Cindy Wants To See Bush - Asks "Why Did You Kill My Son?"

Good for Cindy I just knew she wouldn't back down. Despite being forced to walk in a ditch and not on the road by the local police she did get to the ranch in Crawford. The AP is reporting that she did not get to see Bush himself, but did speak with two of his aids. Supported by more than 50 demonstrators who chanted, "W. killed her son!" Cindy Sheehan told reporters: "I want to ask the president, 'Why did you kill my son? What did my son die for?'" Sheehan, 48, didn't get to see Bush, but did talk about 45 minutes with national security adviser Steve Hadley and deputy White House chief of staff Joe Hagin, who went out to hear her concerns. Sheehan says she will continue staying right where whe is until she talks to Bush personally. As for the meeting with Hadley and Hagin: "They (the advisers) said we are in Iraq because they believed Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, that the world's a better place with Saddam gone and that we're making the world a safer place with what we're doing over there," Sheehan said in a telephone interview after the meeting. "They were very respectful. They were nice men. I told them Iraq was not a threat to the United States and that now people are dead for nothing. I told them I wouldn't leave until I talked to George Bush." She said Hagin told her, "I want to assure you that he (Bush) really does care." "And I said if he does care, why doesn't he come out and talk to me." As well he should. He rambles on far and wide to all who will listen about how much he cares, well let him prove that right now while he has the chance. All he has to do is show some respect to the mother of a son, Casey, 24, who was killed in Sadr City, Iraq, on April 4, 2004. Is that too much to ask of this man who lied to the country in order to get into this war? I don't think so. Because of his lies, Cindy and over 1800 other mothers have lost a child. I will let Cindy's own words end this post since it says all that need to be said: "I want to ask the president, `Why did you kill my son? What did my son die for?" she said, her voice cracking with emotion. "Last week, you said my son died for a noble cause' and I want to ask him what that noble cause is?"
