Mother of a killed American soldier waits for Bush’s explanations near President’s ranch

A desperate mother of an American soldier killed in Iraq says she is determined to continue protest against Bush’s policy in Iraq until the U.S. President speaks to her personally.

Cindy Sheehan settled down near President George Bush's Texas ranch under the burning hot sun.

Cindy Sheehan's 24-year-old son - Army Spc. Casey Sheehan of Vacaville, California -- was killed in Baghdad's Sadr City on April 4, 2004. The Humvee mechanic was one of eight U.S. soldiers killed there that day by rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire.

They are among the 1,829 American troops, including 31 this month, who have died in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.

The president - who is spending a nearly five-week-long working vacation at his Texas ranch - said in a speech Wednesday that the sacrifices of U.S. troops were "made in a noble cause."

Sheehan said she found little comfort in his comments.

2. AAR

just stated that Cindy has been told to leave or she'll be arrested as "a threat to national security". Excuse me. If this happens, we need to all hit the streets.

3. I feel threatened.... don't you feel threatened??? Or is it an

"embarrassment" to have someone getting national coverage AND telling it like it is.
