Michael Anderson can recount his son's last moments on earth down to the second.

. . .

The Modesto, Calif. , resident said he also knew that the Iraq war was working and that it must work or the deaths of his son and the more than 3,800 other members of the U.S. military would have been in vain.

"The surge is working," he said. "I sat through some briefings and investigated for myself. I've talked to the boots on the ground. My opinion is that the leaders who are trying to run this war from the comfort of their well-decorated and comfortable offices are wrong.

"This (war) is not going to be over with signing our names on a dotted line saying this is over. This is our children's children's war. This is an ongoing conflict of good versus evil and we need to put a collar around it."

G vs. E? Gotta catapult the propaganda.

1. Dude can't come to grips with the fact that the whole shebang was in vain. It might

take years, but he'll realize how badly he's been had in losing his son for Chimpy's War of Choice. Sad.

2. Sorry your son died for nothing

But thats the truth. Maybe you should be mad at the jerk who sent him to his death: Bush. This guy will have to face reality someday, and it should be earlier rather than later, when he could still make a stand to prevent other parents' children from dying for nothing.

5. most wars are about nothing.

3. Just because someone dies, doesn't mean there is a rational reason.

Poor guy, so blind and now without his son. :( Sad on so many levels.

4. He has every right to believe whatever he needs to get him through the night

I support his right to say it as much as I support Sheehan's right to give her opinion. They both have "skin in the game". Their opinions were paid for in the blood of their children. I'll not argue either one.
