Just like I predicted Cindy is attracting other parents, whose children are serving in Iraq, to her cause. I heard on "The Ed Schultz Show" that there are many more Moms and others on their way to Crawford right now.
I also saw Bill O'Reilly's rediculous attempts to discredit Cindy by taking quotes out of context and trying to make the case that she has not been consistent. Even if that were true, which I doubt, would it matter? This is what this woman feels now! She is still hurting from the loss of her son and she just wants to know the real reason that we went to war with Iraq.
The reason that this is resonating so strongly with the American people is because it is a question that we all want answered. Why did we go to Iraq! The "Downing Street Memo's" show that America wanted to go to Iraq regardless of any evidence of WMD's, but why? Why risk our standing in the international community? Why risk starting a fight with a group of people who are no threat to us? Why ignore all of the good intelligence that said that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11? Why?
I hope that Cindy gets her audience with King George. And I hope that she takes him to task with the cameras rolling and the American people watching. I hope for it, but I doubt it.
My son, a Marine just returned from Iraq, and I am proud of Cindy for standing up, and saying what needs to be said. Wish I could afford to go to TX and stand with her.
