Cindy On Wolf Blitzer NOW.
Edited on Fri Aug-12-05 04:26 PM by DistressedAmerican
On with another mother of a dead soldier that loves Bush and still supports the war.

She notes, "Freedom isn't free Wolf."

3. i wonder how long they searched to find Mrs. Frank.
She said "Well done, well done",
when they heard their son had died in Iraq?

Where did they find this woman? Oh, Chicago.

4. Well then let her send all her
children if she likes. I have one who goes to Baghdad in a month and I frankly think he is not fighting for anyone's freedom, nor ours, not theirs...

16. It has been weird. He has had
orders since May to report to Afghanistan, then a couple of days ago, he got orders, was ordered to immediately report and told he was going to baghdad.

7. The "Freedom isn't free"
slogan has really been bothering me. Do they really believe that if we hadn't invaded Iraq, that we would not be a democracy any longer? I don't really want to criticize the mother that lost her son that was "presenting the other side" for saying that. If that is what she believes and what gives her justification, I'll support her in that. It is the politicians and "talking point" ditto heads that really get to me.

10. "Freedom isn't Free"
And democracy requires that every citizen get more informed beyond the usual water cooler conversation.

15. I was most impressed with the fact that Cindy
offered her condolences to the other Mother, Georgette - who spoke first and didn't offer her condolences to Cindy.

Cindy is resolute, fearless and speaks with heart. Bravo, Cindy.
