Bush says anti-war protests threaten to weaken the United States
Canadian Press
August 23, 2005

DONNELLY, Idaho (AP) - President George W. Bush said Tuesday that anti-war protesters such as Cindy Sheehan, who want U.S. troops brought home immediately, are "advocating a policy that would weaken the United States."

In remarks to reporters outside an exclusive resort where he is vacationing, Bush gave no indication that he would change his mind and meet with Sheehan when he returns to his Texas ranch Wednesday evening.

Sheehan, who lost a son in Iraq and has emerged as a harsh critic of the war there, has been maintaining a vigil outside Bush's ranch that has attracted other anti-war protesters.

Bush said that two high-ranking member of his staff have already met with her.[/quote:b0458]

Why would Bush even say something like this? Denying our right to oppose is just proving his stupidity. Its our right and if he denies it then our country would be weakend.

Yes, but I said it doesn't weaken the people. It just invokes the rights we do have.

You said "Denying our right to oppose is proving his stupidity" which tells me you believe he said she shouldn't be allowed to protest at Crawford Ranch.

I'm not follow you with what you're trying to say...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 01281.html

from article:

Bush dismissed demands from Sheehan and others to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq. "I think immediate withdrawal from Iraq would be a mistake," he said. "I think those who advocate immediate withdrawal from not only Iraq but the Middle East are advocating a policy that would weaken the United States."

She has the right to do what she's doing, but saying that she's harming the US is just wrong.

Hope thats a bit clear.
