Campaigners flood one-woman war protest on Bush's doorstep
By Ireland Online
A one-woman protest which pitched up on US President George Bush’s doorstep 10 days ago has become the focus of heightened tensions both in support of and against the Iraq war.
Cindy Sheehan travelled to Bush’s Texas ranch to demand an end to the conflict which claimed the life of her 24-year-old soldier son, Casey, in Baghdad, in April 2004.
Her dusty roadside camp has been flooded by more than 200 anti-war leaders and civil rights campaigners hoping to use the spotlight to galvanise support for their cause, but the scene has become increasingly less peaceful.

Well, the gutless deserter isn't going to meet with Sheehan. So, do the next best thing, create a diversion, like trashing Sheehan on conservanazi republikan hate radio. What a maggot! Oh, excuse me, I really didn't mean to insult maggots. bu$h is just a rich, pompous POS.
bu$h doesn't have time to talk to Sheehan but he can call a golfer and congratulate him for his winning a tournement. Like I said, POS.
BUCK FUSH ! ;)
FINALLY, Bush's stupidity and that of his chosen, are going to be taken down by their own cowardice and greed. Everywhere in the news you hear of yet another investigation, secrets uncovered about the Repubs. in power. I can't keep up with it all! And to top it off, Bush is sent scurrying to his hole by a brave woman who just wants him to come out and talk! He hides, on vacation, in air conditioning, relaxing, while she sits out in the Texas August heat and rains, waiting for him to come out and talk to her. Americans must study how he and his corrupt militia got into power and vow that it will never happen again.
