What Noble Cause Did Casey Sheehan Die For?

Ha ha ha ha, LOL, look at posts 239 and 240 I trumped "lash" again before I even read her post.

Well, then don't do it because that is not the issue. The issue is not whether Casey died nobly. Or even if he died for his own private noble cause. The question is what is the noble cause that Bush claims our soldiers are dying for.

Bush lied. That's all there is to it. The whole thing is predicated on a series of lies. Sick feeling isn't it?

I understand you feel that way, GF. But you have no proof to substantiate your claim (and neither does Setanta), and therefore all you have are your feelings. Wild claims to the contrary have thus far all been debunked.

Then why didn't you properly frame your question in your initial thread? The question you did bother to ask has been answered at length.

Casey is a metaphor that represents the soldiers. Sorry, you don't understand a more poetic phrasing.

What noble reasons do any soldiers over here have for dying or being wounded? The noble reasson was very well put by Baldimo. To watch the backs of their battle buddies. If the military wasn't without risks everybody would be in it. I realy do enjoy the people who sit on the sidelines and criticize. Either put up or shut up!

If "everyone" knows, then why is anyone asking "what noble cause did SPC Sheehan die for?"
I am sure that one doesn't necessarily have to be in the military to know the obvious answer.
Politicians dress it up according to agenda, and it should be one's patriotic duty to serve their country, regardless of political leanings.
They are elected to do their jobs, as we have elected ourselves to do ours.
That simple.

On August 26, 2002, at the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention, Cheney stated: "Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction." -- as that was not true, and this has subsequently been shown not to be true, such an unequivocal statement on his part constitutes a lie. He may have believed as much, but he did not know, and he spoke as though he did--therefore, he knowingly, willfully lied. The Shrub made remarks of the same character, asserting a knowledge he did not possess in his pre-war radio addresses. Get over it, Tico, your boys are politicians, they lie for a living.
