"Anti-war moves in guise of grief..."

Do you see deja vu, I do. Make no mistake about it - the anti-war movement has surfaced right on cue. The President's ratings are down. The horror and grief of 9/11 has subsided. Move on .org has joined a real live Vietnam rally against the President with FULL media coverage.

Deja vu. The campaign for 2006 is in full swing with 40, at last count, Democrats in Congress asking President Bush to meet with angry demonstrators near his ranch. Same old play from the same old play book. They even have a not so good Joan Baez sing along on this CBS NEWS VIDEO. http://wcbstv.com/topstories/topstories_story_224083902.html . Do you see grief or anti- Bush protesters? Deja vu. Cindy Sheehan is not credible. Gary L. Bauer, Chairman Campaign for Working Families reports:

"..., Sheehan has repeatedly claimed that when she met with President Bush after her son’s death in Iraq that he was callous and unfeeling. But, one of our eagle-eyed readers found an article in the Fairfield California Reporter in June of 2004 that quotes Cindy Sheehan after her meeting with President Bush.

Among other things, she said:“We have a lot of respect for the office of the president, and I have a new respect for him because he was sincere and he didn’t have to take the time to meet with us… I now know he’s sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis. I know he’s sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he’s a man of faith."

”Yet, one year later she paints a completely different and negative picture of the president’s reaction to her loss. Just as importantly, Sheehan has adopted an extreme radical Left interpretation of the Iraq war, i.e. that it was done to “enrich the president’s oil friends and to fulfill ‘American imperialism.’” In short, she isn’t credible, but the average American wouldn’t know that from watching NBC, ABC, and CBS. "

I differ with Mr. Bauer only in that I believe the average American can see that this is a sham. She has fallen in with angry anti-war protesters a.k.a. BUSH-Bashers. Her husband has filed for divorce and her family has pleaded with her to quit being used by this bunch and come home.
