"We look forward to hearing your vision, so we can more better do our job. That's what I'm telling you." George W. Bush, Gulfport, Miss., Sept. 20, 2005.
Veteran Tomas Young, 25, was paralyzed by a bullet in Iraq. Young is now paralyzed from the chest down.
Young says he never wanted to go to Iraq; he enlisted two days after 9-11 because he wanted to hunt down terrorists in Afghanistan. Last month, he joined the pilgrimage to Crawford to ask Bush why he sent him to fight the wrong war. Bush said he wouldnt meet with Cindy because hed already met with her in 2004, Young says. I figured my life has been severely impacted. So I wanted to hear his excuse about not meeting with me.
