CRAWFORD — Minutes before the “Peace Mom” was arrested Thursday for blocking a road near President Bush’s ranch, Cindy Sheehan said she plans to become more “confrontational” and that it’s time to “ramp up” peace efforts.

“We’re the only people that can stop Bush now,” she said, standing with about 30 other peace protesters at a barricaded Secret Service checkpoint outside the Crawford-area ranch.

Bush was meeting with top advisers to consider strategy in the Iraq war, including a possible surge in troop levels.

About 20 minutes after talking about her new plan, called a “peace surge” as a poke at Bush, Sheehan, 49, and four other protesters lay down in front of Secret Service barricades and refused to move. Texas Department of Public Safety troopers carried each one off the roadway and to a ditch along the side of the road — their hands tied with flexible nylon ties, a gentler handcuff police often use during protests.

It was Sheehan’s first arrest at the Bush ranch in McLennan County.
