  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:
  Love
 

  Cindy Sheehan
 

  March 15, 2005
 

  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.

I find it odd that the liberals are turning their hate on Israel and yet the biggest supporter of the scumbuckets at ACLU are radical liberal Jews.

Not Jewish, Israeli. I know a LOT of Jews who don't like Israel's policies.

Me too, but nice try .... that's not how it works.

When was the last time you saw the smear words Israaaaelis or Ziiiionists here?

She has admitted thAt her Husband left her because he does not agree with her on this subject. She also said that her daughter is drinking heavily and her younger son wants to follow in Casey's footsteps. We also head from a neighbor on a call-in show that she was a manipulative and control freak and Casey joined the military to get away from her. Can you imagine what this woman has left? she is a grieving, guilty feeling, very pathetic person that is trying to assuage her guilt by Flitting from one liberal reporter to another blaming everyone but the terrorists for her son's death. She is in such a great need for Psychological counseling, I feel so sorry for her,and I will not demean her Wonderful Son's memory. He would not want to see his Mom in this sorry state. God bless you Casey and I hope your Family is blessed also, you mom really needs prayer now.

She has a whole lot of different beefs, doesn't she???? Yeah.

Unlike you she seems to be able to hold more than one thought in her mind at the same time.

With every drop drop drop that comes to light about Cindy Shesnutty, looks like she and her handlers are having to shut out the MSM -- and thus her 15 minutes are about over -- if she's a last-second no-show on O'Really, the other nets will cut her off and pull their stringers from Crawford.

Bye bye, boo-bird. Don't let the MSM door hit you in the ass on the way out of town.

Okay...so not conservatives...

that makes more sense. However, many "liberal" American Jews, are very conservative and "hawkish" when it comes to Israel...go figure that one.

American Jews who are conservatives that don't like Israel's policies? Really? Which policies are those?

If my observations are correct, people who oppose Israel's "policies" seem to oppose ALL of Israel's policies, including jaywalking and littering fines.

I'm reminded of the 1955 movie starring Glenn Ford, "Trial".

Ford plays a lawyer who is chosen by some friends to defend a young Mexican of the charges of rape and murder of a white girl in a southwestern town full of bigots. At first, Ford thinks everything is cut and dry. But he eventually learns the truth: his friends that convinced him to take the case are out right Commies who are using the case as an organizing tool, and when it appears that Ford might actually get the boy off, the Commies convince the boy's mother that his execution will do more good as a blow against America than his acquittal, and she proceeds to toss Ford from the case.

I won't say that Cindy Sheehan needed much persuasion to do her current act of exploitation of her son's death. She obviously had this Commie Swill in her for some time. Someone above her has simply decided that now is the time to turn her lose...

Dems continue to implode. Now they have a spokesman that alienates Jewish vote. That is after they lost the Catholic vote.

"Why is this woman getting airtime?"

Because the MSM realizes even they can't keep the Plame-Wilson fiction alive any longer. Consequently, the DUmmies have scared up another dead nag to beat. I consider it a sign of their complete exasperation over the fact Dubya is clean as a hound's tooth and they can't lay a paw on him. This anti-Semitic neo-Nazi Sheehan will soon become the left's next big PR problem.

The press says Cindy is 48 years old. That would make her 2 years younger than I, and we were a little young to have been in the thick of the "peace movement" of the late '60s (not having even graduated highschool until the early '70s). She seems to be trying to live out what she missed. Very sad that her son's heroic death in the most honorable service to our country pushed her over the edge. All we can do is pray she realizes what she's done.

Like a lot of those idiots, she is endangering our Troops even more as a propagandist, giving support to the enemy, energizing them to launch more attacks against our Troops

Do you make this crap up or do you get emails from from some doofus in the White House basement?

Cindy Sheehan: "My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel."

Interesting point,


I would like to hear the arguments supporting both....
