Video: Mother of fallen soldier asks questions of President Bush

John Byrne



The above ad, paid for by Gold Star Families for Peace, will air on Crawford cable channels near Bush's ranch. The total ad buy is currently $15,000. The group plans to air the ad throughout August and wherever Bush visits during his vacation.

Sheehan's son, Casey, was an Army mechanic who was killed just five days after arriving in Iraq.

"He was only 24 and he died in his best friend’s arms," Sheehan says in the ad, directed at President Bush. "Casey was so good and so honest why can’t you be honest with us?"

"You were wrong about the weapons of mass destruction-you were wrong about the link between Iraq and Al Queda—you lied to us and because of your lies my son died," she ads.

1. I see all these posts about Cindy
And all I can do is cry for her. Just think of all the other mothers out there just like her.

My son is in the Marine Reserves and I fear he will be sent to Iraq and end up like her son. I feel so much for her it is hard to put it into words. She has such courage.

3. *wild applause* that is SO amazing.
How did she choke back the tears to say that... I am continually amazed by her strength.
