USA Today writer lambasts **, offers tips on talking to Cindy

snip
Mr. President, you should gently caress Sheehan's hands and assure her that her son didn't die in Iraq because you wanted to settle an old score. Tell her the reference you made to Saddam as "the guy who tried to kill my dad" during a 2002 speech, in which you laid out the case for war with Iraq, was a meaningless coincidence.

And tell Sheehan that when you said "bring them on" the following year, as resistance to the American occupation of Iraq began to stiffen, that you didn't mean to taunt insurgents from the safety of the White House while U.S. forces in that country were left to deal with their deadly response.

snip
If at some point Sheehan gives you a sympathetic look, use this opening to say how sorry you are that more than 90% of the nearly 1,900 U.S. servicemen and women who have been killed in Iraq died after you triumphantly proclaimed an end to "major combat operations" in that nation.

3. Please Mr pResident*
Tell us all again how what you are doing in Iraq is so noble, explain to us how this is true and so imperative that we must kill so many. Please tell us again how Iraq was involved in 9-11, how Sadamm was such a big threat that it couldn't wait. (panting at this point) How we have to stay because we've done lost way too many, How much you love and respect the fallen.
Please Mr pResident tell us you are LEAVING
