MOVE OVER, CINDY: BUSH SINGLES OUT OTHER MILITARY MOM
Wed Aug 24 2005 16:53:27 ET

NAMPA, Idaho -- President Bush today took direct aim at Cindy Sheehan, the anti-war protester who has set up camp near the Bushes Texas ranch and purports to speak for military moms who, like her, have lost a son in the Iraq war.

Speaking to hundreds of Idaho National Guardsmen, the president singled out military mom Tammy Pruett of Pocatello, Idaho, whose husband and five sons have all served in Iraq.

"Tammy has four sons serving in Iraq right now with the Idaho National Guard: Eric, Evan, Greg and Jeff. Last year her husband, Leon, and another son, Aaron, returned from Iraq, where they helped train Iraqi firefighters in Mosul.

"Tammy says this -- and I want you to hear this -- 'I know that if something happens to one of the boys, they would leave this world doing what they believe, what they think is right for our country.'

"And I guess you couldn't ask for a better way of life than giving it for something that you believe in. America lives in freedom because of families like the Pruetts."

The crowd, made up mostly of military family members, broke into cheers and chants of "U-S-A! U-S-A!"

1. Pawns, fucking pawns.

2. I can only hope and pray

Mrs Pruett never experiences the loss of a loved one because of an illegal, immoral war.

:cry:

[Richardo]

3. Of course, all *her* sons are still alive

So there's that. :eyes:

4. New recruiting slogan?

"you couldn't ask for a better way of life than giving it for something that you believe in."

General Patton would heartily disagree.

5. "America lives in freedom because of families like the Pruetts."

were we in danger of losing "our freedom"? good fucking god, the chimp can't even draw a direct connection in his speeches, let alone in his reasons for going to war. what a fucking moran

7. They hate us for our freedoms, you know

[JimmyJazz]

16. I thought it was because of our internets.

Damn. I need to read LBN more.

6. He couldn't even pick a Gold Star mother?

:eyes:

[Love Bug]

13. No, he picked a mother with 4 boys who enlisted in the National Guard

because that is probably the only way they can afford college.

Hope she doesn't end up like Mrs. Sullivan from WWII.

[Fenris]

15. Funny, I thought of her too when I read the story.

Though I doubt Mrs. Pruett will get a Hollywood movie if her sons are all killed.

8. this is a wrassLin story Line right?

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

[graywarrior]

9. He's desperate.

Imagine, having to leave the Crawford Ranch to beg for support.

[nickgutierrez]

10. This smacks of desperation

He's being forced to react - the slime they're chucking at Cindy obviously isn't sticking, so he needs to find another way to try and reduce her momentum. This one, however, is doomed for failure, just like the war.

[sniffa]

11. move over, bacon: here's something meatier.

12. Joseph Wilson summed it up well:

He said

"The Bush White House and its right-wing allies are responding to Cindy Sheehan and the military families' vigil in central Texas in the same way that they always respond to bad news -- by unleashing personal attacks and smears against her."

[Debi]

14. Does this mean his daughters will be enlisting soon?

What greater support for America and their father's war than to put their lives on the line. :patriot:
