Why meet her twice? She's pretty-well demonstrated her feelings are immutable. I don't think ol' George is going to change his policy because of anything she has to say. And what does she have to say?

Her son died.

Well, that happens. For the parent, it especially sucks.

Given the choice, I rather expect her son would prefer to be alive.

Given the choice, I'll bet even Dubyah would prefer that her son not have died carrying-out US policy. But it was his choice to join the Army, not his Mommy's. He signed, he did the training, he fought the battles and he lost his life doing it. It may not be what we want and it damn-sure isn't what he wanted. But he did his duty.

So, how does Mom honor her son's choices and her son's death? Playing politics with her son's corpse. Some honor.

Yeah, if I were the president, I wouldn't want to be in the same room with her. Heck, I don't have to be president to feel that way.
