CRAWFORD, Texas (Aug. 6) - The angry mother of a fallen U.S. soldier staged a protest near President George W. Bush's ranch on Saturday, demanding an accounting from the president of how he has conducted the war in Iraq.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Supported by more than 50 shouting demonstrators, Cindy Sheehan, 48, told reporters, "I want to ask George Bush: Why did my son die?"

Sheehan arrived in Crawford aboard a bus painted red, white and blue and emblazoned with the words, "Impeachment Tour."

Her son, Casey, 24, was killed in Sadr City, Iraq, on April 4, 2004. He was an Army specialist, a Humvee mechanic.

Sheehan, from Vacaville, California, had been attending a Veterans for Peace Convention in Dallas. She vowed she would camp out as close as she could get to the president's ranch until Bush comes out and talks to her.

1. Great! Go Cindy!

Since she's starting to get some corporate media attention, she should continue to camp out until the chimpster agrees to see her. And we need to do all we can to encourge coverage of her and of his refusal to see the mother of soldier killed in HIS war, based on lies, that is now unpopular with the majority of Americans.

2. And the end is near

Bush can't answer why her son had to die. There is no sensible answer. But his corporate world globalist buddies have never reaped higher profits.
