It all about her and no one else.

The mother of a fallen U.S. soldier who is holding a roadside peace vigil near President Bush's ranch -- has dramatically changed her account about what happened when she met the commander-in-chief last summer!
Cindy Sheehan, 48, of Vacaville, Calif., who last year praised Bush for bringing her family the "gift of happiness," took to the nation's TV outlets this weekend to declare how Bush "killed an indispensable part of our family and humanity."

THE REPORTER of Vacaville, CA published an account of Cindy Sheehan's visit with the president at Fort Lewis near Seattle on June 24, 2004:
"'I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis,' Cindy said after their meeting. 'I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith.'
"The meeting didn't last long, but in their time with Bush, Cindy spoke about Casey and asked the president to make her son's sacrifice count for something. They also spoke of their faith.
"The trip had one benefit that none of the Sheehans expected.
"For a moment, life returned to the way it was before Casey died. They laughed, joked and bickered playfully as they briefly toured Seattle.
For the first time in 11 weeks, they felt whole again.
"'That was the gift the president gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together,' Cindy said."

Sheehan's current comments are a striking departure.
She vowed on Sunday to continue her protest until she can personally ask Bush: "Why did you kill my son?"
In an interview on CNN, she claimed Bush "acted like it was party" when she met him last year.
"It was -- you know, there was a lot of things said. We wanted to use the time for him to know that he killed an indispensable part of our family and humanity. And we wanted him to look at the pictures of Casey.
"He wouldn't look at the pictures of Casey. He didn't even know Casey's name. He came in the room and the very first thing he said is, 'So who are we honoring here?' He didn't even know Casey's name. He didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to hear anything about Casey. He wouldn't even call him 'him' or 'he.' He called him 'your loved one.'
Every time we tried to talk about Casey and how much we missed him, he would change the subject. And he acted like it was a party.
BLITZER: Like a party? I mean...
SHEEHAN: Yes, he came in very jovial, and like we should be happy that he, our son, died for his misguided policies. He didn't even pretend like somebody...
END
On her current media tour, Sheehan has not been asked to explain her twist on Bush; from praise to damnation!
Developing...
wouldn't the proper expression be:
neo-unconservative
has a better ring to it. . . . lefty.
As I said on another thread, Cindy Sheehan is now reporting she is going to be arrested as "a threat to national security". Somehow I doubt it.
This what you mean LUV
Yeah how does mother goes from praising Bush one year to diss him next year
I don't get that
Perhaps Slick Willy Jeff and his magic fingers have something to do with it?
or maybe Soro's and Corzine's personal bribe accounts?
I see plenty of reasons
Our enemies actually live in America...
She probably had a recent meeting with Jane the ignorant slut!
I've noticed that for several years we're ahead of the "leading edge"-- more like the bleeding edge-- if you sort through all the commentary and reference links, you can learn more in a few minutes than from hours of other sources.
It all about her and no one else.
The only question is why she changed her story.
Money? Publicity? Or, if generous, a year of listening to MSM propaganda while grieving a son...it is possible that her grief could be directed to a source it wasn't initially.
Whatever the cause, her actions are wrong. Just placing her first statement next to her new is the sum of what is necessary to discredit her current words.
I'll pray for peace for her, but will not pretend her actions now are correct.
Since that time she has been brainwashed by Code Pink and other anti-American groups. The MSM needs to know this. They think she is alone in her protest. They don't realize that Code-Pink and other groups are supporting her. THAT information has to be shoved in the media's face.
And much of that is thanks to you. Thanks for posting the links. :)
I wonder if this woman wishes she had died in her son's place. Gotta admit it wouldn't have been a bad deal.
Your posts below are only part of your bigoted rants
and your neo-con code word for Jewish.
Why don't you goose step right along to where your type
are wanted.

it's sad that our Middle Eastern foreign policy is dominated by an obession with Israel....that's one of the main reasons we are in this needless war in Iraq....
Well, thank you very kindly.
You're welcome. :)
