NAMPA, Idaho -- President Bush today took direct aim at Cindy Sheehan, the anti-war protester who has set up camp near the Bushes Texas ranch and purports to speak for military moms who, like her, have lost a son in the Iraq war.
Speaking to hundreds of Idaho National Guardsmen, the president singled out military mom Tammy Pruett of Pocatello, Idaho, whose husband and five sons have all served in Iraq.
"Tammy has four sons serving in Iraq right now with the Idaho National Guard: Eric, Evan, Greg and Jeff. Last year her husband, Leon, and another son, Aaron, returned from Iraq, where they helped train Iraqi firefighters in Mosul.
"Tammy says this -- and I want you to hear this -- 'I know that if something happens to one of the boys, they would leave this world doing what they believe, what they think is right for our country.'
"And I guess you couldn't ask for a better way of life than giving it for something that you believe in. America lives in freedom because of families like the Pruetts."
The crowd, made up mostly of military family members, broke into cheers and chants of "U-S-A! U-S-A!"
Poor misguided simpletons.../s
Miss Cindy is not going to like that!!! /s
ouch, that's gonna leave a mark on Cindy.
She'll never hear of it. Good news never makes it very far in the MSM.
I suppose CBS, CNN and The AP are getting their 24/7 coverage of this ready as we speak.
It was an inspiring thing to hear.
I hope so.
Don't look for MSM interviewing Mrs. Pruett any time soon.
"I suppose CBS, CNN and The AP are getting their 24/7 coverage of this ready as we speak."
LOL.
Great move on the Administration's part.....playing the libs' game against them....priceless!!
I'm all for this mom, but the real deal heroes are the four sons.
apparently cindy is back in Crawford. Soon to be seeting up a mock helicopter pad (snicker) to go with her mock tears and mock patriotism.

Cindy Sheehan will arrive at the Waco Airport at 4:30 p.m. today. It is anticipated that she will make stops at both camps after her return to Crawford. All public activities will cease at 6:30. She will be grant no interviews today.
A mock helicopter pad is being erected at Camp Casey II to make the point that it should be very easy for Bush to come here and meet Sheehan.
She is going back to Crawford now. I heard this on the radio earlier. She is leaving her sick mother in California...and returning to the Bus grounds to protest.
Good Lord no -- a pro-America, pro-military, honorable, decent, red-state family is the LAST thing the MSM wants the world to know exists. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if the gaggle of newscasters cuts that out of the video, if they cover Bush's speech at all.
Thats how I read it.
