Iraq War Vet Confronts Bush, Demands Apology For War Lies

[CatWoman]

“Mr. Bush, when are you going to apologize for the million Iraqis that are dead because you lied?” he asked.

Whew. I didn't realize just how cathartic it would be, to finally see someone publicly call out war criminal George W. Bush at a red-carpet event in Beverly Hills. Via The Daily Sabah:

“Mr. Bush, when are you going to apologize for the million Iraqis that are dead because you lied?” Iraq war vet and anti-war journalist Mike Prysner demanded.

“You lied about weapons of mass destruction, you lied about connections to 9/11. You lied about Iraq being a threat,” shouted Prysner, as Bush told him to “sit and behave.”

“My friends are dead. You killed people. You lied,” Prysner yelled as he was forcibly removed. "My friends are dead because you lied. You need to apologize! Apologize!”

2. Never forget his disgusting "joke" about looking for weapons of mass destruction in the Oval Office.

"Nope, no weapons over there." "Maybe under here." Laughing.

8. Sad part is, most of the audience and press laughed n/t

15. He also made a lynching joke about MLK Jr that most people don't remember.

It was early in the first term at a ceremony in the White House for the unveiling of a portrait of MLK, whose wife and children were there.

First words:

Well, thank you all very much for coming. Mrs. King, thanks for this beautiful portrait. I can't wait to hang it. [Laughter]

Watch the video. He has a smirk and the audience laughs. Even though -- on its face -- there's nothing at all amusing worth laughing at in that opening statement.

He should be in a cell in the Hague

7. they are too busy investigating thoroughly Joe Biden's "dementia"

[bullwinkle428]

9. BOOM. This freak thought he could come back out into the public eye

again, following his pretty little speech on the 9/11 anniversary. He needs to know that MILLIONS of us have LONG memories.

10. "Thank you for your service"

As long as you don't try to make us face the truth about it.

17. This, so freaking this

My Uncle Bob is still wondering where his leg went and why we fought Vietnam ?


Bush was too freakin busy to serve, daddy getting you in the guard does not count.


Does anybody here think W Bush really cares about what happened to the people of Iraq or Afghanistan who lived or died or were maimed ???

11. My Poem for Bush when he left office

What I'd say to his face if I could:

I'd tell you to go fuck yourself
But that is much too kind
For if you could perform that feat
You'd take pleasure in your behind

I'd like to say it eat shit and die
But you deserve much more
You should suffer all the grief and pain
Of your misbegotten war

Though I could never make you think
Or feel, or understand
I'll take solace when you hear your name
Cursed throughout the land

From inside a lonely prison cell
Dark and bare and cold
Where every day you pay for your crimes
Until you're sick, heartbroken, and old

And when you finally leave this earth
You fucked over oh so well
If there is a God and afterlife
You're going straight to hell

13. I would like this post!

Nice little ditty--and ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON!

12. Excellent.

Because Donald Trump is so nightmarishly awful, Bush has gotten a pass lately. Lots of folks are trying to rehabilitate him.

He was and always will be a terrible president.

14. Time for more painting.

16. I Went To His Ranch To Protest

Camp Casey.

If you listened to Randi Rhodes or Ed Schultz on the radio you heard me.

19. Dubya still slurs his speech as he talks.

Last time I heard a soundbite from him, those “s’s” were STILL “sh’s”. And that was very recently when he was briefly back in the news again, as of about a week ago.
