‘Supporting the troops’ – Sheehan style

Posted by: ST on December 9, 2005 at 9:01 am

Mother Sheehan has gone international, and no doubt has made the rabid anti-war contigent very happy with her version of supporting the troops in Britain:

“This is the 21st century – killing is barbaric,” she says on a taxi ride from Heathrow into central London, having just flown in from New York. “I don’t buy into the fact that George Bush and Tony Blair can’t be called terrorists because they are elected officials. This occupation of Iraq is killing innocent people by the thousand.”

She also doesn’t put the blame for her son’s death on the terrorists who killed him:

“I don’t blame the people who killed Casey but the people who brought us into this, who lied and deceived the world,” she says. “But the anti-war movement is growing at all levels. Congress is starting to talk about bringing the troops home and you never saw any of that before.”

Wonderful, eh?

      But for the Grace of God I’m not a Gold Star Mom … but I am a 3 Blue Star Mom (which means I have 3 kiddos in uniform … one by birth and two by marriage, sons-in-law). What’s mama-sheehan is doing is tarnishing her very own son’s memory. She’s using her son’s death as a platform for her own agenda, an agenda her son didn’t support. She should be ashamed of herself. It’s no wonder to me at all why her husband divorced her. Maybe she’ll like England better and stay there!

      The really odd thing is that while it might be true that 1000s are dying, we know for a fact that 100,000s did die under Hussein. I see everyday how much the Iraqis appreciate what we did for them. – Lorica

      Too bad people can’t come back from the dead. It would be devastating to the left to see Casey Sheehan setting his mother straight, if not disowning her for her selfish actions.

      This woman has a pathological need to put the responsibilty on anyone but who truly shoulders it. I’m sure she’d be straddling a cannon for a photo op if she could only find one. Any sympathy I’ve had for her situation has long since burned away, and I am starting to honetly wonder about her mental faculties.
