rawstory.com — "There's no argument that Bush has done some genuine good in pushing America's HIV/AIDS policy forward, but giving Bush the International Medal of PEACE is like giving the Dalai Lama the International Medal of WAR. You can find a rationale, but it demonstrates a genuinely insufficient sensitivity to irony," wrote Ezra Klein.

Yep. Obama "salutes" Bush as he received medal of "peace".

That's kind of funny... I missed the revised dictionary updates where they decided to flip the meanings of the words war and peace around. I might be an oldhick but I know doublespeak when I hear it.

they gave Gore a prize for all his propaganda work supporting the elite's global taxation scam. Bush has caused over a million people the peace of the graveyard, so he deserves it. Cheney should get an entrepeneurial financial wizardry award so we can worship him even more than Harry f**kin Potter! sometimes I wish someone would invent the "Full Metal Jacket" award for some of these award givers and recipients, but I'd settle for a full straightjacket award, maybe "the shackle award" with a free indefinite vacation in guantanamo bay where they learn to fully appreciate their favorite Disneyland. they can ride the waterboards, have naked barking contests with angry dogs, feel the effects of jalapeno peppers without ever eating any and is that Johnny Yoo over there waving a pair of pliers? loud rock-n-roll 21 hours a day in a puny cell is very peaceful dontcha think? did Iraq get to vote for this? Venezuela? Ossetia? ....

As important as his work combatting AIDS in Africa has been, George W. Bush's greatest contribution to peace has been the liberation of 31 million Afghanis and 27 million Iraqis.Where once you had 58 million people living in complete subjugation under brutal totalitarian regimes, you now have two Constitutional Democracies in the heart of the Middle East. History will record that it was President George W. Bush who began the transformation in the Arab world where dictatorships breeding radicalism were overtaken by freedom, fostering a peaceful coexistence with the rest of the world.

LOL.I dug your comment because I wanted people to see for themselves the level cognitive dissonance and denial. You're either living in a complete fantasy world or you're an ordinary paid comment troll.
