Families of Iraq War Dead Target Bush in Ads

[Khephra]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Angered by President Bush's policy in Iraq, a group of military families whose relatives died there is targeting the president in new television ads to be aired ahead of the Nov. 2 election.

"I think the American people need to know that we have been betrayed in this rush to war," said Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey is among the more than 1,000 U.S. troops who died in the war.

Sheehan is joining a small group of military families in Washington on Wednesday to launch new political ads by an interest group called RealVoices.org, which supports Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry's bid for the White House.

"It's important that we get our troops home from Iraq as soon as possible so no other families have to go through what we are going through," said Sheehan of Vacaville, California.

1. All sympathy to them.

They have learned, most bitterly, what the value of life is to our war-happy politicians.

rush to war"

Yep. Betrayed by that lying weasel Bu$h and every other republican PNAC loving warmonger.
