What one British widow will tell Mr Bush this week ...
"My husband died in vain"

President George Bush will be accused this week of lying about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction in a face-to-face meeting with the families of British soldiers killed in the war, The Independent on Sunday can reveal.

Mr Bush announced last week he was prepared to meet a small group of families of the British war dead. The names have not been officially revealed but two of the invited families have come forward to talk exclusively to the IoS, saying they will challenge the US President to explain why he went to war without a United Nations mandate and why no chemical and biological weapons have been found.

Lianne Seymour, whose husband, Commando Ian Seymour, was killed in a helicopter crash at the outbreak of the war, welcomed the chance to meet Mr Bush. But she dismissed his claim that the 53 Britons killed so far in Iraq had died in a good cause. She said: "Bush has been suggesting that he's going to put our minds at rest. He suggests our husbands' lives weren't lost in vain. However, I'm going to challenge him on it.

"They misled the guys going out there. You can't just do something wrong and hope you find a good reason for it later. That's why we have all the UN guidelines in the first place."

Also, it's a relief to know that if any of us get shot by Bush's security team, they won't be given diplomatic immunity:

1. What a brave woman to say this in public. Now that this is out
in the news, I suspect that bush*'s schedule will probably to running late that day and that he will have to "regretfully" skip the meeting with the families.

Rove will never let this meeting happen, if he does, then Mrs. Seymour will somehow not be present.
