If you haven't been "paying-attention" to the media lately, one Cindy Sheehan is camped outside the "Texas White House" in Crawford Texas. He son was killed in Iraq, and she has vowed not to leave until she can ask Bush ONE question, or until he leaves. Bush is currently in Crawford "On Vacation"... setting a new record for the MOST vacation time spent by any president. Yesterday, Bush "blew-her-off" by ignoring her gathering protest... speeding off to attend a Republican "fund-raiser" .... a "barbeque" at a ranch which sells and conducts organized "hunts" of captive game.. One of those "shooting-fish-in-a-barrel" types of "Hunting", where rich assholes can shoot defenseless "wild" game. In a convoy of 15 armored vehicles, Bush sped by to raise an estimated two million dollars for his lying, criminal cohorts. Meanwhile, the Neo-Con operatives have organized bus-loads of "ditto-heads" to disrupt and harrass her and anyone else who comes to Crawford. The weekend will be VERY interesting. In a prepared "speech", Bush countered her protest . THREE times, he referred to American casualties as "The fallen", or "Those who have fallen". Hearing this, I could NOT have been more disgusted and nauseated!! His "spin-doctors" have labeled valiant American soldiers with a label that makes them sound like they might have tripped and fallen... perhaps they have skinned their shins!! THEY HAVEN'T "FALLEN", THEY ARE DEAD!!! Bush's attempts to make-light of this fact are disgusting and an insult to military members everywhere!! What is MORE disgusting, is the fact that his war-profiteering , greed, and lies are the DIRECT cause of their deaths!! Why has no-one else "seized-upon" this "spin"??? It is truly outrageous for Bush to minimize the losses and grief of patriotic Americans by calling them "Those who have fallen"!!!.... THEY ARE DEAD, YOU LYING INCOMPETANT BASTARD!!! Dave
