DONNELLY, Idaho (AP) -- President Bush charged Tuesday that anti-war protesters such as Cindy Sheehan, who want the troops brought home immediately, are "advocating a policy that would weaken the United States."
In remarks to reporters outside an exclusive resort where he is vacationing, Bush gave no indication that he would change his mind and meet with Sheehan, who lost a son in Iraq and has emerged as a harsh critic of the war there, when he returns to his Texas ranch Wednesday evening.
Sheehan has been maintaining a vigil outside Bush's ranch, a demonstration that has attracted other anti-war protesters.
Bush said that two high-ranking member of his staff have already met with her.
On Iraq, Bush said that a democratic constitution "is going to be an important change in the broader Middle East."

On Iraq, Bush said that a democratic constitution "is going to be an important change in the broader Middle East."
Reaching an accord on a constitution after years of dictatorship is not easy, Bush said.
He spoke after the head of the committee drafting Iraq's constitution said Tuesday that three days are not enough to win over the minority Sunni Arabs, and the document they rejected may ultimately have to be approved by parliament as is and submitted to the people in a referendum.
Iraqi leaders completed a draft Monday night and submitted it to parliament, but with only minutes to go before a midnight deadline, they delayed a vote to give them time to convince Sunni Arab negotiators to accept it.
Bush spoke to reporters outside the Tamarack Resort, in the mountains 100 miles north of Boise.

Oh, and, BTW, just as an aside...

SO HAD THE PRESIDENT, ALREADY!!!

This puts her in a class shared by, what, .00001% of Americans? And now she demands to be in a class shared by .0000001%?

Gosh, I despise the AP. Only Reuters makes them look good.

Why is the death of Cindy Sheehan's son so much more important than those of other soldier's who died in Iraq?

Oh, wait ... I forgot ... she's a liberal wingnut.

I would have to have to disagree with the AP reporting of Tamarack as being an "exclusive resort." It would be more accurate to say it is a "secluded resort" or "picturesque resort." If I can get discount tickets for Tamarack through my company store it can't be that exclusive.

The media is the enemy. The American sheeple need to wake up and realize that.

Agreed, but here's The Rest of The Story.

Suppose you saw a strapping young man, laid flat on his back, incapacitated -- by a cold. What would you think?

Option one: Maybe it's a really terrible cold.

Option two: Maybe there's something really, really wrong with his head.

A healthy American society would drive the MSM out of business tomorrow, because of its refusal to participate in their brainwashing crap.

I wonder if he thinks pullouts from wars are ever a good idea or he just feels that a pullout from this war is a policy that would weaken the U.S.

You're probably right, but "exclusive resort" sounds SO MUCH BETTER when you're promoting class warfare.

BTW, I wonder if the press reported John Kerry's Idaho skiing retreat as an "exclusive resort" back when he was out there. I bet not.

To really piss her and the anti-war wacko's off, camp Patriot should have an honorable patriotic memorial service for her son in broad view. You will see the left come unhinged faster than you can say "Lyndon Larouche".

I wonder if that's your backhanded way of insulting the President?

We are creatures of habit and lazy.The media knows this.

They know that some people will subscribe to the newspaper and read it every morning over breakfast even if we don't agree with it. Where else do you get the sports scores, comics, and coupons? Especially if you are in a one-paper town?

When networks design a tv-schedule, they put a show they want to build an audience next to a show with a big audience. They know that some members of the audience will be too lazy to change the channel.

Same goes for radio. Even with the Jack format. They know that they audience won't like "everything" they offer (take it as a given) but that you will be "comfortable" staying put.

There is nothing to be gained from watching the 2+ hour morning news programs, the 30 minute national evening news broadcast or any of the local morning, noon, evening, or nightly local broadcasts of car crashes, car chases, apartment fires, and bar shootings.

It's a 50+ year habit for some people.
