The right wing doesn’t give a damn about “saving the situation” because in their view, there’s no situation to be saved. They view this concerned mother as a left-wing kook who will eventually go away if they ignore her.

Thanks for posting all this info, Heidi, even though some in your “fan club” don’t seem to appreciate it. )

[I'm going out of town next week, but let's get together for coffee again soon. I'll show you my new Tarot deck!]

Response: I fear that you are correct – still, there are effects from the situation and they are launching some spin countermeasures, so they must take it seriously at some level. “Fan club”? Hee hee. Looking forward to coffee – enjoy your travels meanwhile.

Um….

He already DID talk to her.

almost 2 years ago?

Yeah, some time ago. This is a public issue now – and maybe this time he won’t call her “mom.” There has been a lot more information since then that suggests the reasons for this war and these sacrifices were not presented in an honorable way to the people of this country. It’s gone beyond being about one mother’s loss. Cindy stands in for a lot of people now.

he says we need more troops. why does’nt he send his daughters and show that he really backs the war and believes our men and women are expendable in the name of oil. maybe the girls will find the wmd’s and save an oilwell or two.

Actually, it was last year. June.

And it doesn’t matter. He DID meet with her, just as he met with hundreds of others.

It’s a public issue ONLY because she sold out to the activist left. It’s a public issue ONLY because she figured out she could cash in her son’s death for 15-minutes of fame and future book/movie deals.

What new information are you referring to? The fact that the government was already on the trail of four of the 19 9/11 hijackers a year prior but was unable to persue it because of roadblocks set up by the Clinton administration?

Back then they were still cla

Back then they were still claiming that Hussein had WMDs and a connection to Al Qaeda buth causes since dropped.

If my son had died because of the first two reasons I would be plenty sad. But to find out that those were lies in order for Cheney and his PNAC crowd to go into Iraq and seize the oilfields I would be plenty angry.

America has been taken hostage by criminals. Cindy’s is just one voice trying to take it back.

She is not the only one. Be on the look out for further evidence of this administration’s criminal activities. They have much blood on their hands.

if she had anything more to say to him, she should have done it then. its not like speaking to just anyone. this man has a country to run, and protect for idiots like her to be themselves freely. i wish she would stop using her son’s coffin as a soapbox. she is a disgrace/

Funny
Submitted by Heidi N on Mon, 2005-08-15 15:24.
I’m giggling. She’s using her son – that’s really funny. George won’t even say what the real “noble cause” is for which these soldiers die – he uses and disregards them – they are just cattle. But a mother who loses her son wants an explanation of what he died for, and she’s the one using him?

By the way – to the other nasty posters here – what she is doing and all of what is posted on the board here is what we are protecting. Remember? This is America. This is freedom of expression. This is one way in which we all still have a voice, however small. What puts our soldiers in danger and in harm’s way isn’t disagreement among ourselves, but the wholesale reoganization of what America is all about. George’s policies have put us into more danger, not less. Research it yourself.

Response: My blog, my take on it, my judgment, my view of the truth. The greatest threat to the US is liberals? It seems you need to do a little reading, listening and travelling.
