The Last Straw. Bush* AWARDS George Tenet Medal of Freedom

[spanone]

Today our goddam ignorant president awarded George Tenet with the Presidential Medal Of Freedom. What the fuck for? For lying to him and telling him that the WMD's in Iraq were a slam dunk???? This lie that has caused the deaths of our children, fathers, mothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, and on and on. And blown limbs off the same. Who caused the deaths of over 100,000 Iraqi civilians who had done absolutely NOTHING? My God what is wrong with this world??? UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE. edit:http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/14/politics/14cnd-meda.html?hp&ex=1103086800&en=483c1085ec1d36a8&ei=5059&partner=AOL

1. Is that what he's doing?

I thought it was some kind of erotic asphyxiation.

[spanone]

15. That is a somewhat orgasmic look in Mr. Tenet's eyes.

It's an everyday occurance in politics.

[kuozzman]

2. Is this a joke?

[spanone]

3. No Sir

4. L. Paul Bremer and Tommy Franks, too... just as disgusting.

I hope all the other (decent) living past recipients throw their medals over the White House fence. Powell got his in 1993.

5. Is the Medal of Freedom a....

...stay/get out of jail free card?

[NNguyenMD]

6. Tenet's got a book coming out, I'm sure this was part of his hush up deal

[Stephanie]

7. Tenet took the fall for 9/11

Don't you think that deserves a medal?

[spanone]

8. Probably makes things even steven. It sickens me.

[Stephanie]

10. Sure. You tell the big lie, sell your soul, betray your country.

And in return the boss gives you a nice shiny thing.

9. Bushies' Cynicsm Knows No Bounds..... Can you imagine the 911 families?

Damn the Bushies* all to hell....If there is a true and just God, they surely will be...

[rurallib]

11. If **** had been our first president

Benny Arnold would have gotten a medal of freedom. I hear there's still one to be given to the person who outed Valerie Plame.

[FrenchieCat]

12. This Award has just been **DEVALUED**

It's really the "don't say anything bad about me and you get this" award.

I remember when this award meant something....just like everything else that is now the shits cause of Chimp Chump Prez.

Just remember...this award as of the year 2001 doesn't mean doodoosquat...

[bhikkhu]

29. To put it mildly...

Is there any forum for holders of the medal to protest or dissent? If I had one, I certainly would.

[Doctor_J]

13. Can't decide if this is ignorance or arrogance

by the Chimp. Does he realize what a slap in the face this is to the world?

[spanone]

14. This Abomination is on C-Span 1 right now!!!!

[dennis4868]

16. For lying to him and telling him that the WMD's in Iraq were a slam dunk??

how do we know that is true. Bush tells Woodward during his interview that Tenet tells him it was a SLAM DUNK. Are you going to believe Bush on this or anything else? No one lied to Bush....BUSH AND HIS THUGS LIED TO US GOD DAMN IT!

[spanone]

26. The only truth I know is that he gave him this fucking medal.

I don't disagree with you, it's just not my point. They set him up as the liar then gave him the medal. I don't believe shit bush* says.
They all lie. This is just rubbing shit in America's face.

17. WashPost Dana Priest Endorses Tenet Award.

She was just on Tweetie saying Tenet didn't intentionally provide bad data on WMD and that he did good work inside Iraq before the war. Yes folks, this is one of the top correspondents for the Washington Post. Tweetie said Tenet had given Powell a pack of lies to tell at the UN and was an all around clown for the WMD claim.

Things are quite serious when the Post goes THIS FAR in flacking for Bush.

The odd thing was Priest was smiling as she told Tweetie this. He was outraged.

We're up shit creek with the CORPORATE MEDIA (CM).

[dennis4868]

19. I was watching that while eating dinner.....

and completely lost my appetite! She said there is no evidence that anyone provided false evidence to the american people. THEN WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL PLANS, CHENEY AT THE CIA PRESSURING THE AGENTS FOR EVIDENCE OF WMD, BUSH IGNORING WARNINGS THAT IRAQ WAS NO THREAT AT ALL, ETC, ETC, ETC, ETC!

Dana Priest has completely LOST HER MIND!

Hey Dana, here is one example of their lies.....the NIE stated that Iraq did not have unmanned aerial vehicles that could come anywhere near close to the USA. Bush then goes out and tells the american people that Iraq does have UAV that can carry WMD to the USA scaring the shit out of the people. Bush and his thugs made that shit up you asshole! There are so many more examples of their lies.....

[autorank]

22. Sorry about dinner time. I'm near DC & the Post stinks up the place.

The Post tipped its hand in 1975 when it crushed a printers union strike. They screwed these guys. They reached their apogee of stupidity when they ran non stop Whitewater & Monica stories during Clinton's second term.

Nothing they do now should be a surprise although I can certainly see how Dana Priest would ruin your appetite. The way she smugly smiles when she lies tells me that these media whores are on some sort of bonus system.

[dennis4868]

24. I live in Washington, DC.....

and have not read the ppaer since the war.....the funny thing was is that I have not watched cable TV news shows since the damn election....tonight I turn it on for the first time since and then I have to watch that shit....off the TV goes again.

[dennis4868]

20. Dana.....

what do you call inserting a statement in your NIE that Sadaam was acquiring aluminum tubes to build a nuclear weapon when the DIA and DOE tell you that is not true....THAT IS LYING TO CONGRESS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...THAT IS GEORGE TENET! FUCK YOU DANA....

[autorank]

23. What Dana calls it is "Medal of Freedom Time"...she B a morAn

[Ivan Sputnik]

18. A disgrace

and a slap in the face to all previous recipients. Is there any way these awards could be rescinded by a future president?

[FrenchieCat]

21. Hopefully (n/t)

[LynnTheDem]

25. The Soviet States of America.

Just when I thought nothing the bush-bastard did would shock me...

[rodeodance]

27. medels might be called "hush money" per Tom Souitieri of USA Today

who was on Keith Olbermann just now. He said all three will probably write books and these medals make you write a bit nicer!!

Keith did a good segment on this issue.

28. Just when you think * can stoop no lower, somehow he manages
