she is making hypocrisy – not war.
Curiously, the singer-songwriter supported Bill Clinton when he “dispatched the military overseas forty-four times during his eight years” – a modern record, according to historian Thomas Woods.
Crow also traveled with Hillary and the comedian Sinbad to the Balkans.
Bill Clinton’s anti-Serb campaigns were legendary.
Yet, in 2003, Crow mysteriously advocated pacifism, pleading with Bush 43 to appease Saddam Hussein, because interventionism was evil. To make her point, she strutted around in her “War Is Not The Answer” T-shirt, at The American Music Awards, without providing a strategic alternative.
In 2011, Gitmo is still open, bombing Libya isn’t problematic under Obama, troops are still in Afghanistan, and threatening Pakistan and extrajudicial killings are complex now.

Well, Sheryl Crow visited American and NATO troops during the Operation Joint Endeavour (1995-96).
Operation Joint Endeavour was a NATO-led multinational peacekeeping mission aimed to relieve the UNPROFOR contingent and it was established after the *Dayton Peace Accords* (note the asterisks).
I can hardly define it a war. In fact it was a multinational and “multilateral” operation involved troops from 32 countries (Russia included).
A tad different from OIF (an illegal invasion of a sovereign country), don’t you think?
Both in terms of premises and aftermaths were two totally different events.
President Bush repeatedly linked Saddam Hussein to Al-Qaeda behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, then changed idea, as well as Dick Cheney.

And where are the so called WMD?
However Af\Pak was the priority. Curiously, Ms. Crow was not against Operation Enduring Freedom in A’Stan in 2001.
By the way, Sheryl Crow visited the wounded troops at Walter Reed and Bethesda NH in 2003:
