why is a man who STARTED A WAR speaking at the war memorial?
And has any other American president EVER, started a war?

It's a disgrace.

1. To seek campaign contributions
from all I can see.. this is the only thing he has actually done in the past three + years - he lets his advisors (and the lowest level folks) take the blame for everything else... he just keeps trying to get more $.

3. He and his cabal LIED to congress.
Yes, he started a war. He and his warmongering administration OWN this war.

4. That's my point....
many presidents have started wars... The bushistas are the only ones
that didn't get Congress' approval...

6. that's the best damn question... and I have an answer.
That new memorial glorifies war...memorializes war...not the soldiers.
It is fitting.
I think somewhere around 1100 WW2 vets die every day. I think that number was tripled today if they were watching.

8. An AWOL no less.
It is a disgrace.

It would have been much more fitting and honorable to have President Gore address the veterans and their families on the occasion. If I was a WWII vet I'd be asking myself if the world was even worth saving. SO THAT THIS BAG O' SHIT COULD JUST SCREW IT UP AGAIN?
