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...
Kinda sad and it is f***k up that Left would used grieving MOM to exploited to attack Prez of the US I hear there is ex-husband that not amused with her
That what I hear
This woman is delusional. She associates herself with the Code Stink nutcases and adorns herself with "peace" symbols, and then expects to meet with President Bush? Sounds like her grief has affected her mental stability.
Sweet! A long time fake conservative who has been PO-ing people for a while is gone
How come you never see these anti-war loons protesting against terrorists or the Middle Eastern despots who support them? You know--the people who actually killed her son.
Buh-bye, Native Daughter!
is her comment all it takes to get banned or did she do something else? (note tagline)
Just documentation of this lying Bitc# and her lying ways. I wonder how much money she is drawing from the DNC and Sorros???
Interesting list of columnists. David Hackworth, Camille Paglia, Michael Moore......it's like the Who's Who of nutjobs.
As soon as the word "Neo-con" is used in a sentence, auto-ignore is enabled.
She's on the same page as Paul Craig Robot.
She had an extensive posting history attacking Israel and attacking FReepers and the President as "Warmongerers." She'd throw in a comment every now and then on a pro-life thread to make people think she was a conservative.
