BUSH IS AGAINST AMERICAN HERO'S

*** What this boils down to is -

Bush and his bunch want the US to PAY compensation to Iraqi’s that were in Abu Ghraib,

but NOT to US HERO’S that were in the Same prison.

 

Can you say HYPOCRITE?

How did Bush get to be ON the Side of Iraq

and NOT on OUR side?

 

The Bush administration is fighting the former prisoners of war in court, trying to prevent them from collecting nearly $1 billion from Iraq that a federal judge awarded them as compensation for their torture at the hands of Saddam Hussein’s regime.

 

The rationale: Today’s Iraqis are good guys, and they need the money.

 

The case abounds with ironies.

 

It pits the U.S. government squarely against its own war heroes and the Geneva Convention.

 

Many of the pilots were tortured in the same Iraqi prison, Abu Ghraib, where American soldiers abused Iraqis 15 months ago.

 

Those Iraqi victims, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has said, deserve compensation from the United States.
