For education and discussion only. Not for commercial use. Casey Sheehan was a re-enlistee with the Army's 1st Cavalry. He knew he was going to fight. He understood that. He embraced it. He fought like a soldier. And like a soldier he died, killed in April of 2004, in Sadr City, Iraq. Casey's mom, Cindy, doesn't quite get it. She is a mother who has lost her son to a war. Convinced she knows more about the costs of war than other parents who've suffered similar loss, she has parked herself outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. Full of judgment and hate, calling him "selected," not elected, blaming him personally for the death of her son, this clueless woman is going to sit there until the President comes out. She's going to set him straight. Cindy Sheehan is another bereaved parent that the anti-Iraq War movement has run its game on. Manipulating her in her sadness and anger, they've created a self-righteous ignoramus. Casey Sheehan was cut down by foreign insurgents, the same Saudi-Iranian-Syrian animals that carved up Nick Berg. But to Cindy, the man who killed her son is George Bush. Cindy believes Bush lied about our reasons for going to war and thus led her son to his death through outright deceit. The "Bush Lied" theory has been debated and discredited but Anti-War Mom hasn't noticed. Cindy Sheehan isn't outside the Bush ranch as a truth-seeker. She's there for her public-relations potency. "I want people to know the real costs of war," she says. A mother grieving her loss. The inhumanity of war. Oh, the wickedness of it all. It's the anti-Iraq War Propaganda Machine working the sewer again. The philosophy of the September 10th movement can be boiled down to this: "If we hadn't started anything....... then nothing would have started." Like a parent encouraging a child to avoid bullies by walking 2 blocks out of the way, the September 10th movement believes that avoidance and non-engagement would have been the way to avert 9/11, the Gulf War, Beirut...maybe even World War Two. Since that didn't happen, the anti-Iraq war Poseurs set out to revise history so they can shore up politically. "Clinton had nothing to do with any of this. It was all Bush and he (just to add a touch of true malevolence) LIED!!" No proof is offered of course. Proof means truth. And the truth is this war was unavoidable, brought on by an historic clash of culture and ideal, powered by the American people themselves, rising to meet the future, pissing off the rag heads. Anti-War Mom raised her children in the American culture of struggle, progress, success and failure. Like many, she refused to take ownership of her government, preferring the platitude of loving her country. No people own their government more than the American people. And no other people in the world more strenuously disassociate from it when the going gets tough. And the going is always the toughest when times are good and war arrives. For Cindy Sheehan and millions of other moms the inconvenience of this could not be overstated. While she was busy chasing the good life, made possible by the millions of backstairs deals cut globally everyday through American corporations and politicians (not to mention enforced by an international security apparatus) her good life was coming up against other considerations authored in the caves of Pakistan. At first, since it was a question of country, not government, Anti-War Mom supported the war although her loyalty to one and not the other began to impede her ability to understand things clearly. When news arrived of her sons death, her tenuous line to reality snapped. Not only was she not at all responsible for her government, she didn't much like the country either, lecturing her fellow citizens on the costs of war, arrogant in the depths of her ignorance about the prices others have paid. Anti-War Mom might be powerful had she any ideas of her own. But since she is a mouth-piece for the September 10th movement her guns are empty. The Anti-War movement in America continues to lack anything approaching ideas or answers. But it does encourage Anti-War Mom to live in the past. It's where her son lives, they tell her. So she joins the other wayfarers in the desert, nomads whose camels follow the camel ahead, all going in a circle.

I haven't seen any proof of this. I mean real proof as opposed to RNC/Freeper "Clarke Lied" style of proof, e.g., "Clarke is such a liar that we don't have to present any evidence that Clarke is a liar and anyone who doesn't buy the propaganda is a commie." I just thought it was something that the Newsmax/Limbaugh goobers were instructed to just accept as a matter of faith. Do you have a link from something other than the RNC spin machine that shows Bush didn't lie? Let's start with the trailers of mass distruction that Bush spoke about while in Poland in 2003. Bush told us without qualificaiton that the WMD had been found and that these trailers were it. As you know, the trailers were later shown to be hydrogen making stations manufactured in the UK. Have these trailers now morphed back into WMD? Rumsfeld told us that he knew where the WMD was. Was it there?
On the contrary, the Downing Street Memo proved the theory about as well as any historical fact about an internal mental state can be proved.
Do you have a link or is this simply more over the top propaganda? How do you know that it was foreign insurgents. The reports I've seen out of Iraq indicate that most of the insurgents are Iraqi. Rumbsfeld even confirmend this. So how do you know that the particular insurgent that shot Sheehan's son was a foreign insurgent? Answer - you don't. But you need this silly sort of dishonest propaganda to support your arguments. They fail without the spin. This by itself should tell you something.
Yes, but the Downing Street memo doesn't exist in Willie's reality. If you raise the issue to him he'll either stick his fingers in his ears and scream "la, la, la can't hear you" or claim that the Downing Street memo is so discredited that he need not show evidence that it is discredited and anyone who fails to buy into his bullshit hates America.
My understanding is that Casey Sheehan was killed by members of Sadr's militia, right after Bremer had made that fool move of shutting down Sadr's newspaper. I know Casey Sheehan was killed in Sadr City (not a place where the foreign militants -- as opposed to Shiite militants -- tend to operate.)
This is the sort of dishonest, hate drive propaganda that is destroying the country. True, it delays the day when you will have to admit to your wife that Rumsfeld was wrong about the sweets and flowers and that Jeneanne Garafalo was correct, but in the process of saving your silly ego you are damaging the country. It appears that your concern and respect for this country is so low that you simply don't give a damn. Your ego comes first and fuck America. Great attitude you have here.
But it's very important to Willie and the bots to believe that it was foreign insurgents. Else they will be forced to admit that there are a great many Iraqis who are upset with Bush for destroying their nation, killing their people and stealing their natural resources. If they admit this obvious fact, they will have a hard time keeping keeping up the Limbaugh fiction that most of the Iraqis are tickled pink to have foreign invaders killing them by the tens of thousands.
Guess he doesn't like her, eh. Perhaps a short vacation in Baghdad would be good for Phil. The cow is a noble animal; it's ignorance must be judged against the writer's. The cow wins.
I had to stop right there. Phil, you blind nitwit. Do you get paid to write this drivel?
