Note to the Press: Tammy Pruett's Sons Are ALIVE -->>>
Edited on Thu Aug-25-05 01:01 PM by Stephanie


I know it must be agony for her to have four sons stationed in Iraq, but she is not the equivalent to Cindy. Her sons are alive.

during his address at the Idaho Center Arena in Nampa, Idaho, where
Bush spoke on the continuing efforts of America's troops in Iraq. The
salute to Pruett was a clear response to anti-war protestor Cindy
Sheehan, who has besieged the president at his Texas ranch and demanded
a meeting with him to discuss the death of her soldier son in
Iraq.(AFP/Jim Watson)

2. What a crock of crap.
Out of nearly 2,000 families, Bush couldn't even find ONE parent that had lost a child in Iraq that agreed with his BS, so he had to pay off and trot out this loser. Unbelievable.

She's just another military mom, one of hundreds of thousands. Until one of her kids gets killed, she cannot speak from experience, and her situation has NOTHING in common with Ms. Sheehan's.

3. And they are probably the safest troops in Iraq
I thought they didn't even send everyone from one family to the same theatre anymore.

4. I guess we'll get back to her. I hope they all stay alive.
Four sons in theatre strikes me as taking a pretty big risk.

5. Five Sullivan Bros. killed together ww2 didn't pass law about family
members serving together on same war front, Bush using Tammy Pruett to counter anti-war protest.

7. Look at this scumbags eyes even from the side.
He looks like he has about as much warmth as a goddamn reptile. (my apologies to any lizards out there) How ANYONE can look at him and think he has a kind, "compassionate bone in his body is beyond me.

8. How supportive will she be if one of her family members is killed
or maimed? I hope everyone gets home intact.

9. STRAIGHT OUT DA JOSEPH GOEBBELS PROPAGANDA MANUAL.
See how high ol' Georgie Boy can stack steaming bullshit????

This reminds me of how Hitler used to "honor" the mothers of German soldiers- if you recall your history, he wanted German women to stay at home, breed and keep pumping out future soldiers for the Reich. Well, well, well. We have here a 21st century re-enactment of the same damn thing, don't we? Just kick in a little Wagner music and we are all set!

She will be singing a different tune if (God forbid) one of her sons comes home in a box. Recall Lila Lipscomb...
