NEW YORK Sgt. Jason Dene, the nephew of actress and activist Mia Farrow, died in Iraq last week and his uncle blames George W. Bush for the loss.
, "To date all the family has heard from the Army is that Jason variously died 'in his sleep' ...' in other words, natural causes."
Whatever the cause, Patrick Farrow feels he knows what really killed his nephew: "Because of the arrogant, corrupt lies of George W. Bush and his neo-con handlers my nephew is dead, and I am mad as hell...Jason Dene was not killed by enemy fire nor friendly fire but by Bush's brutal and cynical stop-loss program."
"Because of Bush's abusive stop-loss policy, Jason had been sent into an unwanted third tour of duty. He was a father of three and could not afford to lose his pension. Some 'volunteer Army'.
"After his second tour Jason returned home with severe mental and physical issues. He was certainly in no condition to be pressed into a third tour. He wanted out of the army. But Jason was a victim of the liar's back-door draft...
"Because of George Bush, the arrogant, the corrupt, the liar, the war criminal, my nephew is dead and my sister and the rest of my family are devastated."
Mia Farrow had written: "I don't know what Jason died for....My sister is a nurse. For long years has lived in fear of the day when the two uniformed men came to her door to deliver the most terrible news a mother could hear. I hope I never see George W Bush. I could not shake his hand. He and his cabal have killed my beautiful nephew."

Jason Dene recalled: 'He was a warrior'
Terry Deane said his son, Jason Dene, would not have wanted to die in bed.
"He would have rather died, I'm sure, on top of his Humvee with his machine gun in his hand," Deane said Thursday.
The Department of Defense announced Wednesday that Dene, 37, a sergeant first class serving with the 3rd Infantry Division, died during the weekend following a "noncombat related incident."
"He volunteered for every war there was while he was in, whether it was Haiti, Serbia, Bosnia," Deane said. "He was a terrific father and a great son. He loved the Army. He was a warrior."
Dene was three weeks away from coming home, Deane said, and was to be transferred to Fort Irwin in California. He would have served 20 years in February.
"He says he was going to retire," Deane said. "I don't know that he would have if he found a base he liked."
"He's another casualty of war, regardless of whether he died in combat," Deane said. "He thought the war was just and right, but didn't think we were fighting it correctly. He thought we needed more help there."

Raging moonbat idiot. God Bless Sgt Dene, but his kin are lunatics.
I try to cut people a lot of slack in that situation. If I were in their shoes I would be completely unhinged.
????
May God bless all of the loved ones with comfort and peace.
Hmmmm, two totally different views; the father’s version sounds more likely, since he knew Sgt. Dane better than did the anti-war relatives. It’s sad but not surprising that the activists would use their own family in order to voice their disapproval.
In other words, this raving anti-Semite is blaming Jews.
"During his three 15-month tours in Iraq, exposure to roadside bombs and other job-related injuries caused Jason to be hospitalized several times for concussion and internal bleeding and other injuries. Recently, Jason's condition was such that the Department of Defense flew him from Iraq to Dover Air Force Base for surgery. He was released from the hospital into the loving arms of the government who sent him directly back into Iraq. He was put on active duty while he was still on a liquid diet, unable to eat solid food because of a throat hemorrhage due to a botched surgery at a military hospital.Moonbat rhetoric aside, these incidents happen far too often. Nation-building with insufficient troops is nasty business, and we have been doing it for a long time.
Compare the brainless ravings of the uncle with the way the father handles this loss.
" He was put on active duty while he was still on a liquid diet, unable to eat solid food because of a throat hemorrhage due to a botched surgery at a military hospital.
If true, this is very disturbing. Prayers for the family and friends who loved him. Thirty seven is hideously young.
STOP right there. Stop Loss has been around much, much longer than President Bush. Is there any chance at a that a reporter would mention this glaring error?
What the heck does an uncle know about the medical condition and mental status of a soldier whose father says the man was right where he wanted to be?
One of these two men is lying through his teeth.
You choose.
I refuse to accept the veracity of this version until I have both sides.
This is written by an antiwar liberal with an agenda. Could this have happened? Possibly, but I am not accepting the version of this person on its face.
Read what the father said. It is contrary to the uncle’s raving.
As if this is some kind of revelation coming from someone like Mia Farrow.
I did. That is why I made that statement. Those people are unhinged with BDS (Farrow and her ilk)
Believe the father. My son calls his dad every other day. His combat tours have made them so very close. My prayers are for the Deane family and for his children.
Now, that would unhinge me. Not an honorable death in the act of duty. Mia Farrow and family have a long history of being nuts.
We’re an active duty family as well. My thoughts, thanks and prayers are with you and your son.
