The sentiments are not totally off course. The expression is plain moronic, though. Bush heads an administration that has thrown many young Americans into combat for dubious reasons, but claiming Bush "killed my son" is overly simplistic, not to mention dramatic to the hilt and ultimately fruitless.
She should throw her boundless energies into real protest if she feels so strongly, as opposed to acting purely out of grief.
her 'sentiments' are as moronic as she is.
yes... grieve for the loss of your child, but dont do it for the cameras.
her son joined the service of his own free will. we dont have a draft in this country anymore.
he re-enlisted of his own free will.
he knew the score. he knew what could happen, and as it would seem, in spite of having that lunatic for a mother, he developed into a noble, upstanding young man [must have got it from his father].
had she not already met with the president once and come away saying what a good man he was, maybe she wouldnt seem like such a limelight-hungry harpie, right now.
as it is, her little crusade to be famous has turned her remaining child against her and her husband has filed for divorce.
everything she's doing she's doing because she likes having her name known and her ugly mug on TV. she forgot about her son a long time ago and there are far too many on the left with a political agenda willing to use her insanity against her. they dont care anymore about the memory of her son than she does.
if she really cared about her son, she'd just go away and honor his decisions and his memory.
this was a young man who re-enlisted because he believed in what they were doing over there and who wasnt in a combat position, but sacrificed himself in an attempt to save his friends, who'd come under attack.
she should be so immensely proud and respectful. instead, she's using him as a publicity tool... something, were he alive, i'm sure he wouldnt have wanted.
