| Sheehan calls McCain 'warmonger' |
| Wednesday, September 28, 2005 |
Cindy Sheehan, whose 26-day anti-war vigil this summer outside President Bush's Texas ranch grabbed international attention, met privately for 20 minutes on Tuesday with Sen. John McCain and afterward called him "a warmonger."
"It was nice of him to meet with us," said Sheehan, 48, whose son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in August 2004.
"He didn't have to have to meet with us, and he did it," the Vacaville, Calif., woman said. But she added of McCain, "He is, you know, a warmonger. And I am not."
McCain, R-Ariz., a potential 2008 presidential candidate who survived 5� years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, responded: "She's entitled to her opinion. We just have fundamental disagreements."
McCain called the meeting "basically a rehash of my views, which I've articulated many times, and her views which she has articulated many times." |
