Cindy Sheehan Son Quotations

My son was killed in 2004. I am not paying my taxes for 2004. You killed my son, George Bush, and I don't owe you a penny.

No one can sustain rage for long. I am still angry and always will be. My dear son was stolen from me and his family to never return. He was killed for profit and lies. How can I not be angry? Sometimes though, the rage comes back.

You know what I would have said? 'What noble cause did my son die for?'

I feel like I gave my son to this country in an illegal and immoral war, and I'll never get him back.

The person who killed my son, I have no animosity for that person at all.

My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel.

George, your reckless and wanton foreign policies killed my son, Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan, in the illegal and unjust war on Iraq. Helping to bring about your political downfall will be the most noble accomplishment of my life, and it will bring justice for my son and the hundreds of other brave Americans and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis your lies have killed.

You tell me the truth. You tell me that my son died for oil. You tell me that my son died to make your friends rich. You tell me my son died to spread the cancer of Pax Americana, imperialism in the Middle East.

Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC [Project for the New American Century] Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by George [W.] Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11.

There is too much at stake to worry about our own egos. When my son was killed, I had to face the fact that I was somehow also responsible for what happened. Every American that allows this to continue has, to some extent, blood on their hands. Some of us have a little bit, and some of us are soaked in it.

[My son] Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives.

wrapping herself in the courage of her son Casey...

To me, every single member since Number One has been tragic and needless and unnecessary, ... My son was somewhere around 615, and I've been working so hard for peace since my son was killed and now almost 1,400 more soldiers have been killed since Casey died.

What was the noble cause my son died for?

That lying bastard, George Bush, is taking a five-week vacation in time of war, ... tells me why my son died in Iraq. I've got the whole month of August off, and so does he.

Everyone in America should be appalled that that many were killed. What's more obscene, me wearing the number, or that there is a number at all? My son is one of those numbers.

I want to ask the president, why did he kill my son? He said my son died in a noble cause, and I want to ask him what that noble cause is.

I know my son. I know him better than anybody else. And, he wasn't married, we were very close. He called me everyday when he was at Fort Hood. We talked about all of his life, all of my life. And, I lost my best friend when I lost my son. But I know my son. And, I know he would say 'I don't want anymore of my buddies killed just because I am dead; I want my buddies to come home alive.' And I know when I get up to greet him, when it is my time, he is going to say 'good job, Mom.' He is not going to accuse me of dishonoring his memory. And, anybody who knows my son better than me, would like to come forward and tell me something different, I would be glad to hear their voices.

For the more than 1,800 who have come home this way in flag-draped coffins, each one ... was a son or a daughter, not cannon fodder to be used so recklessly, ... Each one is a valuable human life that is missed so desperately.

All I want is for President Bush to take one hour out of his vacation and meet with me before another mother's son dies in Iraq, ... You don't use our country's precious sons and daughters unless it's absolutely necessary to defend America. Mr. President, it is time to level with the American people.

All those reports prove my son died needlessly.

All of those reports prove my son died needlessly. This proved that every reason George Bush gave us for going to war was wrong.
