Grieving mom tells of "disgusting" Bush encounter

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Mom, Who Lost Son In Iraq, Talks About 'Disgusting' White House Private Meeting With Bush</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="font-size:small;">Greg Szymanski, July 6</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><br>Cindy Sheehan has already had her heart ripped into a million pieces by the illegal Iraqi war, losing the son she loved more than life itself only five days after he arrived in Baghdad in April 2004.<br><br>...<br><br>So when Sheehan received an invitation to meet privately with President Bush at the White House two months after her son died, the least she could have expected was a bit of compassion or a kind word coming from the heart.<br><br>But what she encountered was an arrogant man with eyes lacking the slightest bit of compassion, a President totally <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>"detached from humanity"</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> and a man who didn’t even bother to remember her son’s name when they were first introduced.<br><br>Instead of a kind gesture or a warm handshake, Sheehan said she immediately got a taste of Bush arrogance when he entered the room and "in a condescending tone and with a disgusting loud Texas accent," said: "Who we’all honorin’ here today?"<br><br>"His mouth kept moving, but <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>there was nothing in his eyes</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> or anything else about him that showed me he really cared or had any real compassion at all. This is a human being totally disconnected from humanity and reality. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>His eyes were empty, hollow shells</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> and he was acting like I should be proud to just be in his presence when it was my son who died for his illegal war! It was one of the most disgusting experiences I ever had and it took me almost a year to even talk about it," said Sheehan in a telephone conversation from Washington D.C. where she was attending a July 4th anti-war rally.<br><br>Sheehan said the June 2004 private meeting with the President went from bad to worse to a nightmare when Bush acted like he didn’t even want to know her name. She said Bush kept referring to her as ‘Ma’ or ‘Mom’ while he "put on a phony act," saying things like ‘Mom, I can’t even imagine losing a loved one, a mother or a father or a sister or a brother.’<br><br>"The whole meeting was simply bizarre and disgusting, <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>designed to intimidate</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> instead of providing compassion. He didn’t even know our names," said Sheehan. "Finally I got so upset I just looked him in the eye, saying ‘I think you can imagine losing someone. You have two daughters. Imagine losing them?’ After I said that he just looked at me, looked at me with no feeling or caring in his eyes at all."<br><br>Sheehan said what really upset her about the meeting is that Bush appeared to become annoyed and even angry at her daughter Carley, 25, who also attended the White House get-together.<br><br>"My daughter said to him directly ‘I wish I could bring my loved one back’ and he said something like ‘so do we.’ Later she told me that after he made his remark <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>he gave her one of the filthiest looks she had ever had gotten in her life</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->.<br><br>"<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>I just couldn’t believe this was happening. It was so surreal and bizarre</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. Later I met with some of the other 15 or 16 families who were at the White House the same day and, sure enough, they all felt the same way I did.<br><br>"It’s interesting that they put us each in separate rooms. I heard this was done to prevent any type of group outburst and since it’s easier to control a situation when people are separated. Looking back, all I can say is that the meeting with Bush was one of the most disgusting experiences in my life.<br><br>...<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.uruknet.info/?p=m13397&l=i&size=1&hd=0" target="top">www.uruknet.info/?p=m13397&l=i&size=1&hd=0</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

WoW. That's a real chilly tale, the so-bizarre description of what musta been a surreal experience gave me an image of a lizard's utterly stone-cold, reptoid-otherly -different-eyes that are a whole world apart -- <br><br>Made me think of recent discussion references to the effect on elites' of a deliberate ritual-occult priveleged-status-conditioned state of mind -- programmed to be and act like a overman 'master'; Freaky stuff.<br><br>Considering Kathleen Sullivan's claims of being ritually-abused and raped by political notables including GB 41, there's probably a high liklihood such practices continue today.<br><br>Damn, it took Cindy Sheehan a whole year to work up the nerve to talk about this. I recall seeing and hearing her testimony at the Conyers DSM meeting and immediately responding to her warm, vibrant and vital human character, speaking so passionately and determinately about the incomprehensible depths of tragedy and suffering caused by the Iraq war -- and IIRC, she spoke her open letter to Prez. (sic) Bush -- a stinging rebuke, holding nothing back -- man, I admired her courage and inner strength to be so bold as to damn-near damn Bush to Hell for the uneccesary pain and grief he and his cadre of bootlicking sycophants have caused. I thought, "You GO, Grrrrl!" Of course we didn't know this experience was in the back of her mind, probably inspiring her to raise her voice against the kind of massive hypocrisy and lies, the lack of all compassion and decency that is the horror at the core of the Bush Machine's staged PR image.

Did he think he was at a hog rasslin' contest? "Who we all honorin' here?" He's not even FROM Texas. What a buffoon. Unfortunately, he's not harmless. It does sound more and more as though he has been programmed for the job. Nobody is THAT callous and hollow. What a stomach-turning story! <p></p><i></i>

You have to remember that this is a spoiled, very vengeful man whose developmental age is about 13, who probably never worked a day in his life before he became governor, and probably very little then. Here he is as president, being "forced" to work at something, and that something this time is for political expediency. What is that something? Meet with the wives, husbands, parents, maybe children of people who died for his lies and incompetence. I would imagine that chore did not sit well, and I can just imagine him thinking to himself, "I wish you people would just get the fuck out of here", which would be a bit incongruent with the role he was playing, hence the lack of congruence between his facial expression and what he was trying to portray. Just picture a kid who is being forced to apologize for torturing a cat. <p></p><i></i>

Here's a curiously discordant factoid I found when looking up the Robin information. In a short one page bio on the White House site, of all the information they could have included on her they chose to say "Today Barbara Bush lives in a home she and her husband built in Houston, Texas, where she enjoys being part of the community."<br><br>"<!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/firstladies/bb41.html">www.whitehouse.gov/histor.../bb41.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>My parents built our house when I was growing up. I remember my mom mixing cement and hauling cinder blocks. Is this what Barbara Bush did? Or even if she didn't actually do any construction, why is it noteworthy that wealthy people might have a house built for them, rather than move into a "used" house?<br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
