Bush Refuses to Meet Dead Soldier''ms Mother

Cindy Sheehan son Casey joined the U.S. Army in 2000, in hopes of being all he could be. Last year he was sent to Sadr City Iraq, and within five days he was dead. He is only one of many young American men and women who have lost there lives in Iraq so far. His mother Cindy has decided she wants to speak with the president. She has vowed to camp out until the president will see her.

President Bush, who is vacationing on his Texas ranch threw out the rest of this month, did speak about Cindy today and the war today, having this to say, "I understand the anguish that some feel about the death that takes place...I also have heard the voices of those saying: `Pull out now!...And I've thought about their cry and their sincere desire to reduce the loss of life by pulling our troops out. I just strongly disagree....Immediate withdrawal would send a terrible signal to the enemy''

Nearly 50 other people have joined Cindy in her stand outside of the Crawfort ranch with more joining all the time. Today several of the presidents aids did meet with Ms. Sheehan in an attempt to defuse the situation before it garnered even more media attention. "George Bush is the one I want to talk to.” said Shenhan. To be fair Bush did meet her along with the parents of other dead kids once already. However Shenhan says she wants another face to face meeting.

Is it really asking to much of Mr. Bush to meet with her again? He is on vacation, and one would think it would be worth it just to head off the growing media coverage of the standoff. Sheenhan, will never see her beloved son Casey again, so couldn't Bush see her one more time?
