The Furious Spinner

Cindy Sheehan's son Casey Sheehan was killed in Iraq in April 2004. Sheehan wants to know why, so she's plunked herself down outside Bush's vacation spot to ask him, since he's the one who lied to Congress and the American people about the reasons we needed to go to war. I'd like answers to those questions too, Mr. Emperor With No Clothes. I heard Sheehan on The Randi Rhodes Show today, and she said she's been informed she may be declared a security risk on Thursday and carted away. Why Thursday? That's when Condi and Rummy show-up. Hmmmm. If she's such a big security risk, why is it all right to let her stay "near" the President of the United States but not the other architects of this war?

She says she'd love to see more people down there, so if you're in the vicinity (Texas), drop on by. You can see how to help Cindy by going to the Gold Star Families for Peace website.

By the way, she had a meeting with Bush previously, and she was stunned by it. He kept calling her "Ma" or "Mom," she said, and he demonstrated no true compassion. According to the Lewis News interview, Sheehan said, "The whole meeting was simply bizarre and disgusting, designed to intimidate instead of providing compassion. He didn’t even know our names. Finally I got so upset I just looked him in the eye, saying ‘I think you can imagine losing someone. You have two daughters. Imagine losing them?’ After I said that he just looked at me, looked at me with no feeling or caring in his eyes at all."

She says Americans need to wake up to the reality of this war and demand an end to it.

We're sorry for your loss, Cindy, and we admire your courage. 0 comments
