George, your reckless and wanton foreign policies killed my son, Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan, in the illegal and unjust war on Iraq. Helping to bring about your political downfall will be the most noble accomplishment of my life, and it will bring justice for my son and the hundreds of other brave Americans and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis your lies have killed.
I'll be a grieving mom until I die because of the lies that took my son, ... I plan on keeping this up until the troops are brought home.
We mean business, George Bush, ... and we're going to go to Congress and we're going to ask them, 'How many more of other people's children are you willing to sacrifice for the lies' And we're going to say, Shame on you. Shame on you for giving him the authority to invade Iraq.
We need a people's movement to end this war, ... We're going to ask them How many more of other people's children are you willing to sacrifice for the lies
This was a war that was based on lies. It was wrong for us to invade Iraq. It's wrong for us to occupy Iraq and we need to bring our troops home.
You tell me the truth. You tell me that my son died for oil. You tell me that my son died to make your friends rich. You tell me my son died to spread the cancer of Pax Americana, imperialism in the Middle East.
Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC [Project for the New American Century] Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by George [W.] Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11.
I've always admired President Chavez for standing up to imperialism and the meddling of the American government in South America.
And if you think I won't say bulls**t to the President, I say move on, cause I'll say what's on my mind.
There has always been excuses for wars, but NONE of them have been good or valid.
America has been killing people on this continent since it was started. This country is not worth dying for...
You get America out of Iraq, you get Israel out of Palestine.
My children were the center of my life.
It's up to us, the people, to break immoral laws, and resist.
