And She Just Wants to Ask Him Why

Regarding the Camp Casey movement, and yes, Virginia, it is a movement, President Bush has taken time from his all-important vacation to remind us all that he has to get on with his life. Unlike a certain (currently dead) soldier whose mother is presently changing the debate about this senseless war.

Bush needs five weeks of vacation, just to sit around and think up insensitive and utterly stupid things like that to say.

Somebody remind me where I read this, but the thing about Cindy Sheehan is that she, as stated above, is changing the debate.

It's not about weapons of mass destruction, nor Saddam's non-existent ties to bin Laden, nor spreading democracy (for the women of Iraq this is a particularly piquant point,) nor securing a large reserve of fossil fuel, nor preserving America's freedom, nor even about stuffing Halliburton's coffers with loot.

No.

It's about sending our young people off to die and destroying their families.

Aragorn gets it, so why don't some of your local newspaper editorialists get it?
