You tell me the truth. You tell me that my son died for oil. You tell me that my son died to make your friends rich. You tell me my son died to spread the cancer of Pax Americana, imperialism in the Middle East. You tell me that, you don't tell me my son died for freedom and democracy.
Bored reporters at the ranch are giving her air time since they have nothing else to report on. Even Fox News is asking if the President should grant her an audience.
Here's what you haven't heard. Cindy Sheehan did get an audience with the President in June of 2004 (hat tip James Taranto).
After that meeting she told a reporter:
"I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis," Cindy said after their meeting. "I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith."
Quite different from what she is saying a year later while acting as if the meeting never occured.
So President Bush isn't ducking grieving parents. Let's acknowledge the real story. An anti-war activist is using her son's memory for her political agenda. She had her meeting with President Bush and now wants another chance to say what she choose not to say before.
