US Anti-War Mother Vows to Continue Protesting
Since Cindy Sheehan began her protest in a ditch along the dusty road to the president's ranch, Mr. Bush has been careful not to criticize the grieving mother, instead expressing sympathy for her loss and saying he understood how strongly she feels about the war.
But as the anti-war protest grows and the president's public approval ratings on the war fall, the Bush administration has altered its approach: maintaining sympathy for her loss, but portraying her demands for an immediate troop withdrawal as dangerous to national security.
In Idaho this week, President Bush said pulling out U.S. troops would embolden terrorists and make America more vulnerable to attack.
"I think immediate withdrawal from Iraq would be a mistake," he said. "I think those who advocate immediate withdrawal from not only Iraq but from the Middle East are advocating a policy that would weaken the United States."
Prior to meeting with families of National Guard troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, President Bush said Cindy Sheehan does not speak for most military families.
