FALKLAND VETERAN'S GRIEF FOR SOLDIER SON -

[dArKeR]

THE father of the youngest soldier to die in Iraq last night angrily demanded answers from Tony Blair for sending his son to war on a false pretence.

Rob Kelly, 54, whose 18-year-old paratrooper son Andrew died in a shooting accident in Basra, said: "If Tony Blair's teenage son had been in the Army he would never have taken this country to war."

As the prime minister defiantly told a Commons committee he had been justified in going to war, Mr Kelly said: "Initially, I agreed with the Government and Tony Blair.

"Like everyone else I had to trust the information we were being given and the reasons for going to war. But now I am asking 'What was it for?' and 'What did my son die for?'

I just can't believe dead/wounded American soldiers families' aren't asking these same questions! Why don't we see more reports like this in the American media? There should be a Special Prosecutor assigned to look into the relationship of the American media and the GOP Party and the NSA.

In George Bush's America, its unpatriotic to question the president. You better watch what you say in George Bush's America.

:puke: :puke:

Thankfully, these notions now are being laid to rest. I think the nation as a whole will soon have to face the fact that our sitting
president is war criminal who lied to start an unnecessary war.
