Monday, September 26, 2005 Killed in Iraq Pat Tillman Not so Pro-Bush After All SanFranGate (via The Cunning Realist... yeh, I can't believe it either): Mary Tillman (Pat's mom) said a friend of Pat’s arranged a private meeting w/ Noam Chomsky, the antiwar author, to take place after his return from Afghanistan- a meeting prevented by his death. She said that although he supported the Afghan war, believing it justified by the 9/11 attacks, “Pat was very critical of the whole Iraq war.” Spc Russell Baer, who served w/Tillman for more than a yr in Iraq and Afghanistan said this: "We were outside of (a city in S. Iraq) watching as bombs were dropping on the town. We were at an old air base, me, Kevin and Pat, we weren’t in the fight right then. We were talking. And Pat said, ‘You know, this war is so f— illegal.’ And we all said, ‘Yeah.’ That’s who he was. He totally was against Bush." Another soldier in the platoon, who asked not to be identified, said Pat urged him to vote for Sen John Kerry. Whoa... what ever w/ Mann the Emaciated Hag Coulter say about this since she/he was oozing all over poor Pat's coffin? |
