Mother of Dead Soldier Protests at Bush's Ranch

You know, I have to be honest. Sure, I feel sorry for the U.S. soldiers who are killed or injured in Iraq. These people undoubtedly expected that a U.S. president would use common sense and would not send them to war unless it was absolutely necessary. But then again, when you volunteer for military service, you take the chance that your president may act like a complete moron (or worse) and may send you off to die overseas for no good reason.

But I do really feel sorry for folks like Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in an ambush in Sadr City. She is on CNN right now talking with Wolf Blitzer. She said that her family was against the war from the start, but that her son Casey went over because he didn't want to abandon his buddies (plus I'm sure he didn't have much of a choice). Her description of a meeting she had with Bush after Casey's death was amazing (but not surprising). Bush acted like it was a party and not a meeting to talk about Casey's death. He didn't really seem to care. Sheehan is now at Bush's Ranch trying to arrange another meeting with Bush (good luck). I'm sure she'll bring down the wrath of Oxycontin Rush and the rest of the right wing echo chamber for having the gall to speak out against Bush and his policies.

UPDATE: That didn't take long.
