Vets Aren't Buying Bush's B.S.


George W. Bush should realize he is trouble when veterans wear bullshit protectors to avoid hearing his attempts to justify his war in Iraq.

Bill Moyer, 73, wears a “B.S. Protector” flap while President Bush addresses the Veterans of Foreign Wars at their 106th convention Monday in Salt Lake City. Moyer served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam.
Veterans wearing "B.S. Protector" ear flaps sat silently in the audience of the 106th convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Monday in Salt Lake City while Bush tired to compare his failed war in Iraq to both world wars and other great conflicts of the 20th century.
With the anti-war movement finding new momentum behind grieving mother Cindy Sheehan, Bush acknowledged the fighting in Iraq is difficult and dangerous. But he told the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention the fight is necessary to keep terrorists out of the United States.

But there also were anti-war signs and a few unfriendly gestures along the way. Hundreds of people gathered at an anti-war rally in Pioneer Park, about three blocks from the Salt Palace where Bush spoke.

Among them was retired Air Force Lt. Col. George Muller of Salt Lake City, who said he believed there has been a shift in the country’s attitude toward the war.

“That’s what it’s going to take – veterans groups, veterans and mothers who have lost kids speaking out,” Muller said.

1. I think that link needs fixing... otherwise, great post.

[physioex]

6. Sorry...

But Capitol Hill Blue is a piece of crap. I don't really consider them to be very reliable.....

Just dig more deeply into their website, you'll know what I am talking about....

[dbeach]

11. are you a Vet?

do U have a better link? more appropro ??.be delighted to post it!

capital blue is not banned at DU..actually NEVER even posted anything from them til now..
How come MM don't report that Vets are noy happy?
its the message this time not the site..

VET are waking up..which is more important to me and to this nation . 25 million Vets could make life very hard for the so called cic..

[physioex]

16. Wow....I was Just Disagree with the Source....

No I am not Vet. How did that come into this picture? And why does it matter?

No I don't have a better link. Just remember reading awhile back on their website that their articles are written "by any one with a keyboard and a computer". Do I like the MM? Absolutely not, most of it is fluff news in my opinion.

[dbeach]

17. cuz

if you are a Vet you would realize that this is a huge story that some ole timer of 2 wars is refusing the propaganda..

and if more follow suit and see the chikenhawks ened game then the USA as we know it may be saved..US Military is the first line of defense and the Vets are the second..It looks to me that the military
is not protecting the Citizens if they are gonna blindly follow these criminals into yet another staged war for profit.

also by saying the site is questionable is a proven method to shut down the message I was just showing that some Vets are not gonna follow the cic.

I did search for a more appropro site but can't find anything

[physioex]

18. Look....

We probably share many of the view on this war and Shrub. That was never the issue. I was never a big fan of CHB because I think that their stories are somewhat made up. I just tend to be skeptical of what I read on their site......

[dbeach]

20. kool!

maybe they got one right.
PEACE!

[Just Me]

22. Seriously, though, CHB is, ummmm,...

,...total gossip bullshit (FYI). That's not to say that such gossip isn't entertaining. It's simply not "real".

On edit: I add my opinion that GWB is such a weak and gullible and SICK individual that he has served as nothing other than a red carpet for the extreme corporatic/imperialistic/ideological regime to impose fatalistic and fascist activities upon our people and the world. IOW Bush is a fool being exploited by fascists.

[dbeach]

23. this is my best efforts

http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=581719e6-4f85-48bb-a52c-615ef31355e7

least it makes the pt...some Vets are not buying the bushemessage.

only the Moyers photo..but its says much

[physioex]

24. That's right....

That's all I was saying about CHB. And I completely agree with your opinion on Shrub.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

25. No, you tried to dump on the poster by smearing the source.

[physioex]

31. Wrong......

If I wanted to do that, I would have done so.

[kitkat65]

32. I'm sure this went over real well . . .

" . . .while Bush tried to compare his failed war in Iraq to both world wars and other great conflicts of the 20th century."

What an asshole.

[madokie]

2. Is that the same Bill Moyer I seen make a speach

[dbeach]

5. Do U have a copy?

[madokie]

10. I'm sorry I don't. I seen him yesterday on Democracy NOW
