Blair refuses to travel to US to pick up Bush war honour

[LAM]

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...2/wl_mideast_afp/britain_us_iraq_040822112549

Since when did giving the Congressional Medal of Honor become practice for US presidents ? way to go Tony...

 

[BUSTINOUT]

I sure hope GW does no go and pester our greatest ally for his gain. I'm a GW man all the way, but there are times he don't know when to shut up.

 

[gr81]

...like every time he opens his mouth

 

[Big Smoothy]

Blair association with Dumbell U. Bush has hurt him and he'll be calling an election soon.

 

[Rich46yo]

Didnt Klinton give it to Nelson Mandela? A communist? who was responsible for numerous bombings of civilian targets in southern Africa? Whatever he did, or didn't do, "and most will remember him as Christ#2". He was NOT! .........................................................abc............................

""""""""""""""10A. On July 25,1963 Congress established a set of guidelines under which the Medal of Honor could be awarded:
a.) while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States;
b.) while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or,
c.) while serving with friendly forces engaged in armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

The ANC, of which Mandela was a leader was not! a "friendly force". Remember? Their "friends" were the Soviets and the Cubans and their "goal" was to establish a communist state in all southern Africa and commit a genocide against the white population, "as is happening in Zimbabwe with commie-Bob". The ANC was virulently anti-American.......remember?

Neither was Mother Theresa, or Rosa Parks. But none of that stopped draft dodging Bill Klinton......."and Bull" from whoreing our nations highest medal for battlefield bravery into a fucking partisan political ploy.

I bet you flag-burners forgot about all that right?

That statement is simply ridiculous. Rich46yo, What do you think of gay marriage?

 

[Chain Link]

I agree Rosa Parks and Mother Theresa did NOT deserve the medal of honor(Some semi-nobel peace prize, perhaps..), it was an obvious political tool. In this case its just as bad though.. perhaps worse. Its similar to saying,"Thanks for helping me, heres 5 million dollars from the US treasury." Blair did nothing more than the rest of the UN was SUPPOSED to do following resolution 1441. If Bush gave Blair a medal, than the leaders of all of the countries(Including, but not limited to- Spain, Australia, Germany) that assisted in the war deserve the medal.
Actually, Germany deserves a medal MUCH more than England. In Afghanistan(anyone remember that war on terrorism..?), German casualties towered high above ours; We bombed from the skies, and the German troops went in and secured the caves. We had ground troops in there as well, but apparently US commanders were more than happy to let the Germans take the risky areas.
It pisses me off to see that medal given to anyone if its politically expedient. We have far too many soldiers who should have been buried with that to even consider using it as a gesture of,"Thanks for the support"
Blair wont accept it, obviously, because England was heavily against the war, and it could cost him.. and maybe.. just maybe he has enough self respect to know why its been offered anyways.

A quick search of GOOGLE will prove you incorrect. Blair, Mandela, Theresa and Parks were given the Congressional Gold Medal.http://www.congressionalgoldmedal.com/

And while you wipe that egg off your face here's another....Who did G.W. Bush award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to in 2002? Nelson Mandela

Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States' highest civilian award, by George W Bush, Washington, USA, 9 July 2002

 

[maniclion]

What kind of "Patriotic" Americans don't even know the Awards it's nation gives out?

Well, 'The Poodle' has a backbone after all. Who would have guessed.

 

[kvyd]

Red spy i dont how often you get this but that sig is fuckin awesome.

 

[Rich46yo]

No shit? I didnt even know there was a "congressional Gold medal". There aint no egg on my face, even I dont know everything. Ive been out of the military for 24 years. I dont even remember what foot to step out with. The medal of freedom Im aware of, and would be appropriate. I'd say Mommie Theresa and Rosa Parks deserve it, but not mandela or Tony.

Tony can get plenty of British medals. And mandela has all the money he stole and dont deserve shit. Boy the bombthrowers really made a hero out of this prick didnt they? http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=19085 http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewCommentary.asp?Page=\Commentary\archive\200302\COM20030206c.html

 

[Big Smoothy]

These medals are silly political and publicity tools. Reminds of the "honorary doctorates" elitist universities give to rock stars and social activists. What's it worth? Zilch.

 

[Chain Link]

Who did G.W. Bush award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to in 2002? Nelson Mandela

LOL

Manlicon what? You think your sources are balanced? You really should start reading objective history kid. I'm afraid I am right, Mandela remade himself when the cold war ended and he lost his Soviet/Cuban backing. He was a dedicated communist and was a "useful fool" for the Soviets who had spent considerable resources to gain control of southern Africa and its riches. If anything Mandela and the ANC was even more brutal against their own if suspected of aiding the apartheid regime in any way. Their favorite torture was called the "necklace" which was burning someone alive by wrapping a tire around their neck and lighting it. Heres a little balance http://southafricathetruth.netfirms.com/index.htm

I first went to South Africa in 1982 and have been back 3 times, the last time was last year. It is appalling to see how the country has degenerated. Its starting to look like every other 3'rd world shithole in Africa, of which Ive been to three other countries. The destruction of Zimbabwe by its pack of commie ruling fools is even more appalling.

If anything the ANC,Mandela, and communism slowed or even destroyed any chance for social justice in that country. Mandela is No Martin Luther King. King brought social justice thru peaceful protest and he never killed anyone. Mandela was a dedicated communist, and a terrorist with the blood of woman and kids on his hands. He wanted control of Africa for world communism and was considered a "useful fool" by the Soviets. Why do you think South Africa developed its own nuclear weapons?

But boy the world asshole media really jumped on his bandwagon didn't they. Opra had a show on it, a movie was made, and US presidents started fawning on him. The world recoiled from white suppression of blacks in South Africa but is strangely silent on the reverse in Zimbabwe, or the slaughter of tutu's by the hutu's, the genocide against blacks in Sudan, and the million torments and injustices that happen daily on that stricken continent.

But boy if its reported by the press as white against black, and it makes it on "Opra"?................watch out......take care................Rich

How ya been rich? Missed ya (not) for a few days ... the peace and quite was a lil nice though. So what do you think of them boat people there Rich? Kinda funny how the paperwork for their bronze stars didn't agree with their acusations of your boy Kerry. Not so swift after all are they?

 

[Luke9583]

Rich, just because you put an age in your name doesn't mean you can fool everybody.

 

[BoneCrusher]

What years did you serve Rich and where did you do your service? What branch where you in and what was your MOS? How were you discharged? In your posts you often throw around how you've served this great nation. How did you serve?

Somehow I have problems believing that a man who has repeated trouble typing the spelling of the name "Oprah" would be any kind of expert on media presentation or bias. These posts read more and more like some pseudo-fascist manifesto.

 

[Luke9583]

I think he gets alittle too excited when he types, if you know what I mean

 

[Rich46yo]

I never watched the show, how in hell should I know how she spells it? I see that again you have nothing to add, no stand to take, and cannot argue against my position. Your training Luke well in this too. don't you children ever have anything of substance to add? Hell manlicon at least can make intelligent contributions.

I somehow have problems believing a man who limits his contribution to threads to a small paragraph of irrelevancy. As for bonehead Im going to put him on my ignore list. His contribution is to follow me around and trying bustup threads and is just..........well................an asshole .............take care...............Rich

 

[kbm8795]

It's rather difficult to raise discussion points with someone who has no desire to consider anything beyond the RightWing Manifesto. Most of everything you write as "fact" could usually be pretty easily refuted, but you already have a rigidly established worldview that can only tune into information produced by a limited number of revolutionary revisionists. And while they are just as freedom-loving as you claim to be, most are reactionary. It is curious how easy it is for them to convince an audience that is desperate to believe broad general mythologies about ideals rather than human realities.

If the Prez himself came onto this forum and typed that he fuqued up, you and Stickboy would consult every rightwing journal and twist it into a defense of his High Reverend Bush as if methodical slaves to The Party.

 

[BoneCrusher]

KBM you used too many syllables for Rich to comprehend.

 

[BoneCrusher]

As far as contribution goes, I'll only debate an issue with someone that has the snap to DEBATE. Stick is fun to squable with ... Rich is an asshole.

 

[Luke9583]

Your training Luke well in this too.

Training, .... like the Talaban training camps Bush was funding?
