I'm not impressed. I guess the Dems and partisan media have to stoop to cover anyone who happens to have a cross word to say about the President.

Oh well... such is life.

[COEXERJ145]

Let me guess Jill, you voted for John Kerry, didn't you?

(If she was old enough in 2000, I'd bet 100-1 that she voted for Al-Bore.)

[Blue Scourge]

First of all...you have my condolences and thank you for your husbands sacrafice, he didn't die in vain.

"It's upsetting that he (Bush) would have lied to America to get what he wanted," Kiehl said.

I'm usually willing to give a pass because of grief...but she has to realize that she can't just read something from the DNC home page and automatically believe it...to the Dems her husband was more of a terrorist than Saddam.

[shiva]

Dumb Broad.......

[sinkspur]

She's young and stupid. And, still grieving over her dead husband.

She's also likely a Democrat.

[solitas]

Some slug who has a political gripe makes Yahoo News - so?

[marron]

If she gets her information from the major media how could she think anything else?

But her husband didn't die in vain. He died to put an end to a psychotic killing machine; there are several thousand people who won't die this month because that regime is gone.

And he died to get the people behind the first World Trade Center bombing at the very least; he died to put an end to a 12 year war and a 30 year reign of terror; he died to liberate 25 million people. He didn't die for nothing.

Bush didn't lie to get us in there, but a lot of people have lied to keep us out. And a lot of people have lied to try and steal the victory her husband died for.

[inkling]

Mrs. Kiehl, your husband did not die in vain.

[CindyDawg]

They are messing with her head during her time of grief. If President Bush would speak with her like he did with the English widow it might help her to understand.

[Paul Atreides]

Yeah, yeah, yeah....Bush rigged the Florida ballots, bribed, blackmailed, coerced the Supreme Court into ruling in his favor, planned the entire thing in Texas, and provided planes to the 9-11 terrorists. He's was planning all of this, while AWOL from the National Guard in Alabama.

Be a shame if the Army messed up her pension.

[John Lenin]

Who did you vote for Jill?

[kristinn]

Before folks here finish trashing the widow Kiehl, perhaps you can explain how it is possible that she came to be spouting leftist propaganda at the memorial service.

[cubreporter]

Our deepest sympathies to this young widow on the loss of her beloved husband and the tragic loss of their baby's father. It IS heartbreaking to say the least.

He was (as the song says in the Toby Keith Album) An American Soldier. A true American Soldier.

We are proud of him and his service to our country. We are so saddened he lost his life and we wish nothing but the best for his very young widow and their baby. God rest his soul and God bless his family. God bless America too. Listen if you can to the An American Soldier selection. It seems to say it all.

"The evidence that's starting to come out now feels like he (Bush) was misleading us," Kiehl said, holding the couple's 10-month-old son Nathaniel, born seven weeks after his father died.

I'm sorry this woman lost her husband, but in her bitterness and pain she's falling prey to the Democrats' Big Lie. There is no evidence of the President's misleading us. He explained why he was going to war against Iraq including WMDs, UN resolutions ignored, and the human rights abuses of the people of the country. The intelligence on which he based his notions about WMDs had been accepted by the previous administration, and by many European countries. If he was misled because our intelligence services were misled, he couldn't help that. I personally don't think he WAS misled; I think the WMDs are parked in a neighboring country which was friendly to Sadaam.

I think it's horrible of the media and Democrats to use these poor widows in order to better their political positions and try to regain power.

[Mo1]

And she knows that President Bush lied because ?????

I'm sorry for her loss but she seems to be repeating what Kerry, Kennedy, Dashole have been yappying

[MeekOneGOP]

Here is the report from The Dallas Morning News ...

Apparently, the parents don't feel the same as the widow does. (See the video link there).

Widow of fallen Texas soldier blasts Bush

09:00 PM CST on Tuesday, March 23, 2004

Associated Press

CENTER POINT, Texas -- At a ceremony Tuesday marking the one-year anniversary of the Iraqi attack on Pvt. Jessica Lynch's Army unit, the widow of a soldier who died in the fight blasted President Bush for "lying to America" to justify the Iraq war.

In bitter comments beside the grave of Army Specialist James Kiehl, widow Jill Kiehl accused Bush of fabricating reasons to launch the invasion that toppled Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

"The evidence that's starting to come out now feels like he (Bush) was misleading us," Kiehl said, holding the couple's 10-month-old son Nathaniel, born seven weeks after his father died.

"It's almost as though he had things fixed so it would look like he needed to go to war," she said.

James Kiehl, a 22-year-old computer engineer, was one of 11 members of the 507th Maintenance Company killed when their convoy took a wrong turn at Nassiriya in southern Iraq on March 23, 2003 and were attacked by Iraqi fighters.

Seven others were captured, including Lynch, who was held for nine days before U.S. troops rescued her from a hospital.

Several members of the unit, not including Lynch, attended the ceremony in Center Point, 35 miles northwest of San Antonio.

Jill Kiehl described herself as "bitter" about Bush's decision to declare war on Iraq.

"It's upsetting that he (Bush) would have lied to America to get what he wanted," Kiehl said.

"In a way, it's like he used people. That's how I feel. I think the reasons for going over there were bogus and misleading."

Bush justified the invasion on grounds that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was linked to Al Qaeda, the Islamic extremist group blamed for the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington. So far, no such weapons have been found and little evidence of Al Qaeda connections has turned up.
