Bush’s remarks came as Cindy Sheehan arrived back in Crawford, Texas to rejoin the now internationally known vigil she began two weeks ago. She was picked up at the airport by fellow protesters, some of whom served in the military. As she arrived, Sheehan said “This is where I belong, until August 31, like I told the president.” After folksinger Joan Baez performed last night, Sheehan addressed her supporters.

Sheehan spent the past 6 days in Los Angeles where she was with her sick mother. Meanwhile, pro-war activists and military families were en route to Crawford from California on a tour called “You don’t speak for me, Cindy!” They plan to hold a pro-Bush rally in town Saturday.
