That's enough now...
During a slow news cycle, the press have picked up on the story of a mother, Cindy Sheehan, who lost a son serving in Iraq and is now holding a "vigil", "protest", "sit-in", or whatever you want to call it, outside the Presidents ranch near Crawford, Texas. She's claiming that she will not leave until she get's some face to face time with Dubya and have him answer some questions on why her son was sent there in the first place. I think all reasonable people can agree that what she's gone through is the most difficult thing in life to get over, the loss of a son or daughter. Even more reasonable people can agree that her son was killed unneccesarily due to the bungling of an occupation in Iraq by this administration. Having said that, that's enough. It's time for Mrs. Sheehan to leave and bring the circus she and the press created with her and go home. For better or worse, Bush has told the American people many times what he thinks he invaded Iraq for, although most sane people can see that he's made the problem much worse in the long run. Cindy Sheehan will never get the answers or resolution she's looking for from this. The residents that live around Dubya's ranch are getting very restless and I'm afraid it won't be much longer before someone get's hurt on either side of the debate, either the war protesters or the groups that have shown up to show support for the President. Just yesterday one of Dubya's supporters thought he'd get his point across by running over with his truck the makeshift memorial of white crosses that has been put up to honor our troops. What a disgusting display by this man. He was arrested by Crawford police and they deserve praise for throwing this vile, little, "man" behind bars. It's time to end this thing and go home, everyone. If I was a parent living in the area, I would be concerned for the safety of my children with the increase of traffic and chaos in the normally quiet area.
He should just meet with her, and it will be over. The bigger and more unfortunate story is this: Sheehan is being used by the far left. I feel bad for her on many levels, and for the left to use her for their anti-American agenda is sad. Likewise, this idot whom you speak of is also a full blown ass-clown. I hadn't heard this story. What a dick. But, the other story that isn't being told, is the fact that Bush already met with this woman months ago and she had only warm and encouraging words to say about the meeting. Now that she has the chance to be in the limelight (by the request of left wing special interest groups), she says he's a pompous ass and she wants answers....whatever. We feel for you and would thank your son if we could. He has done a great service for all of us. It's unfortunate she doesn't think so.
