THOMPSON, Ohio -- In Geauga County, anger and frustration over the death of a young soldier inside Iraq has prompted one family to send a personal message to President Bush.

Ken and Betty Landrus have put up a large sign outside their home near Thompson, Ohio that is sharply critical of the Bush administration.

The sign reads "Thanks Mr. Bush for the death of our son."

Their son, Staff Sgt. Sean Landrus was killed near Fallujah in January.

They believe the president misled the country about the reasons for invading Iraq and that their son died for nothing.

“Yes I do feel lied to because they kept saying there’s mass destruction and nobody’s found anything yet,” father Ken Landrus said.

Sean Landrus also left behind a wife and three young children.

His youngest daughter, Kennedy, was born just before Sean left to serve inside Iraq.

7. Fake wars for fake reasons are signs of a very poor leader

who thinks not for the common good but that of special interests of his friends and connections. That this has been revealed to date already produces a smell of a high level.

That this couple has lost a son and a father is tragic given the conditions and rationale Bush has offered. My heart goes out to them and all families going thru or have gone thru sim circumstances. We Americans don't mind dying for a noble cause and this Iragi war is def not one of them....
