FAMILY OF FALLEN SOLDIER PLEADS: PLEASE STOP, CINDY! Thu Aug 11 2005 12:56:21 ET

The family of American soldier Casey Sheehan, who was killed in Iraq on April 4, 2004, has broken its silence and spoken out against his mother Cindy Sheehan's anti-war vigil against George Bush held outside the president's Crawford, Texas ranch.

The following email was received by the DRUDGE REPORT from Casey's aunt and godmother:

Our family has been so distressed by the recent activities of Cindy we are breaking our silence and we have collectively written a statement for release. Feel free to distribute it as you wish. Thanks Ð Cherie

In response to questions regarding the Cindy Sheehan/Crawford Texas issue: Sheehan Family Statement:

The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect.

Sincerely,

Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.

"She'll probably be on Oprah this fall season."

But first, Oprah will have to do a show on how she was not allowed into Hermes 15 minutes after closing time.

Thats a great idea, and would probably take Cindy down a notch. Though she'd still be a media darling.

Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.

And second cousin, first removed, and "aunt bedwina", the black lady who works at the butcher shop, and Smooches, the cute little black labrador who lives next door....

Sorry folks, this is not a big deal. If/when his FATHER comes out and says this, then it is a big deal.

Darn it, I forgot about that one. I think you're right. She's probably been working on that show for a while now.

Anybody have the biographical information about Cindy's immediate family? I thought it odd that her husband and other kid(s) were not there in Texas.

I read an interview by her and she says she has lost her family AND all her friends over this.

Yet she hasn't considered that all those folks might be right. She has cracked, and I feel sorry for her.

The other outraged mom on O'R Factor last night insisted she considers herself a 'Family of One.' I never heard Cindy use it.

Wouldn't it be great if President Bush actually met with THESE folks--Casey's actual, sane family, right in front of the TV cameras? Hope Rove's working on that as we speak.

That's not a very good idea - it gives Cindy much more credibility than she deserves.

(truthfully, the administration has been a little behind the ball when explaining why/what/how we are doing there)

It's like that old joke where, after President Bush walks on water to rescue a drowning person, the headlines about the incident read: "Bush Can't Swim!"!!

There isn't a thing President Bush (or anyone else in his Administration) could do here that wouldn't be twisted to be used against them. President Bush has personally met with this woman already ~ this crap in Crawford now is all about generating negative publicity toward him.

I'd like to see President Bush (and his entire administration) stay above this staged fiasco!

This dirty wench is using money from her son's life insurance policy to finance her self centered protest.It's a shame that Casey's mother would sink into the gutter and use his own money to soil his memory.She is nothing but a selfish and self serving slob.

What are your feelings about what happened in Somalia?

Didn't Clinton bail out shortly after the blackhawk was shot down? And isn't there some speculation that Clinton's weak-kneed response emboldened Osama to plan and carry out 9-11?
