Bush now has a way out of the Sheenan standoff
But is he smart enough to use it.

He could meet with Cindy as a way of condemning the mowing down of the crosses. He could stand up for free speech, and not look like he is caving in.

1. He won't do it; she wants answers
And he thinks blood for oil is a good trade.

3. He won't, he's a complete idiot
He has more than a half of a month to contemplate how to defuse this situation, but he won't, because he's a complete fucking idiot.

Haven't you noticed Bush's persona is a cross between the Anti-Social and the Narcissistic?

Given the above truism, Bush can NOT conceive of himself NOR any of those who support his reign could ever do something inappropriate.

Like Georgie mocked a woman begging for her life a few days before execution, he probably got a chuckle out of the news re: mowing down of the crosses.

Please, we are talking about an Executive Branch that has no equal in American History. They are NEVER wrong. They have the AEI, Fox and all major news media outlets to "reshape reality" to fit their view of even the RECENT PAST much less the ongoing efforts to rewrite history.

They are royalty and we will submit ... the Corporate Backed American News media will do it's damnest to help King George.

6. You're right - if Bush were smart or a real president or a real
human being. But, in his heart (or whatever passes for one in him), he sides with the mower; it's something he would have done....

7. If he were any sort of a human being ...
he could have just come out right away and let her talk and just looked all sad and concerned. But, he can't even do that. He really thinks he's above everything and everyone. And he's a coward. He'll continue to hide.

8. What someone should do
make up one of those "symbolic checks" like they show at the telethons and all the "media presentations".

One of those 2 foot by 3 foot checks - with $100,000 in the amount and "George W. Bush" in the "Pay To" line.

Then ask, "Can Cindy meet with you now?"

12. you would think it would get major coverage - we'll find out who
msm is with, this of course comes at a time when the Bush cartel want no coverage of Cindy if they could have it, so-oo?

13. CNN Headline News did their best to "play down" the incident
as "destroying their symbols" ... each cross had a name of a dead service man or woman was said as an aside.

Also to add icing to discrediting Cindy Sheehan, the ultra-high platinum blonde (with a George Hamilton tan) said with glee words to the effect that Cindy Sheehan's husband is NOW divorcing her. But HE SAYS it has to do with stress regarding the death of their son.

So there you have it, the leader in Headline "Bush Administration Approved" PROPAGANDA just threw in everything but the kitchen sink in negatives as they begrudgingly reported this story.

It's hell fighting the media in addition to the heartless Right Wing power brokers. :wtf:
