Fleischer Callously Tells Dead Soldier’s Mom ‘There Are Going To Be A Lot More Mothers’ Like You

Yesterday, Ari Fleischer, former White House Press Secretary and current board member of the White House front group Freedom’s Watch, appeared on MSNBC to defend a recent ad showing an injured Iraq veteran saying “they attacked us, and they will again.”

During the segment, host Norah O’Donnell showed Fleischer a video of a mother whose son was killed in Iraq. In the ad, the mother states:

Ari Fleischer helped to deliver this country to the war in Iraq through a campaign of ignorance, negligence, and arrogance. Since then, we’ve heard the sad truth. … And the weapons of mass destruction? My son Sherwood died protecting the Iraq Survey Group while they looked for the weapons.

Fleischer expressed no sympathy for the mother, instead using her grief as platform to spew more war-mongering rhetoric, alleging that all mothers would be at risk of losing their children if we leave Iraq:

Well, my fear is that unless we win in Iraq, there are going to be a lot more mothers who lose a lot more children. And that’s why we cannot afford to lose in Iraq. … There is going to be an attack on America. … It very well may be in Iraq.

Watch it at link~

Cuz sanity seems to be in short supply lately.

Not being in the WhiteHouse hasn't helped that a bit.

His new wife must be an asshole too, either that or she's completely subservient.

so she can't be very bright.

It was such an endearing line from Ari!

That should tell you something.

finish inspecting before they invaded Iraq. Hans Blick (head of UN search) begged Colin Powell to tell him where the weapons were when Powell claimed he knew. This woman's son died protecting a team that was sent in as a cover for Bush and his lawless administration; sent in to search for weapons they knew they never had proof existed.

Fleisher, I believe, also had a role in the Valerie Plame outing or its coverup.

Why isn't Ari Fleisher working in one of the most dangerous areas Iraq instead of making ads about Iraq. If he did so I could at least have a measure of respect for him. His is just contemptible.

On second thought, just drop him without the chute or M-16.

and get away with it all they do

THE REPUBLICANS ARE PROMISING AN ATTACK.

AND WITH THE DOMINIONISTS IN THE MILITARY, THEY HAVE THE POWER

don't want to condemn this fucking ad?

are, the motherfuckers. Ari is still a mf after all these years and so is his wife and his dog and his cat and his mf-in goldfish.

What an asshole. Scaring moms to push your agenda. Grieving moms to boot. :puke:
