Over the last few days dozens upon dozens of Sheehan supporters have made the claim that Sheehan just wants her “questions answered.” She wants to know why her son — who reenlisted if I’m not mistaken — died in this war. They go on to ask the same sorts of questions themselves. What about the WMDs? Why didn’t we discuss this? Etc?

I am truly flummoxed by all of this. The war has been the most debated issue imaginable for several years now. Nothing has significantly changed since the presidential election where, if I recall correctly, the war came up a couple times. The idea that the rationales for the war are just one giant mystery and Cindy Sheehan has no idea what this war is about is just public relations BS. They may not like the answers or not believe them, but the idea the questions have never been asked is just bunk.

Also, Hillary Clinton voted for the war and still supports it. Couldn’t Cindy Sheehan demand an audience with her? After all she’s already met with Bush.
