American Woman: Part II

Cindy Sheehan, who the AntiCentenarian declared American Woman of the Day for raining on Bush's vacation parade with an antiwar protest in the name of her killed son, has declared that she won't leave Crawford until the President speaks with her about her concerns in the war. Several representatives of The Administration have spoken with her, but she wants the ear of the President.

She has, as well, already met The President in the wake of her son's death. She was invited to mee him for a sympathy photo-op with him in June of 2004, 3 months after the death of her son in Sadr City. But her emotional journey has taken her down differnet paths, and in the wake of the Downing Street Memo and various other pieces of information, she has had a change in attitude since then:

She said her meeting with Bush occurred two months after son Casey was killed in Sadr City on April 4, 2004. Since then, she said, reports have disputed claims that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction -- a main justification for the war.

''I was still in shock then,'' Sheehan said. "Now, I'm angry. I want the troops home."

Sheehan said she plans to continue her vigil until she gets to talk to Bush. ''I'll follow him to D.C.,'' she said.
