I never ever, ever got up here and said ... I speak for every single military family,
I don't think aggression on a country that was no threat to the United States is noble.
I've spoken to thousands of people this week, ... I'm so tired, and then I get someplace like this, and I'm so full of love and so full of energy.
I plan on returning to Camp Casey very soon, ... But while I'm in Los Angeles, please respect that my sister, brother and I are here focusing on our mother, while the moms in Crawford focus on Bush. The president is not off the hook.
It was very interesting how so many people are struggling to survive. They resort to petty crime to survive and get arrested while people at Halliburton steal millions from the government and they're out prospering.
Seems lak haf' the country be plumb crazy.
Every time Bush talks he should be removed from office,
I was speaking and someone grabbed my backpack and pulled me back pretty roughly. I was shoved around.
This war is immoral, it will end. The darkness will never overcome the light.
The president is not going to meet with us, probably. We the people need to influence our congressional representatives and I hear he's pretty close by.
You know what I would have said? 'What noble cause did my son die for?'
Who do you want as YOUR Commander in Chief?
We need to see that George Bush and the rest of them are tried for crimes against humanity.
We need to stop the war in Iraq, we need to bring our troops home immediately.
