Cindy Sheehan's letter to Barbara Bush

[ewagner]

this is brutal folks...

brutally honest.

http://www.buzzflash.com/contributors/05/11/con05437.html

On August 3rd, 2005, your son said that he killed my son and the other brave and honorable Americans for a "noble cause." Well, Barbara, mother to mother, that angered me. I don't consider invading and occupying another country that was proven not to be a threat to the USA is a noble cause. I don't think invading a country, killing its innocent citizens, and ruining the infrastructure to make your family and your family-friendly war profiteers rich is a noble cause.

So I went down to Crawford in August to ask your son what noble cause did he kill my son for. He wouldn't speak with me. I think that showed incredibly bad manners. Do you think a president, even if it is your son, should be so inaccessible to his employers? Especially one of his bosses whose life George has devastated so completely?

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" (Good Morning America, March 18, 2003)

Now I have something to tell you, Barbara. I didn't want to hear about deaths or body bags either. On April 04, 2004, three Army officers came to my house to tell me that Casey was killed in Iraq. I fell on the floor screaming and begging the cruel Angel of Death to take me, too. But the Angel of Death that took my son is your son.

1. Wonder what Evil Quaker Oats Man will say when she reads that....

Holy cow...she can write one helluva letter...

[goclark]

10. She will never read it, it would mess with her beautiful mind

But millions of other people around the world will read it.

It should be on MSM for every Mother to read and to weep for our country and our brave soldiers.

Cindy is a true hero!

[Botany]

2. But what about her beautiful mind?

The one she did not want to clutter?

[ewagner]

4. Cindy referred to that....

[lonestarnot]

32. That piece of rich fat crap will never read it.

[tavalon]

44. That's okay

Once again, Cindy is talking to the American public, not to Barbara Bush nor even her evil and yet worthless son.

[Chicago Democrat]

3. Barbara Bush = She Devil

protecting her Satanic alcoholic fetal alcohol syndrome son George!



FU BAR!

[FreedomAngel82]

35. So true

If you haven't you should read in Al Franken's "Liars" book his meeting of Barbara. Truly evil.

[Hoosier]

36. DITTO!

OH, and Bar, get your ass back on the boat crossing the Delaware...

[Oceansaway]

5. Touche !!

[babylonsister]

6. Nominated for Cindy's honesty and tenaciousness! nt

[rateyes]

7. I hope Babs read every word.

Sometimes the truth sucks, but it still needs to be said, and heard.

[LSparkle]

8. Bless you, Cindy! Once again, she speaks for us all

and of course, FuBarbara won't DEIGN to respond....

[Solly Mack]

9. Go Cindy Sheehan!

Great letter!

[Cha]

11. Wow! I wonder if

babs' ugly eyes will ever see that eloquently written letter?

[progressoid]

28. Sadly, I doubt it.

Her "people" will make sure she never sees it.

[laylah]

12. Good on her! I

have sent this far and wide. I have doubts, though, if the "beautiful mind" bitch from Hell even cares.

13. Go Cindy !!!!!!!!

"But the Angel of Death that took my son is your son."

As the mother of an adult son myself, I can tell you that THAT LINE would hit me real hard ...

... but, of course, I do not think under-privileged people who lost everything in a hurricane are better off. And I didn't give birth to the Demon Seed, either.

[Mr_Spock]

14. That's a thing of beauty. Right on point. Thanks Cindy

for telling it like it is.

Dubya, we hired you to run this country and we can fire you. Don't you forget it.

[NV Whino]

15. Actually, mine are "labeled" correctly, but

"We" didn't hire him. But sure as hell can fire him.

[corbett]

16. Nominated 'Cause Cindy Is Mother Of The Year!

[MuseRider]

17. She said it all

and she said it very well. Brutal letter, I can't even begin to imagine her pain.

[Catherine Vincent]

18. Oh my.

Cindy should definitely get bodyguards now. Babs don't play.

[Bluebear]

19. WATCH OUT she's gonna BLOW! >>>>>>>>>>

[Just Me]

23. "We" do not approve of you damaging our "beautiful minds"!!!!

GO!!! AWAY!!!

"We" MUST take some more tranquilizers and anti-depressants.

The woman is such damaged goods,...a soul in pregatory. A weak, weak, human being.

I actually pity her.

Cindy has more strength in spirit and human character than that poor woman could ever, ever have.

[dennisnyc]

25. more of that Babs quote: from the Village Voice:

"Why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it's gonna happen?... Or, I mean, it's, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

GMA 3.18.03

Two things strike me:
1) she doesn't care what day "It's gonna happen" AS IF we couldn't or (wouldn't ?) be prepared? hhhuuuh???

2) "it's not relevant" NOT RELEVANT? She is the mother of Satan!

Or, what i really mean is she obviously has no family there in Iraq or Afganistan!!!!

[Hoosier]

37. Babs bore a Demon seed

The best of her oldest dried on the sheets.

[WinkyDink]

20. Incredibly powerful

Awesome in its righteousness.

[SharonRB]

21. Barbara probably thinks that now that Cindy's famous,

things are working out very well for her.

NOT!

[Just Me]

22. The Bushies are heartless, selfish and deaf. Barbara won't even read,...

,..the letter. THEY DON'T CARE!!!!

WE DO!!!

WE DO!!!

[AndyTiedye]

24. It is Worse Than That. They Thrive on the Suffering of Others

[Just Me]

31. Oh, hell,....they EXPLOIT others' suffering!!!!

One step beyond "thriving", in a way,...I guess. :cry: I can NOT understand such human predators,...try as I may,...I just don't get their perception. Frankly, I don't think I EVER want to "get" into their sick box.

[rosesaylavee]

26. Beautiful, sad letter but Babs won't read it or even have

it read to her. She lives in another world where suffering is "non-existent" and can be ignored very easily. Marie Antoinette would be so proud of her little Babs!

[sepia_steel]

27. WOW

She's got a gift, that Cindy. GREAT letter.

[understandinglife]

29. Amazing. Thank you Cindy Sheehan, once again.

Peace.

[SpiralHawk]

30. Strong stuff

Cindy pulls no punches.

You go Grrrrl !

[checks-n-balances]

33. Cindy Sheehan is so fearless!

And BBusn & son(s) are clueless about how heartless they are (sorry that sounds so corny, but could there be a bigger contrast between these two mothers?)...

BBush is not only arrogant but she's fearful underneath. She really was afraid of all those poor people moving into Houston from New Orleans!

[FreedomAngel82]

34. This line was the best

and so true. But the Angel of Death that took my son is your son.

[ClayZ]

38. .

:cry:

[David Zephyr]

39. Wow! Powerful stuff.

Thanks for posting Cindy's letter.

[sonias]

40. The only problem is that Babs doesn't have a heart

Her offspring prove that, they don't have any either. If life was fair Cindy Sheehan would still have her son Casey and it would have been Babs who lost one of hers to war.

I love Cindy as a Mom. She shows her love for her children and all the world's children, by speaking out against war every day.

Love to Cindy, and her family.
:hug:

41. Like Barbara Bush Gives A Damn!

Highly respect, and commend Cindy Sheehan.

Sadly, the Bush's have no decency, nor heart. They're only self-conscionable - that's how they live with their smug, un compassionate selves.

FReepers: They don't care about you're sons & daughters, either.

[Warren Stupidity]

42. Saint Cindy of the Ditch!

You speak for me. You started the ball rolling. You are the voice of the mothers of all the dead from this horrible war. We will win this struggle and we will win in large part because of your courage spirit and determination.

[OhioChick]

43. Cindy did a damn good job on this letter........

Simply put, but speaks volumes. Good for her.

[ailsagirl]

46. The horrible thing about Cindy

is that her son is dead. This is more then a political position, it is based on a truth too terrible to consider.

Yet everyday more mothers and fathers and siblings and spouses and children and friends learn that someone they love is dead because of this war.

If you live in Iraq the loved one doesn't have to be one who is there fighting. They can be eating or walking and then they are dead because of this war.

It is true people die in many sad ways. Usually when someone is killed by violence that is not self defense, there is a murder charge.

But bush claims these people die in a noble cause. If I had someone killed for financial gain, would that be noble?

I love Cindy but I wish I didn't know anything about her. If Casey wanted to join the military, bless him. We need a prepared military. I wish he had served in a time of peace and now was home, moving on with his life. Maybe Cindy would be learning to knit booties for an expected grandchild. From what we know of Casey his children would be a blessing in the world.

I am sorry Cindy is known to us all. I am sorry. I admire her for unfurling from the ball of pain and using the energy in such a wonderful way. But I wish she didn't have any cause to, that none of us did.

Her cause is what turns out to be the noble cause to give meaning to his death.

47. She's my hero!!
