Another Pathetic Anti-war Mom

On The O'Reilly Factor tonight, Dolores Kesterson, mother of a soldier who died in Iraq, was interviewed about her meeting with President Bush shortly after her son's death last June. She reiterated a lot of the anti-war nonsense from the Left, such as Iraq being no threat, the people of Iraq not being free, the cause being fruitless, etc.

I can forgive a mother who lost her only son to war, but I think she does her son a major disservice by opposing his son's belief that he was acting in a noble cause. And she does the nation a disservice by saying that President Bush has "no conscience" and the war has had no positive effects on the world. (This, despite the fact that Bush met with her in private, at her request, because she said she was a "family of one" and didn't want to meet Bush with her ex-husband.)

Another sad, but pathetic performance by an anti-war, anti-Bush liberal woman with an agenda.
