We have to hold him accountable. ... We know he lied, and we know he knows he lied,
We can't let somebody rise to the top who will pardon these war criminals. Because they need to go to prison for what they've done in this world. We can't have a pardon. They need to pay for what they've done.
We can't give up, no matter hard it gets.
We have to work together as a global community to fight for peace and justice. We're all in it together. It's not just me who has lost a son.
We were all finally pleased that one of the liars was exposed. But how many more liars do we have to go after in this administration?
We want to hold this administration accountable. Nobody's asking them the hard questions but you know what, we're willing to come here.
The deceptions and betrayals that led to the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq cost my family a price too dear to pay and almost too much to bear, the loss of my boy Casey.
We are just doing what we believe is right,
We're going to get the troops back, and we're going to get George Bush impeached this year.
We're going to do what we do all the time: gather together in peace. We're going to call for George Bush and the neo-cons not to invade Iran. That would be a mistake even worse than Iraq. Our children are sitting ducks in the Middle East; the people of Iran and Iraq would be sitting ducks. And I'm not even sure that this invasion won't lead to World War III. So it's something that we have to stop before it starts.
I don't think aggression on a country that was no threat to the United States is noble.
I don't want him to justify my son's honorable sacrifice to continue his murderous killing policies, ... Late Edition.
I don't want George W. Bush to utilize my son's sacrifice to justify the killing,
I don't understand why, to rise to the level of being president of my country, one has to be a monster. I used to say that George Bush was defiling the Oval Office, but it's been held by a long line of monsters. We don't have to support our administrations to love our country.
