Speaker 2 (00:16):
Iaved Day, and George W. Bush. This past weekend, I saw,
I was I don't know, Fox News was reporting and
George W. Bush was running some like race somewhere for
veterans and I guess he does portraits as well as paintings.
He did a Veterans Day event as well. At it
(00:41):
was before the Dallas Cowboys game, and you know, I
saw it and I had a walk out of the room.
I did. I had a walk out of the room.
I can't watch the guy, can't. Can't. This is somebody
that I supported. I supported, I voted for I believed.
(01:09):
I believe what they were telling me. I believe what
they said at the time. I believe the proppaganda. That's me.
I'm the naive one. So I have a difficult time
kind of kind of get my arms around that. In
(01:30):
my older age, I get angry with myself to some degree,
and I'm very angry with him. Don't tell me that
he doesn't know that he fed up royally. Don't tell
(01:50):
me that he doesn't know what he did was wrong,
because he does. He does, and being in that position
would offer him up a tremendous opportunity. Hold a simple
press conference telling the entire way this we did this,
(02:16):
it was wrong. The United States, we screwed up royally
and put an end to all of this more mongering
nonsense that takes place. Why did I bring this up today?
I saw this story out of Iraq. Right, all right,
(02:39):
we freed Iraq. Iraq is a much better place without Saddam. Right,
Iraq is about ready to pass a new law that
would lower the legal age of consent from eighteen to nine.
(03:01):
This would allow men to marry young girls. Again, didn't
like Saddam, but we did like Saddam when he was
fighting Iran. But then we didn't like Saddam when he
was messing around and getting upset with Kuwait or Saudi Arabia.
(03:22):
But one thing that Saddam did, I mean, they had
a Christian community, They had a vibrant Jewish community within
that country, and again they didn't allow this nonsense. The
Shia conservative groups that dominate Iraq's parliament have proposed an
amendment of the country's Personal Status law that could see
(03:42):
a Taliban style rollback of all women's rights, allow young
girls to be married off, and put nearly all family
decisions in the hands of religious authorities. Did that, We.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Did that? Okay, Hey, Liz Cheney, Dick George the old again.
Look what we did. Look what we did.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
And there's George W. Bush and his wife being paraded
out there, Dallas Cowboy, fifty yard line right. Three trillion dollars,
three trillion dollars we spent on. I don't know who
(04:42):
the body counsel, who knows? Who knows? We did that.
At some point in time, we have to stop doing that.
