Berg father blames President Bush for his son's beheading
The father of the American businessman beheaded in Iraq yesterday directly blamed President George Bush and his Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, for the death of his son. He made his opposition to the invasion of Iraq clear by planting an anti-war poster on the front lawn of his home near Philadelphia.

2. Well, Lets hear it from the Freeper Spinsters
I wonder what they will be saying about this one!

A woman that manages a McDonald's that I know lost her son in Iraq, and hated the war to begin with. She also blames Bush and definately got flamed when he made jokes about WMD.

6. They hate the father. To them, he's just another liberal traitor,
from what little I've read there. A few have called for giving him some slack, considering as his son was just murdered and all.

3. He should blame them for their total incompetence!!!
Do you have to be a military genius to figure out that an unarmed, white, fair skinned, american jew running around a country to which you have invited all terrorists to fight, might some how pose a problem and could very easily be captured and pose more problems. No offense against Nick, but no american without proper connections to some group that cares for their safety should be allowed to roam around that country. This administration is in charge of the country. If you don't know what that means it means they can kill, kick out or forcible remove anyone posing them a threat. Do they need an email about why they should check to see if the american is with any aid organization or company and if not send them home. Iraq is no place of the small business owner right now.

7. Mr. Berg just on CNN Aaron Brown dissing Bush - awesome!
He stated clearly that Bush and Rumsfield took his son's life. He asked on camera that his government answer whether they refused a deal to trade his son's life for an imprisoned Al Qaida member.

He said all Americans must know what that their government would not save their children's' lives.
