Mother of US Iraq casualty vows to follow Bush [WHO ELSE?]

CRAWFORD, United States (AFP) - The mother of a US soldier killed in Iraq warned she would camp outside the White House next month if US President George W. Bush refuses to meet with her here at his ranch.

"I don't understand why he cannot spend ten minutes of his time to talk to somebody whose life he has devastated," said Cindy Sheehan, 48, who has been camped out about a kilometer from the gates of Bush's ranch since Saturday.

Sheehan, whose son, Casey, was killed in April 2004 five days after arriving in Iraq , wants to meet with Bush face-to-face to deliver her anti-war message.

"I want Bush to stop using my son's sacrifice to justify the killing," she told reporters, insisting that "he needs to bring the troops home now."

This will all backfire on her and her leftist-radical consorts.
Don't be surprised if some mothers who have also lost sons or daughters in Iraq or Afghanistan come forward voicing their support of President Bush.

Seriously strong medication is in order. Possibly hospitalization as well. She's as nutty as a fruitcake.

I think every American can see through this charade...What a loser. I think her son re-enlisted didn't he? He knew what he was getting himself into. I think she brings shame to his name.

Cindy, how do you earn a living with no job?

If someone's paying you for this, who, and what is their agenda?

Rhetorial questions, obviously.

Oh, I hope it NEVER ends. She is making a fool of herself, and at the same time casting a spotlight on what has become of the Democrat Party. She gets loopier by the day, and by next week might be certifiable.

THATS WHEN WE TAKE PICTURES!

Give it a couple more weeks, and smarter Democrats will be looking for a good place to hide her away from the Media, lest she share more of what they are really like.

I imagine this is being bankrolled by the same people who support the terrorists and want us all dead.

Okay Cindy, anything you say. And this is another report that neglects to say he's already met with her once; neglects to report that she's said some bizarre things; neglects to report the people who are supporting her effort.

Well, I haven't heard any yet. I do think we need to be sympathetic for her loss. Her loss is devastating. However, I believe her son died nobley and will not admit different. I think that everyone going on about how GW should meet her, do they realize that he already did. And if he did now, again, he'd have 1800 other families he would need to meet with again. Also, she and others like her are really ridiculing him and accusing him of awful stuff.....that I think would make me not want to meet with them either.

What are the squatter laws in Texas? LOL.

Let her sit in the hot sun with the fire ants if she wants to. Ignore her. She'll eventually go home. Maybe then she'll get some psychiatric help.

Let's hope most Americans are sane enough to see her for what she is- a useful dupe for those who wish to harm America and damage her President.

She impeaches herself with her own words.
