Why Bush Can't Answer Cindy
By Marjorie Cohn
t r u t h o u t | Perspective

- snip -

Why didn't Bush simply invite Cindy in for tea when she arrived in Crawford? In a brief, personal meeting with Cindy, Bush could have defused a situation that has become a profound embarrassment for him, and could derail his political agenda.

Bush didn't talk with Cindy because he can't answer her question. There is no answer to Cindy's question. There is no noble cause that Cindy's son died fighting for. And Bush knows it.



- snip -

If Bush were to give an honest answer to Cindy Sheehan's question, it would be that her son died to help his country spread US hegemony throughout the Middle East.

But that answer, while true, does not sound very noble. It would not satisfy Cindy Sheehan, nor would it satisfy the vast majority of the American people. So, for the past several years, Bush and his minions have concocted an ever-changing story line.

1. Bush is a coward....the Crawford Coward...
...plus he knows the answer and it is not at all pretty. It's about greed, power, oil, corruption lies and deceit. Bush can not look anyone straight in the eyes and admit that to anybody.
