Jeb Bush, right, and his brothers Neil Bush, left, and Marvin Bush, center, are pictured in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2011, after President Barack Obama awarded their father, former President George H.W Bush, the 2010 Medal of Freedom.







Lawrence Walsh in 1991-92: Documents indicated GHWB lied about being "out of the loop".

GHWB still receives daily CIA briefings. (Because out-of-the-loop 'wouldn't be prudent'.)

GHWB's role in the Letelier-Moffitt murders was hidden from the public until after Nov 2000 election

GHWB's role in interfering with the Iranian hostage release, sabotaging Pres. Carter's re-election

But GHWB never explained where he was on October 19, 1980.

VP Bush "had his fingerprints all over both sides of the Iran-contra affair..."

But GHWB kept insisting he wasn't in the loop, despite being implicated by Hasenfus.

But, Cheney came to the rescue.

In these dark days of our republic, there is a flame still burning that will never be stamped out:


The Truth Still Matters.

Obama has lost his damn mind.

could accompany this highest award? I know, too many questions. I guess I should have known this could happen after learning early in 2009 that the President was letting bygones be such and that as a country we must move forward! At the time, I thought he was speaking in regard to gw but I guess it was for the entire family! :puke:

Kind of like a BBB sticker on a company window. It means nothing now.

:crazy:

My anger has me - all I can muster is to ditto your observation!

What would have been justice would be to have had him and Junior arrested at the White House (aka the scene of the crime)

I paraphrase Barbara Bush at the Astrodome during Katrina.

We serfs should always remember our place in society, and not question our Masters' decisions.

Orwell- "Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which."

(edit to add quote)

$OME are more equal than others.

Indeed the truth still matters...

And I weep for we are so distant from knowing it.

It a puppet on the right and a puppet on the left

I'd love to see the blinded just try with this one.

:puke:

the dead coming home in body bags...

:grr:

I regret every fucking second I spent campaigning for him and every cent I contributed to his campaign.


not. ever. again.

fucking second you spent campaigning for him and every cent you contributed to his campaign".

Soooooo disgusted with him, over soooo many things...

Greedy, hateful, war mongers...

are the troops of "Operation Desert Storm" being injected with toxic experimental cocktail immunizations that have destroyed their health and lives, as well as exposure to depleted uranium. GHWB carries a karmic debt the size of which is carried by only a few.

http://www.all-natural.com/riley.html

I've had DUers argue with me that depleted uranium is not dangerous. Far too few of us know just how dangerous is this toxic nuclear waste.

Apparently, some democrats don't recognize that the Bush cabal is toxic and dangerous... I agree with those hereinabove who've expressed regret for supporting Obama. He will never get my support or my vote again.

and another favorite

…um

…uh

Oh, crap. I just can't do it.

it's just that we are not part of it. You're looking at it, sitting in that room.

paying homage to the Bush Crime Clan, I regret every disagreement I have ever had with Republican friends and family members where I tried to defend them. Now, my disagreements are different. I ask them what do THEY think when the see, that while we are fighting among ourselves over these politicians, THEY are all laughing at us as they drink cocktails at their elite club where none of us, from either side, will ever be welcome.

At least the Clintons waited until after he left office to fawn over the Bushes.

Disgusing. We're like some third world dictatorship where the more crimes against humanity a 'strongman' commits, the more revered he is.

about the disagreements. I feel really bad that I defended Clinton as I did in the 1990s. I now feel he is beneath contempt.

This nation is truly in a world of hurt and these presidents, all of them, did very little during their term in office that was positive. Much of what they did caused lasting harm to the American people. I will not forgive them.

One thing for sure. I won't be fooled again. And I do mean that.

Neil SkankyBoy Bush was there -- I hope they counted the silverware after he departed. He stole sooooo much money from the US taxpayers....

Republicon Family Pharisee Values = :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

and so very true.

Um..er..ya know, I just can't remember.

Where was 'W' during this ceremony? I guess he was busy looking for those WMD.

:sarcasm:

assassination who cannot remember where he was.

graphic detail where they were that day and what they were doing when they heard the news.
Suuuuure he doesn't remember...

They are an evil, evil crime family, and have been for generations.
Fucking scum.

C'mon, gang! Let's all become... War Party Billionaires!

:mad:

Not that I wouldn't grumble about having to look at his face.

...or couldn't dry out in time.

The metal of freedom for him?!
WTF!

Hows that for some words? I guess God doesn't want them and the devil doesn't need the competition?:shrug:

jayzus, next thing we know * will be having one pinned on his own self in the interest of bipartisinship.

I think I'm gonna go drink a large rum drink now, I can't bear this bullshit.:wtf:

He's essentially been a five-term US Pres (could argue even 7 terms) - his policies and uh...influence representing the interests of the Ruling Class for decades!

I'd have to assert that the Bush cabal took Milton Friedman's sociopathic and hedonistic economic paradigm and helped make it a grim reality around the globe. They were not alone in this--the Corporate Megalomaniacs (of which they are but one family among a tiny group of such greedy 'elites') have been complicit in sucking up all the wealth and power on the planet.

Ok we got 2 with Ronald "drool" Raygun, one on his own and 2 with junior (although one could argue that it was his "team" and not poppy ghoul himself who called the shots while junior pickled in booze for 8 years.

Where are the other 2?

This is yet another reminder we have turned into just another Banana Republic, albeit with nuclear weapons and psychopaths for leaders.

Recall the cartoon stereotype of the Banana Republic generals with 20 rows of medals. Our medals are awarded by the truckload to traitors just like that.

Seriously..I didn't see any clips of the ceremony. I'd really like to know what kind of bafflegab Pres. Obama used to justify this travesty.

Oh, and you forgot one, Seafan. Didn't he bail out of his plane and leave his crew to die, during WWII?

Poppy Bush: An authorized biography? "...I'd rather not fool with it." , December 1, 2007

Not surprising, for Poppy has infinite skeletons lurking in his closet, pushing and clawing to break free.

How sickening, I can't think of a lower moment for a democrat President. Obama loves Reagan!!!!!


Obama=Disappointment

of a sort for all those poor innocent children W later killed. At first I thought this meant W. That would have been a true outrage. From the pictures it doesn't appear W was even there. I guess he is afraid to travel any closer to EU than Texas. Ha! Hey, maybe the Mexicans will capture W and ship him to the Hague.

Seriously, she looked exactly like that back in the 80s

Oooh, the dirty low down down-low...

He knew that military force, if you decide to apply it, should be applied with extreme power and for a short duration with clear goals.

Also, if using force, seek the help and approval of the rest of the world.

He did that well, if one can call the murder of people 'doing something well'.

and lie as much as necessary to procure that approval...http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/incubatorlie.html

medal of freedom. whose freedom?

The longer this goes on, the more socialist I'm beginning to feel.

They are directly responsible for many of the insurmountable problems facing this nation today.

Thank you for another great post, seafan.

Just a coincidence, right.

:evilgrin:

More over, why's George Washington wearing a lavender dress??

I think that is why he was given the Medal of Honor at this time. He appears to have difficulty interacting with people. He was always confused, but it looks like it is getting worse. Barbara Bush's expression is that of a caretaker.

vomit.

:puke:

like he is not long for this world, and this strange charade is being done reluctantly by President Obama because of that. This looks like everyone is just going through the motions, and not even pretending to be happy.

Near you!!
