FAMILY DEMANDS THE TRUTH / New inquiry may expose events that led to Pat Tillman�s death

FAMILY DEMANDS THE TRUTH / New inquiry may expose events that led to Pat Tillman�s death: "�I can see it like a movie screen,� Baer said. �We were outside of (a city in southern 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.� "

But bottle-blonde brainer Ann Coulter got all wet about Pat, mistakenly thinking that he was like her dad - an idiot with a stiffy from which flies the flag she can't get enough of...

"Tillman was an American original: virtuous, pure and masculine like only an American male can be. The stunningly handsome athlete walked away from a three-year, $3.6 million NFL contract with the Arizona Cardinals to join the U.S. military and fight in Afghanistan, where he was killed in April.

He wanted no publicity and granted no interviews about his decision to leave pro football in the prime of his career and join the Army Rangers. (Most perplexing to Democrats, he didn't even take a home movie camera to a war zone in order to create fake footage for future political campaigns in which he would constantly palaver about his military service and drag around his "Band of Brothers" for the media.)

Tillman gave only an indirect explanation for his decision on the day after 9-11, when he said: "My great grandfather was at Pearl Harbor, and a lot of my family has gone and fought in wars, and I really haven't done a damn thing as far as laying myself on the line like that." He said he wanted to "pay something back" to America.

He died bringing freedom and democracy to 28 million Afghans – pretty much confirming Michael Moore's view of America as an imperialist cowboy predator. There is not another country in the world – certainly not in continental Europe – that could have produced a Pat Tillman."
