Have y'all been following this story? This is an interesting twist. Wonder if this is what pushed him over he edge? Should Bush see her or is she just making herself out to be a fool?

'Peace mom's' husband files for divorce
Associated Press

Cindy Sheehan

FAIRFIELD, Calif. "” The husband of Cindy Sheehan, a Vacaville mother camped outside President Bush's ranch in Texas to protest the death of a son killed while serving with U.S. forces in Iraq, has filed for divorce, according to court documents.

Patrick Sheehan filed a petition for the dissolution of his marriage Friday in Solano County Superior Court. His lawyer did not immediately return a call seeking comment today.

The couple's eldest child, Casey, 24, was an Army soldier killed in April 2004.

Cindy Sheehan said the stress of the death led to the separation of the couple, who were high school sweethearts.

It also led her to take her activism just short of the president's door step, where she has held an anti-war demonstration for more than a week.

Sheehan, who has been joined by more than 100 anti-war activists, vowed to remain in Texas through Bush's August vacation, unless he meets with her.

She wants to ask Bush what cause her son died for and ask why he hasn't encouraged his daughters to join the military.

The Sheehans have three surviving adult children.

I doubt that W will see her but it is a good thing that Bubba isn't still in the white house because that would be all he needed. Experienced and available that would amount to a full scale assault.

I wouldn't be surprised if her actions didn't drive him to divorce. I can sympathize with her loss, but that woman is a freakin' fruit loop!

Moreover, there probably will be a big "terror attack" to come.

I think he probably is waiting for a big "terror attack". (planned by intelligence in the name of Al qaida. Like what happened on 9/11 and London bombing). Then he will have the full justification for the war he started. Cindy Sheehan, and anti-war movement will be neglected by public.
Base on my experience, in 2004, I alleged Feds had planned a big attack on 6/19/04. So they arranged "Farhenheit 911" at the same time to be in cinema. It was on same tactic.

Re:
236. Help puppet Bush (6/24/04)

There are two events in June which I think were arranged deliberately at this time.

One is the Michael Moore's "9/11 Fahrenheit" will open to public on 6/25. Which will give a negative image for Bush. If there is a big bombing taking place on 6/19 or a little later, then the film will be neglected by public.
Another event was the report issued by 911 investigation commision which said there is no credible evidence that Saddam and Al-Qaida had cooperated to attack US. The panel disputes Bush's reasons to invade Iraq. It was reported by media on 6/17. This, too, could be neglected if there was a big attack taking place on 6/19.

I agree the woman has gone nutty, and W won't meet to discuss the war with her. I feel sorry for her losing her son and all, but I think she has crossed the line.Here are some updates:

Bush already met with her once after he son died. He answered her questions then. Now she just wants to do it to publicize her cause. There isn't anything in the world he, or anyone else, could say to her that will change the way she feels or bring back her son. So I see no point of him meeting with her again.

Unfortunately, She is a mental midget in a land full of political wrangling leviathan's using her like a two bit prostitute.

Her loss is great, and her anguish is almost understandable for many...But her message is lost in translation somewhere between her first "private" meeting with the president where she praised him (The President) and her current state. (She has recently been making statements about the resolution to Isreal and the palistinians, Iran etc.) She has all of a sudden become an authority on worldly matters that many news organizations are picking up on and quoting.

She has obviously gone well over the edge in her grief...She should probably be receiving counceling rather that a public forum in which to speak...

In short...I believe that she is crazier than a ****house rat.

Yeah....right.

I can understand her grief. And that most marriages where a child dies end in divorce. But she is misguided and needs to find a way to move on. I honestly don't think her son would approve of this.

[GRIZZLYMAN]

The loon needs to leave my state and go back to her left wing state before somebody injures her. If she wants to go to that stinkhole called DC to protest,then all power to her.

Somehow the news media is "conveniently" leaving this part out (at least in the news segments I've seen). If Bush hadn't met with her, i could understand her desire to meet with him and try to obtain some closure about her son's tragic death. Since she's already met Bush, this looks more like political grandstanding and not so much about her son.
