Sand Creek Massacre legislation on to Bush (will he sign it?)

[NVMojo]

considering he doesn't give a shit about what happens in Abu Graib and Gitmo ...

Washington - The final piece of legislation needed to create the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site in eastern Colorado is on its way to the White House after gaining final congressional passage, Sen. Wayne Allard said Tuesday.

The Sand Creek site, east of Eads, is where about 700 Colorado militia troops, led by Col. John Chivington, slaughtered 163 Indians camped in the area - primarily women, children and elderly men of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes - on Nov. 29, 1864.

The corpses of many of the Indians were mutilated.

1. Depends...

Is the land "prime real estate" for development, does it have any natural resources his cronies could exploit, will it require him to actually read something????

2. I bet he does.

It's being touted in the article as an economic redevelopment program. And he can use it to pretend he cares about Native Americans. He will completely miss the irony between that Methodist massacre and his own.

3. For the record, the Indians had already surrendered, and

were flying the American flag.

Chivington didn't give a shit. He attacked anyway.

If he were alive today no doubt he would be a Bush "supporter."
