'You lied, they died,' US parents tell Bush

[kskiska]

The father of a soldier killed in Iraq accused President George Bush yesterday of being responsible for his son's death.

Fernando Suarez, whose 20-year-old son, Jesus, was one of the first fatalities, said: "My son died because Bush lied."

Mr Suarez, from Escondido, California, speaking at a press conference to publicise tomorrow's anti-war demonstrations in eight US cities, said that about 1,300 parents of troops stationed in Iraq were involved in a movement against the oc cupation. "It is time for these troops to come home," said Mr Suarez. "Neither my wife nor my family want more children to die in this illegal war. We are no less patriotic for wanting peace. Bush wants $87bn <£52m> for this war, but what does he give us for our schools?" he asked.

In another sign of the growing protest movement, the father of two soldiers serving in Iraq used a full page advertisement in yesterday's New York Times to demand the sacking of the US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld.
The ad accused President Bush and his administration of misleading the public about weapons of mass destruction.

1. Yes ..I've seen Senor Suarez on C-span and heard his very emotional

statement regarding his son who was killed in Iraq! And his son's mother was there, too, crying her heart out! Very Sad!

The website the Military Families have is http://www.mfso.org

2. I hope more families of the dead and wounded will speak out

their voices have been largely absent, bless their hearts.

3. I think it'll be the military families and the servicemen themselves

who will eventually cause *'s downfall and the end of this entire venture.

8. That's still my favorite bumper sticker, bpilgrim.

It really rubs the salt into the wounds of the Clinton haters

5. And all these years they said the Jews killed Jesus.

If this doesn't generate some flames, I'll be amazed. Just THINK about
it, okay?

Jesus died for your sins!

7. The Bushies are responsible for these deaths/casualties/ for our boys and

many innocent civies.

The overthrow of Saddam was a smokecreen only now being realized by America. The real deal was two fold, oil and Bushies Boys at Haliburton.

Someday the whole truth will emerge. Bush will fall and the Mega rich Pubs will retreat to their plush extreme homes to sip their wine. Bush is being used and he don't know it.

The Idiot Jerk who still don't get it. What a movie it will make.

9. On my way home from work (that makes me a minority)!!

I heard on the radio a commedian that had gone over to the ME for a USO show. She said that she was there for two weeks and it felt like an eternity. Now I must tell you that my car raido is not the greatest, it only has one working speaker and the channel changer knob is broke. This was on the Bob and Tom show today. She went on to say that the place was a living hell. She then said to a notional audience " we need to be patriots, put up the flags and bring the troops home" I loved how she said patriots. People are speaking out and it is a good thing.

10. As Kucinich says...

bring our troops home.

11. A friend of mine is in

Europe and met a soldier on crutches today. Depending on
how/if his leg heals, he may be going back there.

I asked her if she knew if his rehab time counted as part
of the year-long deployment. She did not know.

He told her that it is an indescribable hellhole; little
kids are shooting at them and setting off bombs and then
running away.

Food is lousy and water is limited.
