Why would I want one more mother -- either Iraqi or American -- to go through what I'm going through? I don't want him to justify my son's honorable sacrifice to continue his murderous killing policies,
I want Bush to stop using my son's sacrifice to justify the killing.
Nobody knew what was going to happen, and we made up Camp Casey as we went along, and it grew and grew and grew, ... But we're here to say that the killing has to stop, that we're not going to justify any more killing on our losses. And we're not going away.
I don't want him to justify my son's honorable sacrifice to continue his murderous killing policies, ... Late Edition.
I don't want George W. Bush to utilize my son's sacrifice to justify the killing,
We're going to get the troops back, and we're going to get George Bush impeached this year.
We're going to do what we do all the time: gather together in peace. We're going to call for George Bush and the neo-cons not to invade Iran. That would be a mistake even worse than Iraq. Our children are sitting ducks in the Middle East; the people of Iran and Iraq would be sitting ducks. And I'm not even sure that this invasion won't lead to World War III. So it's something that we have to stop before it starts.
We are here ... to show our government, to show our media, to show America that we mean business, and we're not going home until every last one of our troops is home.
We're here to say that the killing has to stop and we're not going away. We want people to be held accountable and just because someone's president of the United States, it doesn't guarantee them immunity from accountability.
We're here to energize most of the people in America who are with us.
Our country does not really know what war is about.
President Bush says we're safer fighting them there than over here. Why are we safer because 120,000 civilians are dead? What makes their babies less precious than ours?
I was told my son was killed in the war on terror. He was killed by George Bush's war of terror on the world.
I think our senator needs to be held accountable for her support of George Bush and his war policies.
