Police detain protesters outside Bush library opening

[decocker 7,198]

No one said anything about revere and honor, except you. The guy had a Library opened in his name that was built with private donations. Some nuts showed up to protest a guy that has been out of office for 4+ years now. If they don't want to revere and honor the guy, no problem. Just seems a little lame to me to show up at his library opening and protest.

yeah. he's only a war criminal. no reason to protest.

Bush has been convicted of war crimes? Or are we doing away with trials now?

just because we didn't call him out on his crimes, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Good point. I had a girl call me "Mr. Hansum Man" one time at a bar in Bangkok. It must be a fact, because she said it.

Just because people died in the war doesn't make him a war criminal.

I googled supporting facts (ruling out people's opinions on the matter of course)

Selective outrage.

The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 1991 was passed with Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress.

Wrong Iraqi war.
