The words of Cindy Sheehan concerning her and her family's visit
with President Bush on (approx) June 17, 2004, just two months
following her son's death in Sadr City, Iraq (after only 2 weeks
on the ground in Iraq.)



"...We wanted to use the time for him to know that he killed an indispensable
part of our family and humanity. And we wanted him to look at the pictures of
Casey.

He wouldn't look at the pictures of Casey. He didn't even know Casey's name. He
came in the room and the very first thing he said is, "So who are we honoring
here?" He didn't even know Casey's name. He didn't want to hear it. He didn't
want to hear anything about Casey. He wouldn't even call him "him" or "he." He
called him "your loved one."

Every time we tried to talk about Casey and how much we missed him, he would
change the subject. And he acted like it was a party...he came in very jovial,
and like we should be happy that he, our son, died for his misguided policies.
He didn't even pretend like somebody...[had died]"
