A Dying Veteran's Letter to George W Bush and Dick Cheney

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



HERE Mar 19, 2013

On this the 10th anniversary of the worst Foreign Policy blunder in our time I would like to share a dying hero letter.

To: George W. Bush and Dick Cheney
From: Tomas Young
I write this letter on the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War on behalf of my fellow Iraq War veterans. I write this letter on behalf of the 4,488 soldiers and Marines who died in Iraq. I write this letter on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of veterans who have been wounded and on behalf of those whose wounds, physical and psychological, have destroyed their lives. I am one of those gravely wounded. I was paralyzed in an insurgent ambush in 2004 in Sadr City. My life is coming to an end. I am living under hospice care.

I write this letter on behalf of husbands and wives who have lost spouses, on behalf of children who have lost a parent, on behalf of the fathers and mothers who have lost sons and daughters and on behalf of those who care for the many thousands of my fellow veterans who have brain injuries. I write this letter on behalf of those veterans whose trauma and self-revulsion for what they have witnessed, endured and done in Iraq have led to suicide and on behalf of the active-duty soldiers and Marines who commit, on average, a suicide a day. I write this letter on behalf of the some 1 million Iraqi dead and on behalf of the countless Iraqi wounded. I write this letter on behalf of us all—the human detritus your war has left behind, those who will spend their lives in unending pain and grief.

You may evade justice but in our eyes you are each guilty of egregious war crimes, of plunder and, finally, of murder, including the murder of thousands of young Americans—my fellow veterans—whose future you stole.

I write this letter, my last letter, to you, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney. I write not because I think you grasp the terrible human and moral consequences of your lies, manipulation and thirst for wealth and power. I write this letter because, before my own death, I want to make it clear that I, and hundreds of thousands of my fellow veterans, along with millions of my fellow citizens, along with hundreds of millions more in Iraq and the Middle East, know fully who you are and what you have done. You may evade justice but in our eyes you are each guilty of egregious war crimes, of plunder and, finally, of murder, including the murder of thousands of young Americans—my fellow veterans—whose future you stole.

      Dear Mr. Young,

      George W. Bush Jr. and Dick Cheney will receive their just reward. Unfortunately justice for them will be served once they gasp for that last breath.

      GWB retired to a 99,000 acre ranch in Paraguay. Cheney I don’t know where he is and nor do I care.

      Kissinger I am sure had a hand in these invasions as well as he has been behind much of the dirtiest, sneakiest our corrupt government has pulled and is still pulling.

      You can tell what a man is made of by what comes out of his mouth, so here are a few quotes for people to ponder:

      Military men are “dumb, stupid animals to be used” as pawns for foreign policy. – Henry Kissinger, National Security Advisor to Nixon, 1973. (War Criminal, Freemason, Zionist, White House Advisor during the Iraq and Afghan wars)

      Power is the great aphrodisiac. – Henry A. Kissinger

      “You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror.” –George W. Bush Jr. – interview with CBS News’ Katie Couric, Sept. 6, 2006

      “I’m the commander — see, I don’t need to explain — I do not need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being president.” GWB–as quoted in Bob Woodward’s Bush at War

      “See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.” –Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005 – you can go here to actually hear the audio: http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blbushism-propaganda.htm (propaganda means lie).

      “I had other priorities in the ’60s than military service.” – Let’s be fair, though. Cheney, who had five draft deferments back then, made that comment in 1989, long before he knew he would be thrust into the role of Hypocrite in Chief.

      —————
      I’ve researched 9/11 for over a decade now and in my own opinion, believe the Bush Administration had full knowledge of it before it happened and even possibly had a hand in it occurring.

      A false flag operation to sell the American People by fear into a costly war.

      And yes I too believe Bush and Cheney are directly responsible for not only the deaths of our own young men and women who blindly followed them but now we have over 4 million orphaned Iraqi children.

      I was orphaned at 9.

      Most of you have a mommy and daddy until what around 50?

      You have no comprehension of losing your parents as a child. Mine went from cancer and a heart attack.

      To have a parent blown up, shot or tortured (yes America tortures and takes pictures of smiling soldiers peeing on their dead enemies or giving a thumb up) and we wonder why after over a decade of ceaseless bombing, now with spent uranium (research that one) causing not only death but altering DNA – again we wonder why so much of the world hates America.

      Our votes as of November 22, 1962 no longer counted.

      Our voting system is rigged because TPTB, The global elite, want to make dam sure the POTUS is indeed a globalist puppet that will toe the line.

      Justice will be served when these psychopaths stand before Almighty God.

      A few decades of power, wealth, wine, women (and young boys) and a eternity of hell.

      These corrupt leaders will have to answer to a higher power and what goes around comes around.

      God bless you Tomas Young.

      “May you see the light in the darkness during these challenging times.

      May you feel the loving presence of those who hold you in their thoughts & prayers.

      May your spirit find what it needs to sustain you on this journey.

      May you discover your inner strength & face all difficulties with dignity & grace.

      May you be filled with comfort, love, strength, grace & a lasting sense of peace.” – Kirsti A. Dyer MD, MS, FT, former About.com Guide
