Cindy and the Gold Star Families for Peace

If the President had any testicles left, he would meet with Cindy Sheehan, post haste. Instead, he selects to surround himself with folks he knows and loves, and promote his friends.

In case you were thinking that all folks in Texas love the W, Rove and Co. here's a comment from teh GSFP web location. You can't get onto Cindy's location since it has recieved too much traffic:
I live not far from George Bush's ranch in Crawford, and I am one among many Central Texans who believe the President got us into the war in Iraq under false pretenses, and that many young men, women and children have died unncessarily because of the President's terrible, arrogant mistakes. I support you in your efforts to protest this bloody war. My husband and I, however, are concerned that with a premature wholesale pullout of US troops, Iraq will fall into chaos and be plunged into a bloody civil war, allowing terrorist elements to gain a stronghold, and potentially destabilizing the whole middle east. There are no easy solutions to the mess President Bush and his hawks got us into, but I applaud you for taking a stand. Your voices need to be heard, and if there are more of you, and if the polls continue to show eroding support for Bush on the Iraq issue, he will no doubt be pressured into moving out of Iraq as quickly as possible, to try to save the White House for the Republicans' next election.

On the one hand, on the other hand

My husband and I, however, are concerned that with a premature wholesale pullout of US troops, Iraq will fall into chaos and be plunged into a bloody civil war, allowing terrorist elements to gain a stronghold, and potentially destabilizing the whole middle east.

Prediction: if Iraq progresses to civil war the Kurds and Shiites will crush the bastards. What's holding up the process is the US presence. The sooner we get out the better. In other words, Bush was right - but about the wrong thing, typical for him - ''Bring it on!''
