Hadi Jawad is a cynical and cruel exploiter of a grieving woman's hysteria, IMHO. I hope that as she comes to terms with her son's death, she gets a grip on reality as well...

That was my son's unit. He was killed on that day 04/04/04. Here is a letter that I wrote to NightLine about the broadcast:

To Whom it May Concern:
Imagine my distress when I turned Night Line on last night and I was confronted with the gory details of my son's murder in Sadr City, Baghdad, Iraq on 04/04/04. Imagine, also, my sorrow and rage at the side of the story that you presented to the American public.
[SNIP]
I was on the Night Line Townhall Meeting in Washington, DC on 01/27/05. After I spoke (which I think was a fluke), Ted Koppel dismissed me as being "emotional." First of all, how can I approach this discussion without emotions, MY SON WAS KILLED, AND KILLED FOR LIES? Second of all, that show was not fair and balanced and I think the conclusion "Should we stay" was foregone.
The show last night was also not fair and balanced. To see all the wives being interviewed who had not lost their husbands and to hear what "hard work" it is to be left behind when their husbands are at war. How hard to you think it is to have a child killed in an illegal and immoral war? In this "wonderful" group of families left behind, we had exactly ONE of the wives call us..she is Diane Rose who was my son's Colonel, Frank Rose's wife. The last time we heard from Diane was in October and we feel we have been left behind by anyone connected to the 2-5 Cavalry. Is support only given if your loved one stays alive? One wife was quoted as saying that Sundays were the hardest for the families left behind. My son was killed on Palm Sunday last year..how does anybody think Sundays are for my family?
Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full-well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by a George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11. We were told that we were attacked on 9/11 because the terrorists hate our freedoms and democracy...not for the real reason, becuase the Arab-Muslims who attacked us hate our middle-eastern foreign policy. That hasn't changed since America invaded and occupied Iraq...in fact it has gotten worse.
It would be so amazing if your show would put me, or another parent who lost their child on who disagrees with the war and this administration: to have just an entire show..without presenting the false side of the debate. That would take a lot of courage and integrity. I hope your program will exhibit these qualities.
I also think that Mr. Koppel owes me an apology for the rude way I was treated on his show. After I expressed myself about the war being based on lies and that the troops should be brought home immediately because the war was based on lies, I was not thanked for my comments, or my son's sacrifice. He just said to keep the discussion away from emotions. Then, the wife of a soldier who was killed was allowed to speak and she praised the policies of this deplorable and despicable administration, and she was thanked and praised by the panel.
Isn't Sheenan getting close to the point where 'my heart goes out to her in her grief over the loss of her son in Iraq, BUT...' is starting to wear thin?
I felt that way at the beginning but her media hogging, duplicity, and unstable antics (cutting out of Tony Snow today, likely cancelling on O'R Factor tonight, etc) have made her into an annoyance.
Kinda like Mrs. Holloway-Twitty: a bad and sympathetic situation doesn't give a person any kind of legitimate, unlimited license to go around being a self absorbed pest.
Forgive my ignorance, but what does "PNAC" stand for?
That is a question that needs to be directed at the MSM
Hey MSM ... here's a question for ya ... Do they support her views?
Oh my goodness.
It comes with the Standard Moonbat Package.

It's the "evil" conspiracy that the leftists fear.
(In reality, it's just a think tank that advocates keeping the US as the sole superpower... go figure.)

How utterly condescending. My husband is not a "baby." He is a grown man who has voluntarily decided to serve his country, as was her son. She has just demeaned her son. Not surprising, though, since her behavior is a disgrace to him.
I agree completely. We have no idea what she's capable of, or if she could tie up the secret service with a distraction to open the president to attack.
She's really not a good element. This whole thing is going from annoyingly inconvenient to dangerous.
I truly pity Mrs. Sheehan. I really have nothing more to add then that : ((
August has 5 weeks now? [rolling eyes]
Yes. The Middle East policies. The way they want the policies to be: "Leave us alone, but keep that pocketbook open." I say we follow what the liberals say. Get out of EVERYONE'S business. But mostly TAKE OUR MONEY WITH US. Next time there's a disaster and they come to us with their hands out? "What? You don't want us involved, remember." But, I guess we did this before World War II and we saw how well that worked out.
Hadi Jawad is a cynical and cruel exploiter of a grieving woman's hysteria, IMHO. I hope that as she comes to terms with her son's death, she gets a grip on reality as well...
Tell your husband
thank you for his sacrifice and courage
God Bless you and your family!!!!
Sheehan has said that her son died for Israel, not for the US. The implication is that the US is a puppet of Israel, a nearly-universal canard of all modern anti-semites.
Kneejerkitis is a common problem, but not with this thread. Sheehan IS an unabashed jew-hater.
" And Wilson was actually an ambassador? What a dumbass."
The Ambassador to Gabagool also said this in the lecture:
" We need to remember in all of this that Iraq did not build weapons of mass destruction because the United States was an enemy -
Iraq built weapons of mass destruction
because it was surrounded by a nuclear armed Israel.. "
It's all Israel's fault. Interesting that Joe believed Iraq had WMD .
Well ... Well .. Well .. now we are seeing what Cindy's true agenda is
Actually it does this year.
