Quite the contrast to the image Sheehan is trying to put forth.

[Numbers Guy]

Very good piece.

Notice how it's graded by readers very lowly (2.5 out of 5, based on 191 votes so far). Obviously the fringe left is very upset with this article so is trying to stuff the ballot box.

[Virginia Queen]

Be on your guard. They must be hunting for another way to smear him.

[SC33]

Great story.

[BonnieJ]

I voted on it and the total # of votes didn't change. Also it only allowed me to give it a 4.5!

[Future Snake Eater]

I would say that Sheehan is a liar. A publicity-seeking liar who is at home in front of fawning hangers-on and others who admire her "professional victim" status. That lady needs to go away with whatever nonexistent dignity she has left.

[new yorker 77]

Newsweak lies repeatedly about Bush in order to push their anti-war propaganda.

Fake polls, emphasis on troop dead and 'screw ups', false stories about abuse, and on and on.

Their circulation is in the toilet.

Their credibility has evaporated.

A token story about Bush will not make nice with Conservatives and Republicans who know better.

[OKSooner]

It told me that I rated it 5, but it didn't increment the counter. Oh well.

Touching

[sodpoodle]

As the parent of a Gulf War Vet, I feel very blessed that he came home unscarred. If he had not come home, I hope I would have shown the same courage and grace that he did when he left to fight on behalf of the USA. To do less would have dishonored him.

In her public grief, Mrs. Sheehan's disdain for President Bush diminishes her son's honor. I feel so very sorry for her and that she is being exploited by the media in such a tawdry way.

My guess is that they feel Cindy is going too far to be effective any longer.

The President is a Good man with a good heart. Anyone that claims otherwise has an agenda that is absent of Truth.

Our president is meeting with more families than any other president ever has in time of war, to my knowledge.

Off topic:

This article states that apparently Able Danger puts Atta in Prague with an Iraqi intel officer.

I hadn't heard that before; has anyone else heard this?

"It felt like he could have been my dad," Owen recalled to NEWSWEEK. "It was like we were old friends. It almost makes me sad. In a way, I wish he weren't the president, just so I could talk to him all the time."

Most of the time the left just gets that Deer in the headlights look when someone speaks well of the president. They don't understand him, us, 9/11, or the war. I still don't trust them, my first instinct is that they're leading us on for a later article slamming the president. It would take years of positive articles to get me to subscribe again.

Not a bad story but they also could have included some of the stories of families who fully support the President and our troops. One question I have is...why do these people blame our President? Why don't they ever blame the people who actually killed their son? The terrorists and insurgents who kill not only soldiers but innocent people? After all, these soldiers did enlist of their own free will. Many of them re-enlist. I just don't understand why they can't see who is actually responsible for the deaths.

Great article. This is exactly why I cut Ms. Sheehan no slack. If she thinks that this decision has been easy for the President she is very, very wrong. It doesn't matter if you agree with his decisions or not, the truth is it was NOT taken lightly and the casualties hurt him very badly on a personal level.

Fortunately, he is a man of principle and promised to do what he believes is best for the country. In this case, I agree with him. But even if I didn't, I would trust that his motives are in no way selfish. That is transparently obvious to ANYONE who has any sort of heart.

Cindy Sheehan is not only exploiting her son and her own grief. (I heard her say on camera "And I thought I was the unluckiest person on the planet." Barf. How selfish.)
She is also exploiting the President in this situation who, despite the allegations of her cronies, does not have a heart of stone. I really, really feel for him.

[Plymouth Sentinel]

Great story, one that ultimately conveys the enormous sacrifice paid on behalf of freedom, and to a very small degree the inevitability of war, of this war at this time, within the larger statecraft that we practice.

GWB is one of the good guys and anyone who cannot see the visual toll this war effort has taken is either stupid or ignorant or both.

I'm a tolerant person, but find little for Sheehan or others of her ilk. She's allowing her understandably raw emotion to tarnish the 'memory of the loved and lost,' if I might be permitted the reference.

[bobsunshine]

Great Story.

Remember this ad about "Ashley" in Ohio. Another great story.

There have been many such stories about this man ever since 9/11. Sheehan is an aberration in more ways than one. People with wicked agendas aren't worthy of attention.

Which doesn't make any sense.... I wonder what smear job Newsweek has up its sleeve?
