We have never had national reflection on this. Consider that W was given a "medal of freedom" by Biden for his...service to veterans (!) and that Michelle Obama proclaimed that she liked W because they "have the same values." We clearly haven't come to terms with the Iraq invasion and its thorough cruelty and criminality. I am now inquiring whether peace organizations have in mind any sort of day of reckoning for Saturday, March 19, 2023, the 20th anniversary of the invasion. Even with today's colossal distractions, I hope we have the capacity to reflect.
Thanks Jean, for bringing new facts to this story of American horror. When I traveled to Argentina in Jan. 2003, citizens there were literally “afraid of Bush.” As we all here were. But I didn’t know, completely unaware that Biden gave W the nation’s highest honor. I heard Michelle O say about Dubya and was sick to my stomach.
It turns out it was the National Constitution Center’s annual Liberty Medal. Sorry to have misled. But a fair amount of hoopla anyway and nary a MSM mention of the bizarre nature of the award.
ANY award was unwarranted. They should have thrown another SHOE at him - and not missed!
