Cindy Sheehan

I am working up two very long posts that have nothing to do with politics.
In the meantime, here is the latest update from Cindy Sheehan, who is camped out in a ditch in Crawford, Texas waiting to talk to the President of the United States, who thus far has refused to meet with her.

He has made a statement though: behold the wonder of compassionate conservatism:

"Listen, I sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan," said Mr. Bush, who met Ms. Sheehan once before in a group of grieving relatives, at a time when she said she did not want to make a public case against the war.

"She feels strongly about her position, and she has every right in the world to say what she believes. This is America," Mr. Bush said. "I've thought long and hard about her position. I've heard her position from others, which is, get out of Iraq now. And it would be a mistake for the security of this country and the ability to lay the foundations for peace in the long run if we were to do so."

Adding,

"I grieve for every death," Bush said. "It breaks my heart to think about a family weeping over the loss of a loved one. I understand the anguish that some feel about the death that takes place."
