Continuing his five week-long escape from reality, Beloved Leader again spoke of Cindy Sheehan.
President Bush suggested Tuesday that anti-war protesters such as Cindy Sheehan, who want the troops brought home immediately, do not represent the views of most U.S. military families and are "advocating a policy that would weaken the United States."
In brief remarks outside the exclusive resort where he is vacationing, Bush gave no indication that he would change his mind and meet with Sheehan, who lost a son in Iraq and has emerged as a harsh critic of the war there, when he returns to his Texas ranch Wednesday evening.

Bush said that two high-ranking member of his staff have already met with her.
Let's see, sending two senior staff pukes out to meet with her is the same as going yourself? OK. That's consistent with sending others to Vietnam to fight for you too. Confrontation by proxy...good plan.
Bush was asked about the possibility that objections to the constitution as it now stands from the Sunnis, the party of deposed leader Saddam Hussein, could trigger a civil war.
"The Sunnis have got to make a choice -- do they want to live in a society that's free?" Bush said.
Is he deliberately obtuse or as stupid as seems? (Rhetorical, please don't answer). I'm guessing that he doesn't get this: opposing religious factions with a virtually unlimited supply of automatic weapons and no compunctions about using them on each other and anyone who stands in the way. Like the American Taliban that Preznit Happy Talk so loves, the Shiites will disembowel any Sunnis that they find in even modest oppostion to them immediately, if not sooner, when they have no "adults" in charge. The mythical "freedom" that Dear Leader seems to be so concerned with has never been any overriding part of the CheneyBurton Quest For Riches in the middle east. As long as it's "peaceful" enough to do business, with whomever is in charge, it's "peaceful and free" enough.
I think that's the truth of the "Noble Cause" that the republican slime machine is afraid will be uttered by Preznit Strategery if he goes off-message by accident.
At an August 11, 1984 press conference, Reagan quipped during the microphone check: "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."
