Bush snubbed Aussie war widow.

[jonoboy]

After his address to the Australian Parliament G.Bush laid a wreath at the War Memorial for the only Australian soldier killed in Afghanistan in 2002.
Absent from his speech or the wreath laying was the soldiers widow, completely overlooked during the Bush visit to Canberra.
And invited to the Dubbya BBQ, John Howard's great mates 2 local shock jocks who openly admire drug addict Rush Limbaugh.

* But then has George Bush even met one of the widows or families of any US serviceman killed in action ?

#Labor MP Tanya Pilbersik managed to give Condalezza Rice a manila folder with a protest letter about the Iraq war signed by 41 MPs. Condi shoved it under her arm unread and walked away.

#Greens MP Bob Brown was rewarded for taking the spotlight of deputy Sheriff John Howard during Dubbya's speech by being physically bared from entering Parlaiment to hear the President of China's speech today. He was carrying a Tibetian flag.

#A young boy in the Public Gallery as a guest of Bob Brown ,whose father is being held at Guantanamo Bay yelled out "let my Dad come home" when Dubbya mentioned Iraq and was bundled out by security guards.
