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.

just using my initial skeptical eye on this one...hopefully it does ring true.

post #19 & #94...ha ha

My heart goes out for these two women that lost their sons BUT their sons enlisted, they were not drafted. My son-n-law is in the Navy. He knows damn well the consequences of enlisting and has still re-enlisted. These Mothers need to stop making a mockery of their sons sacrifice. All the protesting in the world will not bring their sons back.

She does not have credibility speaking especially with Michael Moore in the background.

"I had my reservations"

Please check with the NCAA to see if it's okay to use that term in a public-pre-season-forum. :)

Excellent post!

Clinton was a disgrace in Somalia.

after the incident, he got on TV to supposedly tell the American public "what we were doing there" He avoided it 100% and gave some shpiel about fighting poverty etc... His speech was on a PBS special about Somalia.

Somalia was the #1 factor that emblazoned bin-laden. he was next door in the Sudan at the time keeping his eyes on the cookie jar. This was only 2 years after the infidels were on Saudi soil.

I vaguely remember a briefing one night by my squad-leader saying that "the sammy's were getting outside assistance from people in Sudan" I may be a little off--but I definitely remember being told about non-somali's helping out the somali's against the American's.

This Cindy broad is a joke and the public knows it. The left is really getting desperate. It's great!

[BitDrifter]

Smooches has more credibility than Cindy.

They should be parked right along side her at the Crawford Ranch
disputing every vile thing that comes out of her mouth.

[deputac]

Thanks for the information advance_copy. It's interesting that she states her husband left because he did not believe in her activities, but believes in all the same anti-war propoganda that she does.

It would be interesting to hear his take on it. But, I'm sure the MSM is not pursuing him as hard knowing that it may ruin their beautiful run with Cindy should he shed some light on different facts.

[popdonnelly]

This disgusting man should not be using people's grief to further his own agenda.

[airborne]

also reported on Rush.

I'm guessing between Rush and Drudge, it's been confirmed on the source.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Does Cindy have a husband? Where is her son's dad?

Methinks he's caught between that proverbial rock and hard place....he disagrees with her, but unsure how to do so in public.

Just MHO.

Interestingly, this line appears in an AP story:

"Dozens of people have joined her and others have sent flowers and food. One activist called her the Rosa Parks of the anti-war movement."


The canonization begins.


(I'm reminded of the Seinfeld episode: "Jerry you're like the Rosa Parks of comedians.")

....I hope she likes her new friends...

Her "new" friends will drop her like a used Trojan if she dare revert to her original story about the GWB meeting.
