You may disagree with what she's done but she obviously cares about and loves her son. Anyone who thinks she took this trip for political reasons or any other reason is nuts.

Then you need to read her website.

"You may disagree with what she's done but she obviously cares about and loves her son. Anyone who thinks she took this trip for political reasons or any other reason is nuts."

Yeah, it's the same kind of love that you read about when a mother kills her children because she does want them to have to face the evils of the world.

As a mother of 2 soldiers I disagree. I love mine enough to the respect the choices they have made as adults in how to live their lives. If this mother raised her kids in her eyes see obviously did a poor job as 3 of her children bucked her teachings and joined the military. I have more respect for them than I do for her.

Galleymore said Thursday she went to Iraq not only to close the distance between her and Nick, but between her and Iraqi mothers. She's researching a book about war's effects on mothers and children; she's logging her effort at www.motherspeak.org "I really do feel if we're going to have a peaceful world, at some point we need to be able to talk to one another."

They're all pacifists and socialists, until they see a chance to earn some money and cloak it as an effort to raise social awareness. She's exploiting her son, plain and simple.

Anyone who thinks she took this trip for political reasons ...is nuts.

Same old sakic. Anyone who thinks she didn't embarrass her son and maybe jeopardize his military mission for selfish political purposes is nuts. The woman's an anti-American Marxist and her trip is right out of the Saul Alinsky Playbook. It's disgusting that anyone could approve of her hideous self-centered behavior. She's a Medea-mom who'd kill her own child to get back at her husband or a government she only pretends to believe in. It's all about her, remember?

True, I don't really doubt her motives, altho she obviously figured she'd make an effort to publicize the "other side" while she's at it. She has some redeeming qualities.

This was obviously done for political reasons. No mother in their right mind or not a left wing nutcase would think of pulling a stunt like this.
