Bush to Mother: Don't sell on eBay
Several mothers who have lost children at war in Iraq took
part in a new talk show today on National Public Radio.
One of them, Elaine Johnson, recounted a meeting that she
had with President Bush in which he gave her a presidential
coin and told her and five other families: "Don't go sell it
on eBay."
An excerpt from the interview on NPR's Tell Me More can be
heard here.
The president told her that the war goes on because the
U.S. has "a mission" to complete. But Johnson says she
has discovered her own mission now: Fighting to bring the
troops home.
Host Michael Martin asked Johnson: "What about you? Why did
you decide to start speaking out?"
"My son was killed November 2, 2003," Johnson said. "After
they had my sons memorial in Colorado Springs -- thats Fort
Carson -- I was interviewed by the Gazette Newspaper, and
that started it all.
"They said they had a mother or a person to ever lashed
out at the president, criticize the president of being
insensitive," she said. "So a couple of days after that
they called me and said that President Bush would like
to meet me. And I said well okay, only at his cost because
I was not spending my money to meet him."

"So he flew about a hundred families back to Fort Carson,"
she recalled.
"And in the room that I was in it was only me and four more
other families. And I asked him questions you know, on um
why we were over there? He couldn't answer that. I said,
well what are we fighting for? He said to finish a mission.
"I said, why was my son and the rest of the soldiers on
the Chinook helicopter, which was supposed to be only to
transport cargo not humans? He said, well he didn't know.
He referred me to General Wilson, which was in the same
room. General Wilson's response was that they, you know,
they was transporting them on that same helicopter and
never was shot down.
"They flew over Fallujah; Fallujah was always the hot spot.
Common sense would've tell them, if you fly them over
Fallujah, you should have escorts that has the equipment
to detect these weapons that would attack the plane.
"But you know, they so brilliant, they up there in D.C.,
now, that a mother with a high school diploma can sit down
and day, okay, now I wont send them over a hot spot without
protection.
"President Bush, he just didn't see that, and he told me I
was kind of, seemed like I was kind of hostile. I said, yes
I am hostile, because you sent my son over there. So my
thing is -- all the questions that I asked him, he didn't
know nothing then, and he definitely don't know nothing now,
because the United States is in worser shape now that it
was in 2003 that my son died."
Martin asked: "So when you left that meeting did you leave
with determination to do something or did that happen over
time?"
Johnson said: "When he told me -- I said whats, whats the
mission? He couldn't give me an answer. I says, well I'm
going to tell you what: I'm on my mission now. My mission
had just begun. And my mission is to fight to bring these
troops home, to take care of these troops when they get
home.
"Then he gave us a presidential coin," she said, "Now you
check this out: He gave six of us a presidential coin, tell
us not to tell the rest of the people that was there, and
then after that he told us don't go sell it on eBay. Now you
tell me how insensitive that can be? What kind of caring
person is that?"
