Bush politely rejects moonbat mother's Iraq plea
President George Bush has said he "sympathised" with the mother of a US soldier killed in Iraq but refused to heed her call to pull out the troops. Speaking from his Texas ranch where Cindy Sheehan has been holding a roadside protest, Mr Bush said withdrawing would be a "mistake".Ms Sheehan is vowing to remain until she gets to speak to the president about his justification for the war. Dozens of "Listen, I sympathize with Mrs Sheehan," Mr Bush said. "She feels strongly about her position. "And she has every right in the world to say what she believes. This is America." He said he had thought "long and hard about her position" calling for US troops to be sent home. But he had decided against it, he said. "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," he said. Some veterans and relatives have dubbed the vigil a distraction and are keen to ensure support for those serving in Iraq does not wane. Posted by: Steve White 2005-08-12 |
