Get ready for the Republican slime machine to unleash it's wrath on Gold Star mom Cindy Sheehan for having the gall to question President Bush just why her son died in Iraq.
President Bush dismissed Sheehan by saying that her "views" did not represent the opinions of most of the military families he has met, even though all she wants is an answer to why her sone died in Iraq. Even though, as the Los Angeles Times reports:
another mother protesting in Crawford, Karen Meredith of Mountain View, Calif., said that the president was "fooling himself" and that he had met with only a small fraction of families of slain soldiers.
As an example, said Meredith, whose son, Army Lt. Ken Ballard, was killed in 2004, Bush had not met with her yet. "I'm in his back yard, so I'd love to come over and have a lemonade with him, because many families feel the same way that we do," she said.
Not only are they now going after Sheehan, but they're lying about her argument. Bush is saying an "immediate withdrawl" from Iraq would be a disaster, even though nobody is suggesting that.
In Fact, Operation Truth's Paul Rieckhoff, an Iraq veteran, was on MSNBC's Hardball recently saying that what we need is an exit strategy. And that's a fact the Bush administration does not want discussed.
