Bush’s war policies, being the reason for Sheehan’s activities, are much more relevant here than Code Pink and other groups.
CINDY 2004 THE REPORTER of Vacaville, CA published an account of
Cindy Sheehan’s visit with the president at Fort Lewis near Seattle on June 24, 2004:
"‘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.’
"The meeting didn’t last long, but in their time with Bush, Cindy spoke about Casey and asked the president to make her son’s sacrifice count for something. They also spoke of their faith.
"The trip had one benefit that none of the Sheehans expected.
"For a moment, life returned to the way it was before Casey died. They laughed, joked and bickered playfully as they briefly toured Seattle.
For the first time in 11 weeks, they felt whole again.
“‘That was the gift the president gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together,’ Cindy said.”
