"I think the American people need to know that we have been betrayed in this rush to war," said Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey is among more than 1,000 U.S. troops who died in Iraq.

Sheehan joined a small group of military families at a news conference in Washington on Wednesday to launch new political ads by an interest group called RealVoices.org, which supports Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites)'s White House bid.

The first ads are set to run next week nationally and in battleground cities of Las Vegas, Orlando and Albuquerque.

In one ad, Sheehan is seen sobbing as she tells the story of her son, 24-year-old Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who died in the arms of his best friend in Iraq on April 4.

1. The only counter Bush/Cheney can come up with
is from a retired Air Force captain who has never been to Iraq.

Pathetic.

2. That's as it should be. We're talking about life and death. And for what?
Just as the 9/11 families should be pissed at the administration's foot-dragging on security reform, these families have every right to target Bush. He and Cheney and the others are respnsible for those deaths, yet they have the audacity to carry on as if it's a rosey day in Iraq.
