Open Letter to George's Mama (Cindy Sheehan BARF Alert)
http://www.michaelmoore.com/mustread/index.php ^ | nov | cindy sheehan

Dear Barbara,

On April 04, 2004, your oldest child killed my oldest child, Casey Austin Sheehan.

Unlike your oldest child, my son was a marvelous person who joined the military to serve his country and to try and make the world a better place. Casey didn't want to go to Iraq, but he knew his duty. Your son went AWOL from a glamour unit. George couldn't even handle the Alabama Air National Guard. Casey joined the Army before your son became commander in chief. We all know that your son was thinking of invading Iraq as early as 1999. Casey was a dead man before George even became president and before he even joined the Army in May of 2000.

I raised Casey and my other children to use their words to solve problems and conflicts. I told my four children from the time that they were small that it is ALWAYS wrong to kick, bite, hit, scratch, pull hair, etc. If the smaller children couldn't find the words to solve their conflicts without violence, I always encouraged them to find a mediator like a parent, older sibling, or teacher to help them find the words.

Did you teach George to use his words and not his violence to solve problems? It doesn't appear so. Did you teach him that killing other people for profits and oil is ALWAYS wrong? Obviously you did not. I also used to wash my children's mouth out with soap on the rare occasion that they lied... did you do that to George? Can you do it now? He has lied and he is still lying. Saddam did not have WMDs or ties with al-Qaeda and the Downing Street Memos prove that your son knew this before he invaded Iraq.

On August 3rd, 2005, your son said that he killed my son and the other brave and honorable Americans for a "noble cause." Well, Barbara, mother to mother, that angered me. I don't consider invading and occupying another country that was proven not to be a threat to the USA is a noble cause. I don't think invading a country, killing its innocent citizens, and ruining the infrastructure to make your family and your family-friendly war profiteers rich is a noble cause.

So I went down to Crawford in August to ask your son what noble cause did he kill my son for. He wouldn't speak with me. I think that showed incredibly bad manners. Do you think a president, even if it is your son, should be so inaccessible to his employers? Especially one of his bosses whose life George has devastated so completely?

I have been to the White House several times since August to try and meet with George and I am going back to Crawford next week. Do you think you can call him and ask him to do the right thing and bring the troops home from this illegal and immoral war in Iraq that he carelessly started? I hear you are one of the few people he still talks to. He won't speak to his father, who knew the difficulties and impossibilities of going into Iraq and that's why he didn't go there in the 1st Gulf War. If you won't tell him to bring the troops home, can you at least urge him to meet with me?

You said this in 2003, a little over a year before my dear, sweet Casey was killed by your son's policies:

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" (Good Morning America, March 18, 2003)

Now I have something to tell you, Barbara. I didn't want to hear about deaths or body bags either. On April 04, 2004, three Army officers came to my house to tell me that Casey was killed in Iraq. I fell on the floor screaming and begging the cruel Angel of Death to take me too. But the Angel of Death that took my son is your son.

Casey came home in a flag draped coffin on April 10th. I used to have a beautiful mind too. Now my mind is filled with images of seeing his beautiful body in his casket and memories of burying my brave and honest boy before his life really began. Casey's beautiful mind was ended by an insurgent's bullet to his brain, but your son might as well have pulled the trigger.

Besides encouraging your son to have some honesty and courage and to finally do the right thing, don't you think you owe me and every other Gold Star parent an apology for that cruel and careless remark you made?

Your son's amazingly ignorant, arrogant, and reckless policies in Iraq are responsible for so much sorrow and trouble in this world.

Can you make him stop? Do it before more mothers' lives are needlessly and cruelly harmed. There have been too many worldwide already.

Sincerely,

Cindy Sheehan Mother of Casey Sheehan Founder and President of Gold Star Families for Peace Founder of Camp Casey Peace Foundation

From the text of Casey Sheehan's last letter home, delivered after his death.

"..The married soldiers had their families to see them off, and all I had was a call home the night before.
Mom cried her eyes out over the phone, not the first time it happened either."

"From the back dock we loaded onto a bus that took us to the iron horse gym, where we did some more waiting and the families had one more chance to say good bye."
"..I'm also glad I got to talk to Mom for a bit about a week ago.
She probably doesn't remember because I woke her up."

Cindy Sheehan couldn't be bothered to come and say good bye to her son.
Cindy Sheehan made Casey's deployment all about her.

cindy nutcase is a sick and sad woman..at first I had sympathy for her loss..as I still do..but now she is merely pimping her brave son's death for sadly needed attention..next she will probably run on to the field of the Super Bowl to garner more attention for herself....smiling most likely..

Geez...what a disgusting, obnoxious BITCH this moron is. May the good Lord gives her all that she deserves for her crassness.

This is addressed directly to Cindy Sheehan. Shame on you, Cindy, for your diatribe of rhetoric directed at the mother of a President with the courage to stand up to the Bullies of the world who would have gladly killed your son if he would have only been on the planes or in the buildings they initially targeted. Your son knew what the dangers of military service were when he joined, just as my son knows the dangers now. He will be deployed in August to Iraq and we will have "skin in the game". Does this allow me the "moral authority" to debunk your lies and insensitive comments about our President and his administration? Or are only those with your particular left bending view of the world permitted such moral authority? I am outraged that you think your comments will have some positive outcome for our soldiers in harms way, when the truth is that you are only providing aid and comfort to those who killed your son, and you are seriously injuring the morale of our soldiers who are willingly fighting to save your sorry butt.

Sincerely,

The proud father of an American Soldier

SoldierDad,

Most all of the USA shares your feelings - and love and daily pray for our troops!

God blesses and loves them all.

Glad you found FR, SoldierDad. We are with you and your son!

Talk private, if you want.
