The Sheehan That I Care About

Lost in the bustle of ridiculous MSM fawning over a not-so-bright Cindy Sheehan is the story of the young man who made Cindy famous in the first place – her son, Casey, killed in action in Iraq in 2004.

Blackfive has Casey’s moving story on his site.  Read it.  (It will bring tears to your eyes.)

Below is the text of my comment posted on BlackFive:

May these brave men rest in peace. But, why the HELL has the Bush Administration allowed this accursed Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al'Sadr not only to live, but to prosper. I remember General Sanchez(sp?) who was booted over the Abu Ghraib (non-)scandal, saying that American forces would kill or capture al-Sadr. Well, the US forces (under the Bush/Rummy team's lead) have -- since the Abu Ghraib (non-)scandal and Sanchez' rotation out of Baghdad -- obviously opted for a "kinder, gentler" kind of war that does not avenge the blood of our fallen troops as it should -- and continues to have our men fight hand-to-hand while F-16s go largely unused.
