Fallen soldier's mother says her son 'died for absolutely nothing'

[rhino91063]

Hopewell Township relatives talk about Lt. Seth Dvorin's death in Iraq.


Generous, compassionate, warm, piercingly intelligent and insightful, frank and open about his feelings, and fun loving.
That is how Army 1st Lt. Seth Dvorin, 24, who was killed in Iskandariyah, Iraq on Feb. 3, is remembered by his grieving family. But their tumultuous emotional mix is replete with stinging anger and frustration, as well as overwhelming sorrow.
"My son died for absolutely nothing," Lt. Dvorin's mother, Sue Niederer, declared with quiet, forceful bluntness in her Hopewell Township home on Lake Baldwin Drive Friday. Ms. Niederer blames President George W. Bush personally for her son's death.
"Seth died for President Bush's personal vendetta," she said. "Bush put us where we should never have been. We're not even in a declared war."
Ms. Niederer says the growing national controversy over the failure to find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq proves that "we have a very big problem in this country. If the intelligence on which this war was based is as inefficient as it now appears to have been, there is something is seriously wrong here."

I am shocked that AP did not pick this story up. This is the same news agency that picked up the story that Ken and Barbie broke up.

4. Exactly how I felt when I went to the Vietnam Memorial.

How sad that we allowed the corporate chickenhawk cowards to control our country again. They gladly send our troops to die if it is good for business.

6. They don't send the families profit statements for the oil companies?

Halliburton alone has made a ton of money.

7. Broken Hearts, Broken Lives

543 lives now snuffed out in their prime. You raise kids, see them through childhood illnesses, scrapes and triumphs. You hope to see the next generation and not outlive your children. Then what happens? A bunch of war mongering politicians and criminals use them as canon fodder. Bush and his cartel have to go. America has to wake up to the fact we've been duped, duped and duped again. :mad:

10. I posted this story on some debate groups

I got comments from right wingers like:

"Her grief has driven her over to the enemy"

"It is just spite to wish that Congressional children had to serve as well"

"The Dems are just as much to blaim, they allowed bush to wage the war"

"She is irrational and just lashing out in anger"
