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.
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 can't give up, no matter hard it gets.
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 need to bring our troops home immediately, as soon as possible,
We have a lot of respect for the office of the president, and I have a new respect for him because he was sincere, and he didn't have to take the time to meet with us.
We have to hold him accountable. ... We know he lied, and we know he knows he lied,
wrapping herself in the courage of her son Casey...
We have seen this week the disastrous politics of this nation. We need to bring our troops home now. We need to have them here to protect America.
What happened last night is very disturbing to all of us, and it should be really disturbing to America. Because no matter what you think about the war, we should all honor the sacrifice of the ones who have fallen. And to me it's so ironic that I'm accused of dishonoring my son's memory, by doing what I'm doing, by the other side, and then somebody comes and does this.
What was the noble cause my son died for?
